Green Mountain Championship Brings Big Names to Vermont's Disc Golf Scene

The Green Mountain Championship, held at Smugglers' Notch Resort in Vermont, is quickly becoming one of the most anticipated events in the disc golf world. This year's inaugural tournament has attracted a star-studded field, including current number one ranked player Ricky Wysocki and former World Champion Avery Jenkins.

But what's truly impressive about this event is not just the caliber of players competing, but also the high-quality course that hosts them. The 18-hole Brewster Ridge course, which debuted last July, is a par 60 challenge that stretches over 7,000 feet through moderately wooded terrain. While Spring expects scores to drop below 50 from the best in the world, he's confident that the course will provide a fair and exciting test for all players.

Newcomers to disc golf can also expect an immersive experience at the resort, which offers some of the best hiking and sightseeing opportunities in New England. And with a prize pot of $4,000, there's plenty of motivation to bring out their A-game.

But the Green Mountain Championship is more than just a tournament – it's a celebration of community and camaraderie. Paired with the event is Fiddlehead Brewing's Music & Microbrew evening, where players can sample local beers and enjoy live music from some of Vermont's best musicians. Local disc golf retailer BACHNEIN will also be on hand, sponsoring the putting contest and selling unique apparel.

This year's tournament promises to be a spectacle, with over 90 disc golfers competing across two days. And with Smugglers' Notch Resort housing over 2,000 guests this weekend, there's sure to be plenty of spectators eager to watch the world's best players in action. Whether you're a seasoned pro or just starting out, the Green Mountain Championship is an event not to be missed.

With its stunning autumn weather, picturesque course, and lively atmosphere, it's no wonder that Jeff Spring, Tournament Director, is optimistic about the future of this event. "I see this tournament growing quickly in the years to come," he says, citing advice from experienced tournament organizers like Steve Dodge (Vibram Open, Maple Hill). And with a focus on providing an all-around fantastic experience for players and spectators alike, it's clear that the Green Mountain Championship is here to stay.
