Open to the public seven days a week, Mt. Anthony Country Club features an 18-hole regulation length course: 6,364 yards of golf from the blue tees for a par of 71. The course rating is 70.5 and it has a slope rating of 127.
A major golf course renovation is under way under the direction of Golf Course Architect, A. John Harvey, of the RBA Group to take full advantage of the spectacular Green Mountain location and challenge players at every level. The restoration process includes reshaping of bunkers and tee complexes. No more than two complexes are being worked on at the same time, so the inconvenience to golfers is minimal. A systematic agronomic program has been initiated in existing grass areas, fairways and greens to improve the overall quality of the turf. You will be able to enjoy the course even as you see the careful renovation process up close.
Please note that:
- Members can reserve tee times 7 days in advance.
- Non-members can register 3 days in advance.
- Players should sign-in at the Pro Shop 15 minutes before tee time.

Golf Tip of the Month from the Pro
In the two previous lessons, we talked about your grip and stance, now we will talk about the most important part of the game...PUTTING.
If you were to ask most golfers what cub in there bag is used the most, their response is the Driver, which is incorrect. The club that is used on almost every hole is the putter. So let's talk about PUTTING. The grip with your putter closely resembles your other grip except you want to hold the putter more in your fingertips and extending your left index finger over your right finger tips. The grip pressure should be very light so you can feel the putter head. Your stance will be shoulder width apart, slight bend at the waist so your arms swing freely. The swing of the putter should be straight back and straight forward, similar to a pendulum.
This is the shortest swing in golf, but also the most important because your longer swing will start with the putting stroke. Remember to keep your eyes focused on where the ball was before you struck it, not looking up to see it roll. Listen for the ball to drop in the hole. Practice your putting and you will see your scores drop.
See You on The Links,
John Cleanthes, PGA Professional
