Tee pads make all the difference. Many in place, and more to come. Thanks, James and crew!

I lived in Stowe for 5 years, I loved playing Center Chains in Waterbury Center, I don't think it had a name back when I was there in the late 90's early 2000's. I can't stress how challenging and fun this course is. With a mix of basket placement, tight and wide driving lanes, hidden baskets etc. God I miss VT!!! I highly recommend playing this course!

I used to think very highly of the course, but now feel I need to lower my previous rating.
Pros
- It's free
- Good variety of hole placement and terrain.
- Navigation isn't very difficult. Only a few holes you need to back track to find the path.
- Baskets are in great shape
Cons
- A good number of the holes are surrounded by trees, which makes a lot of your approach shots rely on luck.
- Tee boxes are either in bad shape or non-existant
- Can get pretty crowded on the weekends, sinc ...

Pretty fun layout with some nice elevation changes..decent mix of long and short range throws.. I’m really impressed with the work that has been done on the course in last few years! Tee pads on all holes now and the landscaping has come a long way..great job to whoever is putting the work in..love the course, love the layout..has moved into my top 5 in Vermont behind Brewster Ridge, Fox Run, Wrighstville beach, and the Quarries at Barre Forest. It’s worth a play if in the area!

Recently a group of us have taken on maintaining the mowing of the course and it is finally on point for summer play. Previous summers it has been discouraging playing in june-september. But for now we are keeping up with it and are starting fundraising tournement/club play on Sundays to get the money needed to keep the grass low.

Very nice course -- shortish and technical with a nice mix of holes. Conditions were horribly muddy and wet.

Amazing course for all abilities!!! A little wet in the spring but still my favorite course of all time. Good for people that throw both backhand and forehand. BEST COURSE IN VT!!!!!

Played x3 in July 12
Pros: terrain features, fairly easy to navigate first time, elevation changes, variety of shots
Cons: not maintained, not marked, no t-pads on all but 2?, a majority of the natural pads are in very poor shape
I played part of my first round with a local who explained the lack of funding and no one really being responsible for working on it. I understand VT has few courses so thats why its crowded. Its a shame that this course is largely neglected by lack of maintenanc ...

Course is in great shape. Mostly dried out, except the usual wet spots

Excellent course with lots of variation, beautiful scenery and challenges. Only drawback is the lack of par-4 or more and no tee signs (yet). Well maintained, played here for the first time in a tournament - super course.

Surprisingly fun course, short holes. New tee pads/platforms being added currently. Course was well maintained/mowed.

Beautiful 18 hole course, mostly wooded shots with some open shots mixed in. Tee pads are present, maintained well however could be a little short. Some holes can be a little tricky to follow between but mostly average signage. Worth the drive especially since it’s by donation for cost to use.
