"To circumnavigate the Green Mountain Range, to play golf on course after course in Vermont...is to enjoy a varied and interesting experience that no lover of Golf and Nature can afford to miss," lauded the Vermont State Chamber of Commerce in 1926. The United Opinion that spring went on to quote, "Vermont, like Scotland, is a country built for golf. Vermont is the Golfer's country."

There was golfing in Montreal in the 1850s and it was introduced into Vermont and New Hampshire later that century. In a 1987 book on golfing in Vermont, authors Bob Labbance and David Cornwell chronicle that history. In 1886, the Dorset Field Club, a nine-hole course was established. By the time the Vermont Golf Association was organized in 1902, there were at least six clubs including the Old Pine Golf Club in St. Johnsbury.
