Sugarbush Resort Golf Club in Warren is a design masterpiece created by the legendary Robert Trent Jones, Sr. His talent is on display in every one of its 18 holes which are tucked away amongst the peaks and valleys of the Green Mountains.

Designed with respect for the natural mountain setting and its breathtaking vistas, the par-70 course offers a challenging golf experience and a true sense of “getting away from it all” in one of Vermont’s most picturesque landscapes.

Precautions for a safe event: In keeping with current state and federal guidelines for COVID-19, AVCU requests that unvaccinated tournament participants wear a face covering during on-site check-in and whenever people are gathered together in groups. We also ask that during tournament play, unvaccinated participants are respectful of their team member’s wishes with regard to face coverings. No precautions are necessary for fully vaccinated participants.
