Dear Participants and Guests,

Welcome to the 2026 Vermont Amateur Championship.

On behalf of everyone at Ekwanok Country Club, congratulations on earning your place in this year's championship. We are honored to host one of Vermont's most prestigious amateur golf events and look forward to welcoming you to Ekwanok.

To help make your visit as enjoyable as possible, we have provided the following information for your arrival.

Parking

There will be ample parking available for all participants and guests. We encourage carpooling whenever possible and ask that you please be mindful of your surroundings when parking in the upper lot. Golf staff and volunteers will be available throughout the week to direct traffic and assist you as needed.

Upon Arrival

Upon arriving at Ekwanok, you will be greeted by member volunteers, and staff who are here to help you become familiar with the club. They will be available to assist with registration, the clubhouse, Golf Shop, practice facilities, cart staging, and the first tee.

If you have any questions during the championship, please look for someone wearing a green lanyard. We will be happy to assist you.

Locker Room

The locker room is located in the main clubhouse directly across from the Golf Shop. If you need a place to change your shoes or clothing, please use the locker room.

Players who requested lockers in advance will find one assigned with their name. If you decide you would like a locker after arriving, please let us know and we will accommodate your request.

Practice Facilities

All competitors have full access to the driving range and short-game practice facilities throughout the championship.

Please pay close attention to the maximum carry-distance signs posted on the range each day. The first hole at Equinox Golf Club is located just beyond the tree line at the end of our practice range. For longer hitters, we have yellow limited-flight practice balls available.

There is plenty of space for both championship participants and Ekwanok members to practice during the event, and we appreciate your cooperation in helping us keep everyone safe.

Players may carry their clubs, utilize their own caddie, use a pull cart, ride in a golf cart, or utilize one of Ekwanok's caddies.
