Quarries is built around an old abandoned section of the vast granite quarries of central VT. It's a heavily wooded course with some use of trails and roads as fairways. I frequent this course because it's just a nice place to walk around and be surrounded by history. Enough about the scenery, Quarries demands accuracy more than distance, placement and strategy is key if you want to score well. Many of the fairways have a winding snake like shape that tactfully pull eyes away from simple strait shot options, at least that's the way it looks to me. Hole 16 is signature in that it has two towering stone walls on either side of the tee that have a sort of medieval feel to them.

Some of the tee boxes are raised and shaped with small granite blocks and gravel fill. Even though it is good use of on site material, they lack stability and crumble apart making footing short and uncomfortable. Hole 1 in particular is always a struggle for me to settle into. More of a caution than a con but there is a network of mountain bike trails criss crossing the course that has potential for disc contact. Some of the fairways are lined with cavernous boulder piles that eat discs are dangerous to climb around and search in

I dig this course because it pulls out the midrange skill set a lot instead of just driver driver off every tee.

Great views of the old granite quarries. Interesting shots, especially 5 over the water, very doable by an intermediate thrower but dramatic with sheer granite walls into water. Well marked next holes. Some nice crushed granite tee pads. Beautiful area and course is getting some real love.

Holes 8 and 9 (maybe also 10) are a long slog up hill along a dirt road / snowmobile path. Some long walks between holes. Disc concealing ferns on a few holes (lost one on 6). Be ready for a hike in the woods.

The course caretakers are likely fighting to be able to keep this clear. There are a lot of trees and some high grass. On the first several holes I caught trees mid flight on first drive, but then was able to drive to hole on next try.

The long walk up 8, 9, 10, is rewarded with some very nice views along 12 and 13. If you want to shorten things, after 7 there is a sign to 14, but maybe walk backwards up 13 to catch the quarry view.

If you are on route 89 in Vermont, this is a cool course, 15 minutes off the highway. Definitely worth checking out!

Excellent variety of holes and some great views! Multiple tees on some holes help to even the playing field.

Easy to lose discs on a couple of holes in the rocks. Climbing up on them to retrieve discs can be dangerous. New course still needs a little more work - but so far it is a great addition to the VT scene.

I really hope that this course will put up some wire or fencing to prevent discs from sliding into holes and gaps in the huge rock piles that can gobble up discs - and are not really safe to climb on to search for lost discs.
