    Really great local track in Shelburne, VT. Senior green fees were $79 w/ cart & CC 1% fee. Course…read morewas in really good condition and greens were about 10 on the stimp meter. We were a 2some and played in 3.5 hours. There is water on the course so bring your own yeti! Couple of holes are blind shots so good luck where to hit it. Really enjoyed the course and highly recommend it.

    Kwini has made a bunch of changes and undergone transformation under new ownership. The current…read morecourse is in much better condition with very nice fairways now. The roughs are not as comparable as some of the fancier more expensive courses around. The greens are good, some of which are very tricky. They can be a bit inconsistent though depending on the sun with some being very fast and some being very slow. The sand traps are in pretty good shape and overall the course has enough interest to play repeatedly as a member or non-member. Speaking of membership, it's one of the more affordable ones around. For seniors who use the senior tees, the course is quite playable. But if you want longer distance, for the majority of the holes, if you play from the back tees the distance should more than suffice. Fairways are in excellent shape with a dearth of water hazards (maybe 3 on the hole course). Water is less of a challenge than sand but there are some elevation changes to keep things interesting. The back 9 has a little more variety and is a little more challenging. Customer service is generally good but can vary. Clubhouse is fairly basic but has a decent choice of food. This is strictly a golf club, not a country club with pools and tennis courts and the prices reflect this. All in all, the course doesn't beat you up and you can go away with a sense of playing a good round of golf even if you aren't familiar with it. I would certainly recommend this course as a very solid public course. Lastly, their updated practice facilities are very good (as good as any you'll find around) and the ball machine with the tracker technology is pretty fun if you are looking to hit a few at the range.

    Jake and Emma are fantastic humans, stayed calm and cool through our scary situation…read more I signed up for the 9 mile upper river gorge, rented 2 kayaks. The description mentioned 6 years old and up, So I figured awesome, easy enough for my boyfriend who had never gone kayaking before. There are two rapids that seemed easy enough, but my boyfriend flipped on the first rapid and that kind of set the tone going forward. Getting closer to the second rapid, you could hear the roar of the water, when I could actually see the spot we had to go through, it was cut through large boulders. We where never told to stay to a certain side or that the water level was extremely high. As we got closer to the rapid I could see 3 whirlpools and knew it was going to be trouble for my boyfriend, who was already shaken up at this point. The whirlpool pulled us away from the rapid and towards the boulder, my boat filled with water and dumped me, the multiple whirlpools kept pulling my under trapping me, every time I popped up I could hear my boyfriend screaming for me. We tried to get out and by the whirlpools but there unfortunately was 4 and the current was to strong with the water being to high. I was able to get service and call umiak, I spoke to Emma who stayed cool and calm and Jake showed up like a super hero! We hade to walk up stream and cross the river at a "calmer" spot. Jake grabbed our kayaks and got us to safety once we crossed the river. Jake did mention the river was high and on the verge or requiring a guide, and that we should have gone a certain way around and island to approach the rapid. My boyfriend was shaken up and not willing to go on, understandably. When we got back to our cabin Emma had called to offer us the kayaks at the reservoir. Overall the folks who work at Umiak are fantastic and so caring. Unfortunately we had a really bad time that ended with some trauma, and a sprained finger for my boyfriend, and bruises all over my body. I also understand these are non refundable trips, but I don't feel like I should have to pay the full price for less then a quarter of the experience.

    TLDR; Really wanted a kayak Umiak advertised. Was worried it would be sold before I could get…read morethere. Was assured no worries. Gave them my credit card info etc. to hold the boat. Arrived as it was leaving with another customer. I was very interested in a kayak Umiak advertised on their website. I called and spoke to Brian on Sunday to confirm it was there. He advised it was there. I explained that I was VERY interested and was concerned it would be sold before I could come see it. I was assured it was fine and not to be concerned. Monday we had a snow storm. I called and spoke to Brian. I explained I was really wanted that kayak and was worried it would be sold before I could get there. I provided Brian with my credit card info etc. and asked if he could consider it SOLD. He took all my info and said he wouldn't charge the card until I got there but that the Kayak was mine. I spoke to another person there Tuesday and explained that, as it was a 14' kayak, I'd like to come with a trailer but couldn't be there until Saturday. I was assured that my name was on that kayak, they had even just wiped it down for me and it would be ready for me Saturday. I explained again that I was concerned about it being sold before I could get there but was assured it was fine. Saturday I arrived just as the kayak I had "purchased" was leaving in the bed of another persons pickup. Brian apologized, said he had messed up, etc. none of which does me any good. A specific trip was made to Stowe. If I'd had any indication I should get there earlier I would have. I'm not sure if this is incompetence or a lack of ethics on their end but unfortunately I, as a consumer, have no recourse but to complain. Maybe someone in the future will be aware that this is not a business that lives up to it's word.
