Golf in Alburgh

Alburgh is a Vermont town coextensive with the Alburgh peninsula, a narrow tongue of land surrounded by Lake Champlain and the Richelieu River at Vermont's northernmost point. The community is connected to the Vermont mainland by a causeway and to Quebec by bridges, giving Alburgh a genuinely binational character with strong ties to the Canadian border towns across the lake. The surrounding Champlain Islands archipelago creates an extraordinary landscape of open water, working farms, and orchard land that feels apart from the rest of Vermont. Apple orchards and vineyards have taken advantage of the lake's moderating effect on temperatures. The islands' apple orchards bloom in May, and the fall harvest draws visitors for pick-your-own fruit and local cider production that complements the area's summer recreational economy.
