Ditto Simper here.
VT National and CC of VT (Cooke isn't exactly a no-name, but most of his work has been in Canada) are very comparable. They are both open and windswept with modern bunkering. They have some good elevation change, with CC of VT having more, and both take a few holes into the trees. If I had to pick one, I'd say CC of VT, but they are VERY close.
Burlington CC is a Ross-rooted course that has been squeezed of everything Ross but the routing. Not bad but not noteworthy either.
Rutland and Okemo are great for different reasons, but they are both pretty far from Burlington, Rutland being closest at about 60 miles down route 7. Okemo is further, and a modern, mountain-type course in front of their ski mountain.
I checked out Stowe Mountain club last weekend, and it was in great shape. The design is well, interesting, built literally onto the side of a very steep mountain across from Mt. Mansfield. It is fun though if you have the ability to access it, and the views are ridiculous, especially considering the leaves are beginning to turn. I have not played the Stowe CC course, but I've heard it's nice and forgiving. The card is pretty short too.
DON'T play Sugarbush when it's wet, dry, or in any other condition. I can't think of a course that might be against the GCA sensibilities more. Hopefully now that they have refurbished the lodges and added the condos at the bottom of Lincoln Peak, they will turn to the golf course. It might be the #1 "in need of a complete redo" candidate in New England as it isn't up to the standards of the rest of the resort.
