Remembering our heroes on Memorial Day
Today is a good reminder that the long weekend means something more than a round of golf and a cookout. We are grateful for those who served and sacrificed, and we hope you take a moment to honor them today. Now, onto some important updates from the course...
The Day Trip — don't miss the window
Sign-ups for The Day Trip close this Wednesday, and we can't add anyone to the field after that point. The event is Saturday, May 30, with an 8:30 AM shotgun start.
For those who haven't seen the details: The Day Trip is a 2-person scramble that takes you through every hole on the property, a truly unique format that not many courses can pull off. A luncheon spread is included for all players.
Quick correction: our May newsletter incorrectly listed The Day Trip as a best-ball format. It is a 2-person scramble. Sorry for any confusion!
Stop by the pro shop or reach us at 802-482-3186 or management@cedarknollgolf.com to get signed up.
Upcoming with Denise Doyle
Denise has three great opportunities coming up in the next few weeks, from clinics later this week all the way to a full one-day school in June. There is something for every level and schedule.

Ladies Golf Lesson Series
Cedar Knoll and Denise Doyle PGA are teaming up for a Ladies Golf Lesson Series spanning four consecutive Thursday evenings of instruction, mixing range work, on-course play, and some well-earned deck time. Grab a few friends or come solo; it is designed to be social and fun while genuinely improving your game.

Session 2
June 25 – July 16
Each session runs 5 to 8 PM covering range work, on-course play, and deck time. $200 per session.
One-Day Ladies Golf School
On Monday, June 29, Denise is hosting a full-day ladies golf school here at Cedar Knoll. Running from 9 AM to 3 PM, the day covers full swing, short game, and 9 holes of on-course coaching. It is a small group format, so spots are limited and will go fast.

9:15 to 10:15 AM — Full swing (irons & driver)
10:30 to 11:30 AM — Short game (chipping & pitching)
11:30 AM to 12:15 PM — Lunch at the clubhouse
12:30 PM — 9 holes of on-course coaching
2:45 PM — Wrap-up session at the range
$150 per player. Includes PGA coaching, practice balls, and small-group instruction. Lunch, green fee, and cart fee are not included. Please note the 7-day cancellation policy for a full refund.
Denise also offers private lessons, two-person lessons, junior camps, and multi-lesson packages throughout the season. Full details are available at cedarknollgolf.com/instruction.
Firecracker sign-ups are coming up
Our 4th of July tournament, The Firecracker, is on the horizon and sign-ups are just around the corner. Here is how registration will work this year:
Members
Opens June 6
Early access for members only
Non-members
Opens June 10
Remaining spots open to all
If you are a member, mark June 6 on your calendar. Spots will fill quickly once registration opens, so do not wait on it. More details on format and pricing are coming soon.
Season memberships are closed for 2026
We have had a few folks reach out about memberships, and unfortunately we are closed for new members for the 2026 season. We appreciate the interest and hope to see everyone out on the course as daily players in the meantime. Keep an eye on the newsletter for when 2027 applications open.
That is everything for now. The Day Trip deadline and Denise's clinics later this week are the most pressing, so get on those if you are interested.
See you out there,
Cedar Knoll Country Club
