Summer golf in Vermont is getting a major upgrade in 2026.

The Michelob ULTRA Golf League is officially returning to Killington Golf Course, bringing Thursday night scramble tournaments, weekly prizes, and one of the most competitive (and fun) summer golf formats in New England.

Running from June 11 through August 27, 2026, this 12-week league combines social golf, competition, and a strong après-style clubhouse atmosphere every Thursday evening.

Sponsored by Michelob ULTRA, the league continues to grow as one of the most popular summer golf events in the Killington region.

This setup keeps play fast, social, and competitive while maximizing participation across all 18 holes.
