28 YEARS EXPERIENCE: Ken Rachlis, former MVP of the U.V.M. Golf Team in 1981-1982, turned professional in 1982 and became Head Professional at Wuabeeka Springs Golf Links in Williamstown, Mass.

LOCALLY OWNED and OPERATED: Locally owned and operated by Ken and Karen Rachlis since 1989. Be assured that doing business at Ken's Golf Shop keeps your dollars in Vermont, and in Chittenden County, and always will. As longtime residents of Chittenden County, we care deeply about our customers and our community, and have been recognized as significant contributors to many local charities and fund raisers in our local community.
DEMO PROGRAM: We offer a full line of Demo Clubs from all the Top Names in Golf! We allow you to take our demos to your golf course or driving range, so you can test them under the exact golf conditions where you intend to use them. See the "ACTUAL" performance and Ball-Flight off real turf conditions. This way you are not limited to hitting off artificial turf indoors and relying on a machine to tell you what happened. Ever buy a club based on hitting it indoors only to find out that outdoors it doesn't do what you had hoped? Having trouble carrying the hazzard on 18 into the wind? How about that O.B. right off the tee on 5 into a cross wind? Coming up a little short on 15 and want to see if you can gain 10 yards and reach the green? Maybe you just need 5 more yards out of a 3 wood to reach that par 5 in two on the back nine. Or maybe you just want to see how an iron gets through the rough and or a tight lie. Take out our demos and see exactly how they perform and if they REALLY help your game! Indoor simulators are a useful tool, but we believe that performance outdoors in real golf conditions should always be the final proving ground. Rest assured there is never any cost or obligation, and if demoing simply confirms that your current set is working just fine, well there is good value in that too. Believe it or not, not all golf clubs do everything the thing the manufacturer's ads claim they do, and as much as we all wish it were true, turning you into Freddy Couple's overnight, allowing you to never miss a fairway or green like the ad says is probably not going to happen, So stop in and let us help you determine what golf products may or may not help your game, and again "TRY BEFORE YOU BUY"..it's the best way to determine whether a club is worth spending money on.
TRADE-IN PROGRAM: The goal of Ken's Golf Shop has always been to "make a friend, not a sale", which means building lifelong relationships. With a strong focus on customer service we have always accepted trade ins. One of the most popular areas of our shop has always been the Trade-In section, where customers search for that "diamond in the rough" or a "special value". We always give the highest possible trade in value, and pride ourselves in selling quality used clubs in good or excellent condition. Stop in and see the latest trade ins in our used section, but be fore warned, they don't last long so act fast!
PERSONALIZED FRIENDLY SERVICE: You'll always see a familiar face, and someone who knows about your game, and your golfing needs. We pride ourselves in getting to know our customers.
