Other Thoughts:
**Maine has had a vast amount of rain/snow this year and as a result of the late ending to the winter season, this likely caused the holes I saw to be more waterlogged than normal. However I still feel some trenching could have mitigated some of this and dried the holes earlier. Though I am no expert by any means.
I played this course the week prior to a PDGA - B tier event and also during the event so course conditions were likely at their peak.
Regardless, this course is a must play in the L/A area of Maine and forces a vast amount of shot types. From long open holes where two bombs and an approach and get you to the basket or shorter technical holes that require precision. Even holes that require a long bomb to start and precision to finish. Risk/Reward, Options for routes, diversity of shots. This course has a lot to offer and no two holes feel quite alike.
I recommend this course to anyone in the area or traveling to the area. While it plays to an Intermediate/Advanced skill level, beginners and pros alike will also enjoy the course and find quite a challenge.
