Comfortable 9 Hole Course drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Feb 11, 2023 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

It's not terribly far from 95, off exit 48. Located on the site of the old mini golf course and batting cages spot. It's just a 9 hole course but it's fairly open, there are a few very large trees but most of the shots are fairly open and easy. The ranges are 182 feet to 453. It's compact, not a lot of walking or steep elevations. Every hole is right along the parking lot. Not a lot of dense forest or running rivers. Decent winter course because it gets a bit of sunlight. Has a little restaurant and bar on site and other activities. The score cards have a nice map attached to navigate the course, it's a sturdy postcard size card.

Cons:

The teepads are old plywood boards, can be slightly confusing to find the teepads. But the score card has a map. Baskets are a little old and rusty, short course. Not a lot of challenging stuff, everything is straight forward. It's a good place to just practice driving or putting.

Other Thoughts:

I'm not sure if they plan on adding to it. It was a cheap $5. The attendants in the big house are friendly, I believe they have a regular 18 hole golf course and simulation golf as well. It's not a bad course if you want something quick, convenient and easy to play before dark.

Enjoyable 9 hole stop on the Roadtrip 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Jul 14, 2019 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

The course was well maintained, what one might come to expect from a ball golf course maintenance crew. Flow of the course was easy to follow and tee pads and signage were in good condition. And the staff was nice. I also liked that the kept the disc golf course isolated from the ball golf course. I have played a couple that share fairways and I always am a bit unnerved when playing on those types of courses. That is not the case here since they are on different parts of the property. There was a good mix of distances and while not lot of elevation changes, there was a enough to give me something to consider, even if it didn't actually change the disc selection.

Cons:

I am from out of state and because there are plenty of free courses back home, so pay to play is always a con for me. Although when talking to a couple locals that I ran into on the course, it seems to be the norm in Maine. $5 didn't seem too bad for the day though. Hole 8 didn't seem like it had any defined line to get to the basket, but I guess with it being a par 4, it is possible the designer was trying to get players to throw for a landing zone, but that wasn't obvious to me. I also prefer concrete pads to the turf ones, but is purely personal preference and turf is better than just grass.

Other Thoughts:

Being from out of state, I can't really compare it to other courses in the area. But compared to other 9 holes I have played elsewhere in the country it is definitely one of the better ones. With the exception of hole 8 the other par 4's seemed like they could be long par 3's but it didn't seem unreasonable to me to call them par 4. There was not a lot of shot shaping required, but most holes give you something to think about. Overall I believe that this course is set up that both beginners as well as experienced players can enjoy a round or two.
