Pros: Rick Burns has created a most wonderful disc golf course. Excavated from the thick birch and spruce, Rick and brother Bob have carved out a nice little course that is playable by all skill levels. Plays over subtle elevation and short, reasonably open fairways and gives a lot of ace runs which keeps the golfers excited the whole round (they have a hole in one honor roll on each tee sign). Baskets are challenging and have narrower chains and shallower baskets (which is fair considering the shorter overall length.). I showed up on a winter day and found that not only were people playing, but that they run a the Gator over the fairways and sand the tees to make the course playable! The Burns family lives for disc golf and if you hit them Saturday evening, you can listen to the band (EZ 7) practice the blues in the club house.
Cons: About 75% of the course can be aced, but that was apparently the intention of the designer - having built the course for the way he likes to play the game. This can be looked at as a pro or con.
Other Thoughts: When they finish with the project to fill the ponds there will be some added challenges that will also add to it's beauty.

Pros: Hospitable hosts. Private. Beautiful.
Cons: Yea, once the water hazards are renovated this will be a mecca. Love these types of courses. Pay to play has never been so beneficial. These guys work hard on improvements and maintenance. The floor of the roughs have been well groomed making disc retrieval easy.
Other Thoughts: I got to the course for my first round ever on a saturday morning. Gorgeous fall saturday. We had beers at noon, disced all day, and then got to watch the band practice that night. Good sounding band I might ad. Camped out back and woke to another pristine fall morning. Had some breakfast and played another couple of rounds. Great hosts.

Thanks Steve.

Pros: Very well designed course with a good mixture of holes types and elevation changes. Hard to lose a disc here since once you step off fairway the shule is almost non existent. Fee's are very reasonable. Tee pads are concrete and in pretty good condition.
Cons: The water hazards as they exist today are muddy/murky/swampy hazards. Not the type of hazard you want to wade into to retrieve a stray disc. However the owner does have plans to completely change and clean up the water hazards in the future and from what he described to me its exactly what this course needs to become a near perfect course. Cant wait to see it!
Other Thoughts: Rick Burns is very hospitable and friendly and usually up for a round. Burnsboro is a great to course to get out and play and enjoy a wonderful piece of land in a very relaxing environment. The Burns family is obviously very committed to the sport!

*update 2/4/09 I wrote my original review during nicer weather so I didnt think to include this: Burns is a great course to play during the winter in Maine. Rick drives various machines through the course often and the result is that most of the fairway is hard pack snow making a winter round much more dry and enjoyable (provided you keep your shots on the fairway lol). in short Burns is a year round course!
