I have played this course a few times and have never seen anything like it. First of all, the conditions are some of the best that I have played on. They keep improving each year and it is hard to find anything to complain about at this point with regards to the fairways and the greens. The greens usually run at about a 9 or a 10 and are extremely pure- but tricky. You need to be able to put approach shots (usually with wedges) near the pin or else a 3 putt can be imminent. If you are at least an average golfer, play the back (black) tees, the course is not long, and playing the whites costs you all of the best/scenic/interesting tee shots on the course. Also, one thing to note is that the pace of play is like no other course. Even on a packed Saturday with foursomes clogging the course you will finish 18 in less than four hours. All of the staff are also very friendly. In my opinion, this course is one of the best in Maine, right up there with Belgrade and Sugarloaf.

A friend and I played the course at around 1 pm on a Monday. It was a little windy but otherwise very pleasant. The staff was very kind and accommodating throughout the day. The course was in great condition, greens, tees and fairways were all perfect. The greens were rolling at about a 9 on the stimp I would guess. We waited on most holes but that was only because we were a 2-some; the round took around 4 hours 15 minutes. I would recommend going out later when the price drops and it is less busy. Also, disregard the reviews before 2016 because that is before the course was re-done. Overall great experience!
