I've played 78 courses in Maine if you ever want my take on any course send me a PM and I'll give you my thoughts.

Bangor Muni is where I grew up playing as a kid.   White Birches in Ellsworth is not the best course in the area (really short), but it is a place to play.  They do have 27 holes.  The Trenton course is a much better layout (didn't realize that they renamed it the Bar Harbor Golf Course, since it's not close to Bar Harbor, LOL) and could be a great course, but the conditions were always a little on the low end.  Kebo Valley at the base of Cadillac Mtn near Acadia National park would be the must course to play in the area, well worth the 40 minute drive from Ellsworth.

Welcome to TST.  Where in Maine are you from?  I live in Virginia now, but am originally from Bangor.

I'm in the western mountains.  I play at Sugarloaf, Mingo Springs, Wilson Lake. Lakewood.  I used to live in Bangor.  Actually right on Webster Ave, the road the "muni" is on.  Played there tons.  Bangor was a great hub for golf.  So many courses within a 20 mile radius.  Some of them dog tracks, but I never discriminated.  It's all good.
