July Maine Trip

[jsgolfer]

Heading to Maine at the end of July to move my son out of his apartment in Orono.  Bringing my wife for her first visit to Maine.  Staying in Portland a couple of days, Camden a few days and then Bangor (where I'm from) for a for days.

Hope to get in 5 or 6 rounds over the week.

Will definitely play:

Samoset Golf Club - it's called the "Pebble Beach of the East" - Great Course, great views of the Atlantic.

Penobscot Valley CC - I used to be a member here back in the early 2000's, great Donald Ross course, he made a trip up 95 and designed a slew of great courses.  Augusta CC, Waterville CC (Mike "Fluff" Cowan was a member here and I believe an asst. pro at one time) , Portland CC, York CC, Biddeford Saco CC and a few others.

Kebo Valley - along with Aroostook Valley CC these are two of my favorite courses in Maine.  

Acadia National Park is in the background.

Hopefully I'll play a couple of different courses in the Portland area while I'm in town.  Going to see if my pro can get me on any of the private courses in the area, as I've played all of the public courses.  Sable Oaks has kicked my butt several times over the years.

Congratulations on the wedding!

I miss New England. Was not a golfer back 17 years ago when I lived there in Mass near Nashua valley, but am a sucker for courses with mountain view backdrops now.

Enjoy!

Nice man I'll probably be playing a lot of rounds at penobby June-July as well as Hidden Meadows which is my "kick Back and Relax" course nice 9 hole not to out of the way but just enough that you can play at your own pace without having to feel rushed. Hope the weather is good for you, today it's supposed to be 86 and mostly sunny!

Sable is fun and Prouts neck would be fun if you can swing it. Sunday River has golf now times.
