GOLFING IN MAINEFROM THE MOUNTAINS TO THE SEA
While Maine is well
known for lighthouses, lobsters and lakes and for seacoast shopping and
scenery, more and more visitors each year are discovering the wonders of
Maine's challenging and scenic golf courses. In fact, visitors from around the
world enjoy the diversity that is Maine golf. From the breathtaking and
challenging Robert Trent Jones course cut out of the mountains at
Sugarloaf/USA, to the Samoset Resort's ocean side course known as the Pebble Beach
of the East, Maine offers courses for all ages and abilities. More than 30 18-hole
golf courses already dot Maine's landscape, and several more are under
construction, such as the new Robert Trent Jones Jr. course at Sunday River in
Bethel, and others in Gray and Westbrook. In addition, new championship courses
in Old Orchard Beach and Belgrade Lakes
have joined Nonesuch River in Scarborough and Point Sebago as new courses
offering real challenges. At the same time, additional nines have been added at
Bridgton Highlands, Lake Kezar and Turner Highlands. All this activity proves
more and more people have become aware of what makes Maine golf so special.
While natural hazards such as narrow fairways, sand traps and water holes may
be found anywhere, Maine courses often offer the added excitement of a
meandering moose, dancing deer or swarm of seagulls. And, how many destinations
offer golf courses that are so scenic, tourists visit just so they can sit and
watch a sunrise or sunset, or simply take in the natural beauty that includes
tree-soaked mountains, wandering streams, and native wildlife? Golfing in Maine offers
all that and more. Beauty, natural settings and challenging and competitively
priced golf courses make Maine a golfer's paradise during the spring, summer or
fall. Golfing in Maine: It's a Maine attraction. For more information, contact Charlene Williams (207)265-555 Edited by Kerry Cohen |
