If you are playing only 9 holes, the layout of the course makes it difficult (you end up 1.5 miles from the clubhouse and need to weave through the other holes with people hitting into you). The course is also very expensive compared to what I am used to. But if you are in Bar Harbor I would recommend playing this course!

Christine and the prop shop staff are very accommodating and will help you feel comfortable and welcome.

Then we went for a walk on the pathway and what a view. If you are a golfer, it is incredible. Then we had the sharing plate, everything smoke on the menu was there. It was super good. Everyone had his favourite. Mine was the briskets. You have to pick your side. Stay away from the potato salad. It made with roasted potato and not very good. It's eating cold fries. The beans with the scones together was my favourite. Hope they bring out a macaroni and cheese. Cause that would have made the meal better. I love it, so I will go back. If you like a smokehouse, this is worth the detour

We played the Algonquin Golf Club at St. Andrews by the Sea in August and had a wonderful time. The…read morestaff made sure our golf cart was loaded, that we had water, that we were paired up with another couple, and that we understood the course layout and rules. If you can keep your eyes off the scenery, the golf course has many challenges but if you can manage to stay on the fairway you have half the battle conquered. Greens were pretty fast and it was a cart path only day, so everyone walked almost as much as if we had taken pull carts. Then we played. The scenery is spectacular. The course is maintained in excellent condition. Golf carts are in great condition. The course played in about 4.5 hours. There are restrooms on each nine about halfway through.

The course also had a great pine smell, at least from where I was playing/searching most of the day. All sprinkler heads I saw (not many, see above) were yardage markers, which always helps. It's "semi-private", which means outside of high season (July 1-Aug 31), any duffer (e.g. me, maybe you) can walk on- $45 to walk, $50 to ride. Unless you want a workout, pay the $5 to ride, because it's pretty hilly. I also rented clubs- $25 and got some pretty new Titleist irons and woods (tees, ball marker and divot dig provided, have to buy balls separately). So I paid $76 to walk with clubs and a few balls- those of us coming from NYC or (I assume) Boston areas aren't going to find a better deal at home. The course wasn't crowded, I played alone, so I the round was probably about 3:40. Now, during high season, it's apparently a little different. For July and August, they told me non-members are permitted between 7-8 am and 12-1 pm, with a rate of $85 to walk, and presumably $90 to ride. But you're best to call them for specifics about times, prices, etc. Presumably the pace is slower once the crowds hit, but still, I wouldn't be upset paying $85-&90 for that course with the conditions I had. One other thing- I didn't know I'd be playing on this trip, so I didn't even have a collared golf shirt. They were cool with a decent tshirt, though I did feel underdressed, and it being semi-private, I recommend proper golf attire if you can plan for it.

Walking rate is relatively inexpensive but the course has somw good hills to walk around. This yeae qe have golfed there twice. Very friendly service no matter who is in there.

Has 18 hole tees but not that kind of course. Play it in the mourning then again in evening, there's ur 18. Not too expensive one-off but it is really a semi private course.

Club house has changing room and bathrooms but no food. There is a soda/water vending machine. Pay by the honor system if no one is around. Wednesday nights around 5 (4 when the light gets shorter) is an open scramble. One fee ($25, I think) for all day. One steep hill on a par 4. Holes 4 and 5, both par 5s, crisscross to add to the excitement. Course is usually lightly played, good place to take a beginner. No carts so you'll have to carry or bring a pull cart (I think they have pull carts available).

Bangor Muni is pound-for-pound the best golf course in the greater Bangor area. With 27 total…read moreholes (one 18-hole course plus the bonus "Kelly 9"), it's always easy to get on even during peak times. For practice, it has two oversized pitching/putting greens by the clubhouse and an easy-to-use, coin-operated range (tip: do the 3 for $10 deal). The course is typically in excellent shape, and while it has very few water hazards, it makes up for it with multiple doglegs, undulating greens, and well-placed bunkers. The course has several weeknight events and tournaments on the weekend, appealing to all levels of golfers. For example, my wife loves the "Wine and 9" ladies night, which features group instruction and drinks/snacks at the end. There are a variety of membership options that can save you some money, but overall, it's quite affordable to play, and I tend to opt for the 10-play passes (available for greens fees and cart), which provide a small discount. The ballpark cost of playing 18 with a cart is $40-45. After your round, the siren song of the attached Hero's restaurant/19th hole (with an incredible deck overlooking beautiful scenery) will demand your presence and assist you with either drowning out that crucial missed par putt or celebrating a record round. It features a solid draft beer lineup (typically BL, a rotating Sam Adams varietal, and Frye's Leap IPA) with several alternative bottle options and a pared down menu from the main Hero's downtown location. It might be bar food, but it's high quality -- may I suggest the boneless wings with sweet potato fries or one of their killer wraps? You'll thank me. On weekends, they even feature a popular brunch. And the end of the season "empty the bar" scramble tournament is tops. I can't speak more highly of the staff, the grounds, or the fun to be had at this course. *Golf Clap*

The only real complaint was the lay out of the seating. Some of the guests were off in a room that hooked onto the main room and away from all of the main festivities. It seemed as if they weren't even part fo the wedding during the introductions and the food. But of course like most weddings, when the music starts and things open up, everyone is together anyways. But the staff seemed to have done a great job. I had no complaints from my end. We had the prime rib and I agree with my mother when I say it's the best prime rib I've had in the greater Bangor area. The only place that has competed is Millers Salad Bar and Pilots Grill and both of those places are out of business. If you get a chance to go there, get the prime rib.

I did not want to only play there once so I stayed over at the Whitetail Inn and played a second time.
