One of the best golf experiences of my life, and I play a lot. Course is so cool, everyone was so…read morenice and welcoming. We were there in May in the off-season when it is public. And we were allowed to bring our dogs! And basically had the course to ourselves.

Just played there today- challenging course in great shape! It's not long- 5600 from the tips, par…read more70- but lots of undulation and blind/blind-ish shots to keep you guessing. 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.

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

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*

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!

Okay - Maine residents: pay attention!! Kebo is offering amazing deals for Maine Residents this…read moresummer. Apparently- in the past, it's only been on Saturday's, but given this year's unique circumstances, they are offering it 7 days a week. We went on a Thursday morning and paid only $75 per person for 18 holes with a cart!! Kebo is a very nice course - 8th oldest in the nation and number 4 (?) on time gold courses in Maine according to Gold Digest. I am not a "good" golfer by any means, but I had a great time here and even got par on one hole! The carts are equipped with GPS to let you know where you are in relation to the hole. There was a beverage cart that came around selling snacks and drinks (alcoholic and non). Warning - the 17th hole is a site to behold! Intimidating to say the least. Legend has it President Taft got a 22 on this hole. I escaped with a 13. So - I felt pretty good! Lol!

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).

I did not want to only play there once so I stayed over at the Whitetail Inn and played a second time. Also I should mention that unlike so many courses the workers on their mowing machines would stop mowing when I was approaching till well after I hit! (Rarely done for LADIES). I know some would say it's a long way to go but believe me it is worth it!!! I should also mention it is equidistant to Orono and Bangor with an easy FAST turnpike drive ( 75 mph speed limit)....can't wait to go again!!!
