Summer & Fall: Fall is one of the best seasons in Maine to enjoy a round of golf. As the weather cools and the crisp air arrives, this is the perfect time to get out there. With over forty golf courses in the state there are plenty of places to choose from no matter where you are coming from. Take advantage of the dwindling summer crowds and plan to hit the links! One of the most stunning oceanside courses in the state is the Samoset Resort in Rockport. With sweeping views of the Atlantic this is not only a challenging course but very scenic which is why visitors from all around come to Maine to play here. With seven holes that run along the rocky coast of the Atlantic, Golf Digest voted it one of the best courses in the state for 2007-2008. A perfect way to spend a day is to book an early tee time, play 18 holes and then take some time to enjoy the outdoor patio at the Clubhouse Grille. Because of the Samoset’s location you could take some time to explore either Rockland or Camden as the resorts sits between both of these great coastal towns. Another great place to play in the Fall is Sugarloaf. The mountains surround you offer spectacular views of the fall foliage. Located in scenic Carrabassett Valley, Sugarloaf Mountain is not just for winter skiing fun. Both Sugarloaf and the Samoset are known as New England’s two top premier golf destinations. Sugarloaf also offers a fantastic golf school for those of you who want to brush up on your technique. The course is rugged and challenging and the views especially from the 11th hole are breathtaking as it overlooks the whole valley. The Grand Summit Resort offers great accommodations if you plan on staying and the nightlife is just as fun during the summer months as in the height of ski season. Take some time this fall and enjoy a round of golf at one of Maine’s finest courses.
