Schoodic Scramble 2017 (September 9) is only months away! We should be fielding a stronger than ever team from Massachusetts, Maine, and Washington.

 Maine Blackfly report

Local Courses:

Bucksport  - Inexpensive nice 9 hole course, I usually make the longer drive to play here, and the ladies behind the grill are super!   207-469-7612

Blink Bonnie (Sorrento) - forget the fairways, enjoy the scenery, and learn to love those oh-so-slow greens.Friday morning might be reserved for members but otherwise should be open for play. Leave green fees in envelope if no one there. Wednesday nights have traditionally been an open scramble starting at 5 I believe (at 4 later in the year).
                                           9 holes       207-422-3930

Grindstone (Winter Harbor) - incredible scenery, but Blink Bonnie-like fairways, bring extra balls. 9 holes  Grindstone review    207-963-7760

Bar Harbor GC (Trenton) - how do you play the 18th? Nice course but lousy sand traps. 18 holes   207-667-7505
