321.0. "Golf Weekends?" by SCENIC::BYRNE () Wed Jul 06 1988 12:57

    
    Does anyone out there know of any good golf weekend packages 
    in New England?  I've found a few, but I would like to hear
    first hand.  I would like to keep the price to under $100/day
    per person, and I really like scenic picturesque golf courses.
    
    Thanks.

321.2Try golf in MaineRANGLY::STEVENS_JIMWed Jul 06 1988 19:5011
    Call Sugarloaf Golf Course in Carrabasset Valley, Maine...I'm not
    sure of the weekend prices, but if you want a VERY challenging course
    that is picturesque, Sugarloaf is the one...
    
    The number is <207>237-2000.. That's the Golf Course number...They
    can tell you about package deals....

    I'm more into picturesque golf courses that are in really
    good shape than VERY challenging ones.  I have an ego
    to massage you know.
    
    p.s.  I broke 90 for the first time last weekend!!!

321.4Go for it !RANGLY::STEVENS_JIMThu Jul 07 1988 19:2718
	At Sugarloaf, the fairways are narrow, the roughs are 3-6 inch's
    but all the greens are the same...
    
    	The only problem I had was losing balls....I use to slice (Ok,
    so maybe I still do a little) and the woods are right there...Some
    of the holes are absotuly buetiful...Number tweleve's tee is up
    on a ridge, overlooking Carrabasset River (maybe 30 feet wide) to
    a green with 2 bunkers. Par 3, 200 yards...
    
    	Sugarloaf is a really challenging course and fun.. It was rated
    in the top 100 of the country by Golf Digest, and it's only been
    open for about 3 years...
    
    Try it, you'll like it...
