1585.0. "Help! Suggestions for golf locales this weekend" by LMOADM::MCGEEHAN () Wed Sep 02 1992 14:51

    I'm planning on taking my husband away for an overnight
    for his birthday.  We're leaving our son with family,
    so it's an opportunity for us to unwind too (#2 due in
    November).
    
    Anyway -- we're going this Friday, so time is short on
    making a selection.  Here's what I'm looking for:
    
    I want to surprise him with reservations at someplace
    that either has excellent golf on site, or nearby, and
    is within a 3 hour ride of the Worcester area.  I'm
    hoping for someplace in either NH or Maine.  We'll
    be leaving Friday by 8 a.m., but will have to be able
    to get home for Saturday by 5 p.m.
    
    Any suggestions on places that cover those criteria as
    well as having really good atmosphere, food, etc.  would
    be helpful.  Cost isn't the issue -- it's his birthday
    present to go do 18 someplace special.  It would be great
    if it is near either a lake or the ocean too.  The biggest
    limitation is the travel time.  I've read a lot of the
    notes available, but can't seem to get a handle on any
    place (except Samoset) that seems like it has all I'm looking
    for -- and Samoset is too long a ride.
    
    Any help would be appreciated.
    
    Linda

1585.1	This'll Work...	MRKTNG::VARLEY		`Wed Sep 02 1992 15:01`	8
	I'd suggest Equinox, in Manchester, Vermont. Phone # used to be (802) 362-3223 at the Golf Shop. If you stay at The Equinox - a 2 min. walk, just up the street, you get preferred times and a reduced rate. The Equinox is pricey, but FABULOUS. The course is beautiful, and there is a lot to do in the area. Course should be in perfect shape right now. --Jack

	I suggest the Queechee Club in Quechee, Vt. It has two incredible golf courses, and is located a few mile from Woodstock, which has great restaurants, and shopping, etc. It take about two hours plus to get ther from Boston. Its also up in the mountains with beautiful views all around. -Evan
1585.3	Maine= 1.Samoset 2.Sugarloaf 3.Mingo Springs(Rangly)	DNEAST::FREEMAN_KEVI	The Squeeky Wheel = Neglect	`Wed Sep 02 1992 17:29`	5
	Sable Oaks in South Portland. Though it has no water amenities it is on the grounds of the Mariot Hotel, and there is plenty of coast line, shopping,seafood etc... Your are correct about the Samoset, and Rt. 1 traffic will be a killer this coming Labor Day!!! Arrrgghhh. And so will I95 for that matter.
1585.4	Equinox or Mt. Washington	MR4DEC::DIAZ	Octavio, SME International	`Wed Sep 02 1992 18:09`	22
1585.5	Sugarbush Vermont	WYNDE::HAMEL		`Thu Sep 03 1992 16:48`	8
	Another suggestion worth considering is Sugarbush Vermont. 2.5 hours from where you are up 91 to 89. The Sugarbush Inn is a beautiful Vermont Inn, the Sugarbush Golf Course is a Robert Trent Jones Sr. course, with some of the most beautiful and challenging golf around. You can call Sugarbush Vacations directly at 800-451-4213
