Eagle Lake Road Bar Harbor, ME 04609 p: 207.288.3000 This is the 8th oldest course in the U.S. The terrain is hilly and the greens are small. This course was designed with the Scottish links-style in mind. Nine holes were built on open meadows at the foot of the mountains. The wind frequently comes into play, so proper club selection becomes an important part of the game. The signature hole is #8, a 435-yard, par 4, requiring a tee shot up a dogleg left fairway, then an uphill approach shot to the green. In addition, a creek meanders down the entire left side of the fairway, and the green is sloped from back to front. Walter Hagen played this course in the 1920's and rated this hole amongst the toughest eighteen holes he had ever played. "Golf Digest" rated this course as the 4th "Best Public Course" in the state for 1996. In addition, "GOLFWEEK" rated it 100th among "America's 100 Best Classical Courses" for 1997. |
