This 18-hole course is located on private property just off of the main (Maine?) road to Acadia National Park. So if you're in the area to visit the park, this is your best bet for a quick round of disc golf.

This is a remarkably short course, with an overall average hole length of 225'. If you remove the three "long" holes (1, 14 & 18) the average length drops to just 187'! This is primarily a short, technical course that is full of fun ace-runs and "birdie-or-die" type holes. There are ace boards at many of the tees and it is clear that the locals hit aces regularly. I drove many of these holes with putters, and most of the rest with midranges. The three longer holes noted above do allow you to air it out a bit.

Despite the short holes lengths I found this to be a fun and challenging course. The short holes are all heavily wooded, requiring that you hit specific lines and gaps to get to the baskets. If you do so birdies are very gettable. But there are ample trees to stop your disc or knock you well off line.

There is a good variety of straight fairways mixed with sweeping right/left and dogleg right/left fairways. Many holes have alternate lines to the left or right, which I found unintentionally a few times...

Hole 5 is a sharp dogleg left that requires you to clear a mando on the left side just before the corner, but come inside of a second mando to the right as you curve around the dogleg. The shape makes it tough to get to the pin for a look at two, but I enjoyed trying.

Hole 12 is a blind drive over a small rise to a downhill basket placed next to a tiny little pond. The pond is no more than 15' across and shallow, but I'll bet it has collected a few discs. There is a long pole next to it for retrieval purposes.

Hole 14 is the standout, teeing from an elevated area, playing through a "goal-post" double-mando and over a thick group of pines into a blind landing area. The landing area is large enough to let you rip this blind drive hard through the mando and then go figure out where you landed.

Tee pads are mostly mulch on natural ground, though holes 1, 2 and 18 feature wooden platforms that are large and flat. I saw several more platforms stacked in the parking lot so more may be in the way.

Tee signs are simple wooden boards with hole number, distance, and par only. They've seen better days but are better than nothing. There are enough next-tee arrows on trees to guide you easily through the course, though they can be tough to spot.

This is a short, technical course with a lot of trees. Not a place that I would recommend bringing the family for a first-time DG experience.

The natural teepads are lumpy and bumpy and often contain roots or rocks. Most of the holes are short enough to allow stand-and-deliver drives or an abbreviated run-up, but footing is tricky on many of the tees.

The signage is minimal and rough. Often it is a simple board on the ground near the tee with hole number, length and par. They could use some freshening up.

Speaking of tough to spot, the dark galvanized baskets are practically invisible on many of the shaded holes. Even on short holes I found myself walking up some to make certain I knew where the baskets were.

The ground over most of the course is full of exposed roots, stumps, rocks, little gullies, etc. You have to watch your step to avoid turning a knee or ankle. I suggest boots.

Most Maine courses are pay-to-play. Some are set up as true businesses with pro-shops, attendants to pay, scorecards, etc. This is not one of those courses. You simply park next to the owner's house, push your money through a mail slot in the door, and play your rounds. There is a bit of information posted about local leagues, but nothing at all to get you oriented regarding the course.

Great location for this course, one turn off of Route 3 on your way to Mount Desert Island.
All the tees were marked with signs listing distance and par. They were all mulched and level, for the most part. All baskets were in good shape with one hanging basket.
There was a line to throw on all the holes, most were in the woods with the last few in the open, across their mowed field.
There were some really fun holes to play, 7,9,10-14 and 18. Not too many bad holes. Most were short, technical holes, but had two holes over 450 feet.

Soggy ground. Being in coastal Maine, they get a lot of water. They've done their best with some homemade boardwalks and log walkways. The day I played, they had just had two days of rain, so I'm guessing it was wetter than normal. That said, it was mainly a problem on the first 8 holes, then 9-14 go up onto the rocky hillside and 15-18 were in the open, just wet grass.
Mosquitoes - you need to bring bug spray.
No course map. The next tee signs were very good and nearly made this a non-issue. But I like to have a course map when I play a new course, even if it's on this site, so I can print it before playing.

Overall, I had a good, fun time on this course, especially once I got up on the elevated holes. 12-14 were a great set of holes, almost overlapping each other. Downhill right, uphill, then long downhill left. Nice to finish on a few open holes, so that you can air a few out during your round.
The best thing about Hapana is the location. Just a couple of miles north of Mount Desert Island, with the tourist meccas of Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor. I was there with the family on vacation, and was able to get in an early morning round and back to the resort before they woke up.
There is no longer a sign on Route 3 marking the course. I understand they had some undesirables showing up and just want locals and serious DGers playing. Turn at the street sign for Hapana Way, just north of the airport.

fun hill top holes
freshly mowed long field holes
challenging pinball tree lined holes

mostly shorter par 3s
rough, wood chip/tree root tees
no scorecard
no clubhouse (atleast was locked when i played)
little hard to navigate
no hole map
only one bench for resting
overflowing trash/recycling

Tee boxes are only wood chips with rocks/ roots sticking up. Not a problem really for me, but maybe older players or kids may have a stumble or two. A little hard to navigate first time through, put on your eagle eyes and you'll see little signs that mark the way to next hole, but would be nice if they were not brown/green and a color that stood out more from the trees. Note: 1st tee is on hill to front left of building. No hole layout maps, but most aren't too long so a short walk will let you know where you're aiming. Some fun holes, such as throwing to top of hill with basket resting upon a large rock. Another tee on top of large rocks on top of a hill where you sail disc over treetops below. A couple open field holes let you really test your distance,especially hole 18. No scorecards so use one you've got kicking in your bag from a previously played course, or contact me, i made one using distances I wrote down from tee signs (had to guess on hole 6, sign was missing). All par 3s except hole 14 (par 5). As one of the few options near Bangor I enjoyed it. The cons are easily overcome. I am sure I will be back since I work near here.

Fun course with a huge variety of holes. Heavy woods to open fields, lefts, rights, up-hill and down-hill, the course keeps you guessing from start to finish.

Overall the course emphasizes accuracy over power; roughly half are in the 200' range, but the foliage makes it significantly harder to get the perfect shot. There are a handful that let you really drive though.

The course would definitely benefit from some scorecards with a map, as there are a couple of pretty confusing areas.

Do a tick check when you get home, this is a heavily wooded area and the locals say they do occasionally see them here.

Definitely helps to follow some locals around for your first round. Tee areas are generally flat beds of wood chips, and are marked with wood placards showing hole number, distance and par (but no map).

For $3 per round or $5 per day it's really not a bad course, but at the same time, most of the free courses I've played are better groomed and maintained, so it would be nice if they put a little more work into the upkeep.

The course has huge potential, it's in a great location, and is the only course in the Trenton/Bar Harbor/ Ellsworth area. If the owners would put just a little more energy into the course it could be a real solid course.
