A fun and challenging course for Norway and Oxford Co. 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Nov 6, 2012 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

Creative Recreations is a well designed maze of fairways utilizing old logging land on a moderately steep hillside. Don't let this land's logging history deter you though. The fairways are maintained, grassy, and well defined from the thick surrounding forest.

The course has a great mix of line shaping requirements due to the varied terrain and good design. One legitimate two drive hole ( a legit par 4) accompanies a number of, "Am Par 4's" which play more like 3.5's for +900 rated players.

Cement tee pads, signs for each hole, and directional signs for the next basket all add to the course. No substantial walkouts except for after hole 18.

Cons:

A few holes have rough ( woods) a bit too close to baskets (5,17,18). The baskets are aging Discatchers which are occasionally crooked. Hole nine is not ideal and is the weekest of the tweeners in my opinion.

Other Thoughts:

Like most Maine courses pars are geared to ametures. The Pro Par is 55 (says me). Contact me if you plan to play here as it is my home course and I'll give you a tour!

Pros:

A nice change from most courses. The front 9 holes are climbing up the mountain, which is good for us old farts.
A few nice, interesting holes.

A lot of potential here.

Give it a try, worth the trip

Cons:

A bit to wet, to often, but hey this is Maine, and between the snow, rain and fact that this course is on a mountain, it's going to be wet.

Other Thoughts:

A nice course that doesn't get noticed by folks.

Give it a try.
