Great for people with a decent sidearm shot 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Dec 24, 2010 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

This course is probably one of the oldest establishments for disc golf in the state of Maine. I started playing here in middle school and still make it down whenever i'm in the area and have time for a game.

This course has a lot of left to right swinging fairways which gives you a lot of good shots if your a sidearm player. I myself am a RHBH player and have to put a lot of anhyzer on my shots to get under on most of the holes.

The layout of the course is fantastic, making a player tap into a lot of shots and use a lot of different discs while playing, there is one hole on the back 9, hole 11 which you seem to be throwing your disc right into thick set of skinny trees, a great tomahawk or thumber hole depending on the approach you want to take to the basket.

Theres also plenty of holes to get some decent drives on including holes 1,3,10 and 18; there are also a lot of tighter long fairway shots that if you hit just right with some finesse you could eagle or birdie no problem including holes 4,5,6,7, and 9. As you can see the front nine can get tight and technical but an experienced play should have no problem taking this course down. Like I said I have played here since I was a kid and I don't get out here more then half a dozen times in the year and always average at least a -10.

Cons:

Course layout has changed a bit in the past few years, but remained relatively unchanged for a decade, so thats a pro and con depending how many times you have played this course.

There are some drainage problems on the front 9 since there is a stream that flows through the course as you zig zag back and forth across it on the front 9. As far as the front 9 though, I would just worry about the large pockets of ferns to the right of the course as you get closer to the back nine, its very swampy and hard to find any color disc as the over growth is thick in summer.

As far as the back 9 goes, concerns I have aren't many its relatively wooded and they have started to add new wood chips to the holes to take care of any mud. This is something they have been negligent about for a few years; this wrong has been corrected and it shows. Sometimes in summer time the back nine holes 16-18 can get some high grass and it wont be cut for a week or more at times causing a lot of drag on discs thrown to low or thrown on a hyzer.

Overall the course is fairly nice and well taken care of, these are just things I have noticed from years of playing at Enman Field.

Other Thoughts:

Until recent years the courses layout has been pretty much the same, having said in the last two years they have been tweaking a few things. So if you haven't played here in a years you might not remember the exact layout of the course but don't worry, for the most part there haven't been many changes besides the addition and subtraction of a few holes, i'll explain.

The past few years they tried to redesign a few holes as I just stated so the original hole one along the club house is gone, hole 2 is now hole one and as I said holes 3-4 have been added. They were also trying to expand and add more holes into the beauty, a hole A and a hole B, which you could opt out of playing if you didnt feel up to it, or just wanted the normal 18 score. With holes A and B the course became a 20 hole course; Since then holes A and B have been taken away and the format of the course has been returned to normal.

Pros:

A lot of fun holes running through a wooded forest. A few open holes for variety makes it a fun course. Management usually changes a few holes around each year, keeping it fresh and exciting.

Cons:

Maintenance can be a bit slack and some drainage problems in a few areas.

Other Thoughts:

A fun course for beginners or pros. Hole #4 up the steam is a classic hole.
