Great course, amazingly well kept, clear signs, fantastic tee pads, good variety of distance. The scenery is beautiful and they clearly take pride in running a wonderful establishment, maybe a little too nice for what I'm used to in disc golf.

While the signage is great some are wildly misleading as to where the pin is in relation to the pad, but they do an excellent job of placing secondary signs to help.

This is supposed to be the easiest of the 3 18 hole courses, while some of the pars seemed absolutely ridiculous (as in too generous) I was happy to take a few "eagles and birdies" that I didn't feel deserving of. I didn't find this course any easier than the Hawk course other than a few overly generous par ratings. An absolute blast would love to come back next time I'm in the area

You can't miss the driveway into Sabattus's Disc Golf complex because it's name being on a giant decorative disc golf basket just off the road . There is a spacious parking lot here . You will check in at the pro shop , which has 2 floors , lots of merchandise , snacks, drinks and a huge selection of discs . It has to be the nicest pro shop on the east coast . The course is Pay To Play , which some will consider a pro and some will consider a con . $7 per round , and $11 to play all courses all day on weekdays and $8 per round , $12 to play all the courses all day on weekends . The man at the pro shop was very knowledgeable and nice .
The Equipment - Hawk has some large cement trapezoid tee pads .There is even some gravel around the pad in case of stepoffs and for drainage . The signs are fist class . Cement based and Ned England style wood hanging like a residence . The baskets are red banded Discatchers with flags on top to help identify them . . Next Tee helps you navigate .
The Landscape - The course was mowed and the branches trimmed when I was here . The course is also very clean . I can tell that a lot of time and money go into upkeep . the course rolls some and has some grades , but it stays level a lot . There is a creek that may come into play on the right at hole #3 but only on a poor drive . The course runs in and out of woods some , but the lanes are fair .
Amenities - There is a putting basket near the shop , tee pads and netting to warm up your drives , cool cement benches at the holes , trash cans throughout , cigarette butt cans , Woodchips in the bare spots of the fairways to soak up water runoff . the pro shop , plus the nice bathroom inside .
The Highlights - There are some holes here that shine . #3 ( 432' ) is a tunnel drive bending right to left , to another
left between trees to a clearing and the green . #7 was an oddity ( 333' ) Your drive goes uphill , then you have to descend downhill in a horseshoe shaped fairway . I would love to see how the pros played this . #9 ( 519') has an open fairway that narrows to a small green on the right
Signature Hole - Some might claim the #3 hole mentioned earlier , or #12 ( 553' ) that hugs the treeline on the right , and the green and basket sitting just into the woods . If you go too far away from the treeline and straight into the ope , your 553' hole quickly becomes a 600'+ hole . I really liked the #17 hole . It was a putter/midrange shot from the open into a little nook and to the left in the woods . It is only 177' , but the green is fun , kind of an island hole .
Disc Risk - low . even though there is some rough on the course , the grounds are so well kept that you would almost have to try to lose your disc .
Time - at almost 6500' of disc golf course , It took me about 70 minutes to play . A group of 4 will finish in around 2 hours and 15 or 20 minutes .
Make sure you bring something to drink . You won't come back around to the parking lot until you finish #18 .
This is a gorgeous piece of Maine land , and the course care makes you as a player feel appreciated . It is a popular course . I came here at 4:15 on a Tuesday and it was loaded with players on the courses .
There are no tee times to worry about . Here , it is first come , first serve basis .
How can you go wrong with a place that carriers 3 full courses and 1 kids course !!?

#1 Popularity - I am sure it can be crowded here on an evening or weekend . Make sure you are flexible on playing 1 of the other courses here .
#2 Challenge - Don't pay too much attention to the par on the scorecards . The par is to make everyone feel good when leaving ( Par 73 ) . Making a par 5 a 4 and making a par 4 a par 3 , seems to make some sense .
#3 Pay to play - The amounts that I mentioned in the Pros section was a bargain for me . I played solid for over 3 hours . Some might disagree and save the cash for a new driver . Just mentioning it .

I heard that the owner sunk well over a million dollars into this project . It is 100 acres of prime land and everything is 1st class here . They even have lessons that you can sign up for . Sabattus sets the standard for how a disc golf course should be run . Pay to Play holds the course accountable , but you see that a good amount of the money goes back into the courses . The mere fact that you can play a total of 4 different courses ( okay , 3 1/2 ) without ever having to move you car , should count for a lot . Local golf course should come here and take notes as to how to run an operation .
My Recommendation - Maybe a little too long for the family or dates . newbies will like the course because of its " friendly" pars , the intermediates to pros have enough here to work on aspects of their game . Locals should be drawn to this . A great place to throw a couple of rounds in with friends . Travelers : it's right between 2 interstates . It's not a quick play , but if you are in town or near town , this has to be a place to check out . Course Collectors . Are you kidding me ? 4 courses on 1 stop . You can get all of them in 4 hours .
This is not a destination course , but combined with everything that Sabattus has to offer , this is Truly a Destination . PLAY IT FOR SURE !!!!

This is one of three, 18-hole courses in this amazing complex, and is considered the easiest of the courses. While it falls in the middle in terms of length, it is generally more open than the other two courses so hitting gaps and shaping lines is not as critical. But don't take this to mean it is an open course because it is not. It just isn't crazy tight.

As I played I was surprised at how long some of the holes were. The holes average 360 feet, and vary greatly from 169 feet all of the way out to 646 feet. The very longest holes play out in a open field, but many of the long holes are partially or completely in the wooded area.

Generous pars give a course par of 73, which is one higher than the longer and considerably more difficult Eagle course in this same complex. Odd.

Hole shapes in the woods vary from dead straight to gentle right and left bends. There are a couple of sharp doglegs and one hole that actually plays as a full 180 degree "horseshoe". That being said the fairways are pretty generous and you'll get a lot of birdies out here if you are playing well.

Excellent concrete teepads and tee signs on every hole. I dislike the tee signs on the other two courses, perhaps because two layouts are combined onto a single sign and they are just too vague. Hawk is a completely standalone course and the hole diagrams work here.

Discatcher baskets with a bright red top band and often a large yellow flag are easy to spot and catch great. Ample benches and trashcans round out the excellent infrastructure.

This is an attractive and enjoyable course. Relaxing even. It seems to be aimed at rec level players who will appreciate the more open fairways and generous pars. I prefer the Eagle and Falcon courses in terms of challenge, variety and repeat play, but don't mind a kinder, gentler course now and then!

With a single set of teepads and basket positions there is a single setup here. But there are two other courses so not much of a ding.

Pars are very soft on this course. I suppose that the idea might be to give newish players a boost by allowing them to birdie some holes and perhaps even shoot under par overall. But you could get fooled into thinking that double-digits under par are a normal thing.

I've reviewed the other Sabattus courses previously and will repeat my observation that this is the most professionally run disc golf operation that I've had the pleasure to deal with. Maintenance is exceptional, and the total experience from check-in at the pro shop to playing the courses is absolutely top notch. If you'd like to see the pay-to-play model really working well on a large scale, Sabattus is worth a visit.

It would be interesting to see how Hawk would look as a standalone course in a different location. It has a nice variety of trees and open land, and some elevation as well. It just suffers a bit when compared to the other 18-hole courses on the property.

Of all the disc golf complexes I've visited (Highbridge, Horning's Hideout), this is by far the best taken care of. This isn't a couple courses on a guy's ranch or in his backyard. It is the sole focus of the property, and the care shows. Everything is mowed. Woodchips cover every possible wet area. The pro shop is one of the largest I've seen.

Hawk is the intermediate course. There are no unrealistic lines, but the course does not shy away from distance with five 500+ foot holes. After an opening 200-foot ace run, the second hole is a fairly open bomber that narrows to a wooded area with the basket on a slope with big rollaway potential. The elevation changes aren't huge here, but the rolling terrain is used well.

About 2/3 of the course is wooded, and it seems like most holes have the perfect number of trees. Hitting the landing area will leave you with a good look, but missing it doesn't mean you have a boring toss out to the fairway.

Tees are all concrete. The crushed gravel paths lead you through much of the course, and you won't cringe when your disc lands on them.

The tee signs (not the ones in the pictures). I hate them. They don't show the true contours of the fairway at all. Twice I finished a hole, looked around for the next tee, and realized I'd played to the wrong basket. It didn't help that the baskets don't have numbers on them. No one wants to replay a hole like that.

On two holes the designers want you to throw a horseshoe-shaped fairway and put up signs asking you not to take the shortcut straight to the basket. This feels like mediocre design, which is odd because most of this complex is very well designed.

Otherwise, there are a lot of good, fun holes, but not the really memorable ones that Eagle has.

I'm very impressed with the complex. I hope this is the future of disc golf. A land owner took a risk and is dedicating the land to disc golf and (as far as I can tell) nothing else. This was my introduction to Maine disc golf. Heck of a welcome.

This course is really pristine and manicured. The owners certainly take a lot of pride in the appearance and the diversity of shots and holes. There is something for the beginner (to help them learn), the intermediate and the advanced players. The pro shop is pretty decent.

This place gets to look like an amusement park at times its so busy. I'd also like to see a much larger putting practice area.

If you're planning a trip up to SDG, definitely make a day of it, play a few of the courses and try to find a weekday if its between Memorial Day and Labor Day to enjoy the quiet the course could offer.

The course plays through mostly flat Maine woods. The lines are fair but there is enough rough to punish errant shots, but enough gaps to offer chances for creative recovery shots. The fairways are immaculately groomed, the wooded holes are fine gravel and the open shots have nicely mowed grass. There is a nice mix of mostly technical shots and a few well placed open holes to keep things interesting.

This course has the best length variety of the courses here at Sabattus, with plenty of ace chances and some big bombers mixed in with mostly moderate lengths. There is a good balance of left and right turning holes with some creative line shaping needed.

The concrete tees are in great shape, as are the baskets. The signage is clear and easy to read with hole layouts and distance. The course flows well with no navigation issues. The complex is a model for pay to play facilities, with two other nice courses on site along with a well stocked shop and a great warmup and practice area.

There are several sharp dogleg holes that get a little repetitive at times. Some of the open holes could have used the edge of the rough and woods a little better rather than just a straightforward open hole. Some of the signage seemed a bit off on the hole shape and distance.

Beginners will find this course tough, but more approachable than the Eagle course. It isn't quite as long or tight, but it is still fairly challenging. More experienced players won't find quite as many tests here, but more variety than the tougher Eagle. This whole facility is a destination for sure, with three different levels of courses and a nice shop. The staff seemed knowledgeable and very helpful, and it's obvious that a good portion of the proceeds go to maintaining and improving the courses. The owner is planning on adding a 4th course in the next year or so.

Course in immaculate condition. On same site with another 18=hole course, 9=starter course, and well-stocked clubhouse.

Either the signs exaggerate the distances a bit, or the Maine air added 75' to my throws! Some of the turns at the holes are sharper than indicated by the signs.

The course has an excellent clubhouse, with plenty of discs, beverages, and snacks for sale and lots of outdoor seating. The tee areas have all the amenities - long-n-wide-n-flat concrete teepads, good signage, benches, trashcans, place for cigarette butts. The fairways were either low cut grass on the open holes, or fine gravel on the wooded holes. The excellent baskets were surrounded by a thick spread of mulch, and the course was a cinch to navigate - didn't even realize there was a map on the back of the scorecard. Didn't see a bit of trash anywhere.

With five holes ~200' or less, and an equal number greater than 500' in length, there is good variety in distances, from up-n-over-a-small-rise-to-a-basket-near-a-shallow-creek 169' #6, to long-n-wide-open 646' #14. The course is fairly flat, except for the holes (2,3,6,7,8) that play down towards or up from the creek, and even the elevation changes on these holes is moderate. While mostly straight shoots are needed from the tee, there will be occasion for a sharp right or left turn. Trees come into play from time-to-time, and, excluding around-the-woods right-turning number-12, the "wooded" section of the course are holes 7-13, although none of the required lines would be considered tight.

Favourite hole: 555' #2. After quickly exiting a pocket of trees, must avoid the parallel treeline to the left while not hitting a tree in the scattered perpendicular line of trees coming in from the right. The approach from the open space must clear to right-side treeline yet not be too long into the next pocket of woods, needing to dip down and to the right to reach the basket

As a single player, I had to play through a lot of different groups, and as I interacted a bit with each group, they all shared one thing in common - they all seemed to be enjoying themselves tremendously. There is a very positive/fun "vibe" at this course, with minimal/no chance to get lost or lose a disc, well-groomed tees/fairways/baskets, and fun holes offering some challenges, appealing to a wide spectrum of players.

The other reviews say it all. This course has everything you could want. The most proffessional course I have every played. And a crazy suprise that you can't miss (or believe actually exists) from the street. Only played the pro course but it was amazing. I threw almost every disc in my bag and every shot in my repertoir. I could go on and on about this course.

The proshop had everything you could need but was still kind of a turn off. It reminded me of a ball golf course in alot of ways and lost its grassroots appeal that so many courses attempt to maintain. My buddy put it best, " when did Nike start getting into disc golf?"

If doing a tour of Maine courses, this is the #1 can't miss.

The absolute BEST disc golf facility and amenities I've ever seen (500+ courses). Pro shop with discs, bags, hats, food, water, beverages. Parking lot, practice baskets, 2-18 hole courses and one 9 hole course lit for glow play. All w nice cement tees and mind blowing tee signs. Well maintained also.

Some of the longer, tougher holes are kind of 'iffy', "U" shaped fairways, and forcing putter shots off the tee to a small landing zone then a long drive from there. Expensive to play.

Combine the best holes from both 18 hole courses and you'd maybe get one of the best 10 courses in the world.
