The provided scorecard has some information on the back that spells it out: Six Par 3's, Six Par 4's, Six Par 5's. Six Straight, Six Right, Six Left.

So whoever laid this course out succeeded with respect to variety. While it is largely a wooded course, hole lengths vary from 152' out to 632', with an average of 350' per hole. You're presented with a few "birdie or else" putter shots as well a some long, winding two and three-drive holes. Every variety of line from tight and straight to bending and doglegged is accounted for here as well.

The course plays through beautiful, mature Maine forest with towering trees and relatively little brush.

The shortest hole on the course features a basket on a raised mound, but that's it for elevation.

Mach II baskets catch fine but can be hard to spot in the shadows. Big red tee signs give hole number, distance and par, but nothing else. Tee pads are large raised wooden platforms with very good friction paint on them. Ample trash cans and benches.

There is a 9-hole putting course next to the parking lot that is a great warmup. It is truly a putter course with hole lengths from 20' - 50'.

There isn't much elevation out here, nor are there any creeks or ponds in play. Lacking those additional design elements places Skyriders DG just a step behind the top courses in the area.

The raised wooden tee pads work great, but are several inches up above the surrounding ground. So if you plan to run up from the back or follow through off the front you'll find them challenging.

Tee signs lack any hole diagram, and on some of the long holes you'll find yourself either walking way up or throwing blind.

The original course owner has passed away, and his wife is still on the property and will likely say hello. The course is now being maintained by some family members who turn out to be the same crew that runs the DR courses in Bangor.

1. very well maintained
2. interesting layout
3.chairs, covered trash can at each tee.
4.incredible pine tree in middle of one hole....fascinating and awe-inspiring
5. good footing on tees [slightly elevated, wood or trex construction]

Tees are shaped nicely...they COULD be about 8 inches longer, as my playing partner ran out of room on a couple of tees....I did not have that problem,,,but some folks who use a big run-up on teeing off may be affected slightly

i am looking forward to coming back to Maine again and play so more!

This course demonstrates proper use of trees. The fairways are open and have strategically placed trees that force you to make good shots. You wont have to play thread-the-trees all day like you do at many other courses.

It can get a little swampy and the tees aren't in perfect shape.
The front nine has very generous pars. I played the worst round of my life on my first time there and was still -4 halfway through.
The arrows at the tee and on various trees are not the best at navigating players through the course. Don't expect a lot until you're used to the layout.

To me this course really is the ideal mix of trees and open space. Additionally, the rough is dense and can get pretty tough to get out of. Throw smart.

tee sign's and distance are marked on wood sign's .tee pads are in good shape . the course is not done so I liked it the front 9 is not hard or easy but the back 9 is no joke !!!!! Be smart off the tee or pay for it this course well make you a better player it forces you to make shots and be safe all in one ..I well be back to play this course every year I go back to maine .. pro shop in the works

I well wait till the course is done before I write anything here

this is great course it well be around for a long time...

Just played for the first time in over a year. Have to bump my previous 3.5 rating to a 4.0

Each tee has hole information (fairway shape, hole number, par, and distance) carved into wood signs.

Every tee is now a slightly elevated wooden box. Looks/fells like sand-blasted coating which is grippy and looks/plays very well. This is a big improvement from the previous gravel tees. All 18 are the same size and are plenty big enough.

Great hole variety ranging from a few crushing drives off the tee to some controlled shots. Lines for beginners and pros.

Only $5 lets you play all day.

There are 2 baskets at the start to practice putting on.

Owner lives on site and is very friendly and helpful.

Course is very clean. Fairways are clean.

No stocked club house.

1 or 2 of the fairways have a lot of stumps and holes, which can be treacherous on the foot work when trying to reach the basket from afar.

A few soggy areas after heavy rain and in the spring. These areas are mostly avoidable.

Be careful on the long fairways that snake through the woods. Often you can see the basket from 450 ft away or more and it looks close enough to reach... until your driver tree-bounces into the DEEP rough. Play a little conservative and your score will be 3 or 4 shots better for it.

Course is in excellent shape and is a blast to play.

With Quaker HIll only 10 minutes away, these 2 courses make a great pairing for a day of golf.

I wish I had taken a few pictures of the new tees to post because they are beautiful.
