Hello All,
Currently I am in the process of spawning a new, 18 hole professional level course in Alfred, Maine. The site is approximately 65 acres of hilly forest land with multiple large fields about 25 minutes from Portland. Currently, we are in the process of convincing a private investor (the landowner's father in law) that a course on his land would eventually be profitable enough to pay the taxes on the land. To that end I am looking for feedback from folks that live within a few hours of the location to document the level of interest. Both myself and my business partner are more than capable of designing a high quality course and have the time and money to keep it current. One of us is also a professional chef and we are planning a burger/food cart as well as a pro shop. Hole design is planned to be a mix of semi-open big D shots, short tight technical shots, and at least one hole going down an 800 - 900ft. hill backed with heavy trees and rough. We are looking at Mach V baskets but may opt for discatchers. This would be pay to play and we're looking at a cost of $4 for a single round or $7 for unlimited play for the day.
If you live in the New England area, your feedback is greatly appreciated in order to help make this dream a reality!
