Pros:
COURSE: Ackers Acres is home to 36 holes of just about the nicest wooded courses I have ever played. I will try to avoid some redundancy from my review of the Twisted course, because many of the features here are the same between the 2 courses.
Same- Serene, clean, perfectly maintained. Good challenge but not overkill making it enjoyable for all skill levels. Standard shot shaping past trees through distinct and reasonable fairways. Tees, baskets, signs, navigation all fantastic.
Different from Twisted- Length- nearly 1000' longer, but really most of that is on holes 4 & 6 of 700' and 600'. The finishing stretch of 16-18 offered a nice closing challenge (compared to the couple short birdie opps on the other course). Other than that, individual hole length is reasonable and within the same range and variety as the other course. (so it is not that wicked, you are not having to play 9000' through dense woods up steep elevation!)
Also different is that Wicked is pretty flat (compared to the elevation found on some of the Twisted holes).
And just to be clear, this was 18 completely separate holes from Twisted, nothing shared or overlapping.
COMPLEX: Place was easy to find, ample parking, portable toilets throughout the round thoughtfully placed to be accessed from several holes. $10/day was very reasonable and they deserve every dollar as it is evident the fees are put into making the courses great.
Worker was extremely hospitable and helpful. At one point she happened to be nearby and saw we were searching for my drive, so she stopped what she was doing to help me look for my disc...and she found it (on the grassy fairway of course and not in the rough where I thought I had shanked it- doh!)
Close to several other really good Maine disc golf complexes. This part of the country is loaded if you are willing to pay ~$10/day.
Cons:
This is kind of a weird one, but the names Twisted and Wicked do not at all describe this place. I am sure it is all in the name of being silly (I guess), but it actually might send the wrong message, so don't be fooled- this place is family friendly and the courses are not extreme in either challenge or terrain. (*I played a "wicked/twisted" course that met that description on my Maine trip- it is called Bittersweet Ridge South, and there are a couple others in this area that offer major challenge if that is what you are seeking.)
Given par is a bit on the generous side, but no biggie.
Other Thoughts:
Wicked is definitely the tougher of the two Ackers courses, but my total score on it was only 2 shots more than on Twisted earlier in the day. That just to say both courses can be enjoyed by most any skill level, and are ideally suited for the intermediate level golfer.
You will not find a nicer pair of wooded courses anywhere. This place was pristine, serene, and just made for a relaxing couple rounds of disc golf.
