Pros:
I would describe Burnsboro as an "old-school" technical par 3 woods course. And there is nothing wrong with that- I love playing this style. This is a no frills, standard and straight-forward, 18 baskets in the woods on somebody's private property that is open to the public to play for $5/round.
In the midst of a week-long trip playing many much tougher courses in MA and ME, this provided for a nice change of pace of calm, shaded, relaxing, chill golf that did not require too much thinking, just trying to shape the correct lines through wooded fairways.
Fairways were well-maintained, offered generous lines, and it was always clear where to throw. Navigation was easy and intuitive, no map needed. Baskets were older but were easily seen and weren't horrible at catching putts (actually did better than I thought they might based on how they looked). Tee signs were small, but informative, helpful, and are all that is needed here. I believe each hole had two tees (at least most did that I remember seeing).
Decent shot shape variety one would expect from having to throw around trees, a good bit of straight, but some curves and some with room to work. Some elevation on a few holes including two fun downhill finishing holes on 16 and 18. Nothing epic, but a few holes played across/along a couple ponds adding the water element (chance of losing a disc is possible).
Ample parking, courteous staff, a real restroom that was very clean and even had a shower. Scorecards and pencils were plentiful. I appreciate the work done here and the overall vibe.
Cons:
This is likely by design as strictly a par-3 course, but it does not have variety in hole length overall. [From the LONG tees] only a couple holes are over 300', and the majority are in the 200-300' range.
Not overly challenging. If I lived in this area I would not mind playing this course multiple times or having it in my regular rotation, but I would not desire to play it as much as some of the others (Sabattus, Ackers, Augusta, Bittersweet, plus all the others I didn't get to play that look amazing.)
Baskets- yeah, a bit smaller than the modern norm, but were sort of an equalizer balancing out the shorter lengths (looking back at my stats I shot -2, yet had seven 2-putts).
Other Thoughts:
Burnsboro is likely not the reason one travels to this part of Maine to play disc golf, but I am glad I played it. Most of us have likely played several courses like this one across the country (the reason for my rating of 2.5+ or slightly above average). And if I didn't know where I was, I would have thought I was in my home state of TN, so I felt right at home playing here.
Easy to get to using Google Maps GPS (a long rural gravel driveway ends at the course). Bonus also of being near several other courses.
