Loon’s Cove Golf Course

Though the course is on the somewhat smaller side, this par 3 course is challenging.
Let’s speak to the cons since those are few, but still notable:
— while this is how we happened upon the course, it’s located along a main road up to Moosehead Lake
— Kind of small course, as the holes are played tight together
— The most disappointing feature of the course? You weren’t allowed to drink beer as you made your way around the holes (though you can purchase and have a drink in their main building)
Now for the fun part, the pros:
— Despite the landscape, you didn’t feel buggy – which was a fantastic departure from camping the night before
— Challenging par three; you have the Kennebec River on one side, large and small hills throughout, trees in the center, and the pond to cross
— The course feels private and relaxing, and Maine-​picturesque
— The family owners and staff are super friendly
— And the best part, it was crazy cheap: for renting four clubs, six balls, and one person to play the course and a soda, the bill came to $ 15.50. Sweet.
Tip: They accept cash or personal checks, no credit/​debit cards.
