Golf
As one of Maine's most storied golf courses, the Sugarloaf Golf Club has high standards to live up to. Over the past two seasons, under the guidance of new Course Superintendant Bob Bruce, Sugarloaf has featured a renewed dedication to improving player friendliness, course aesthetics, and turf health. Sugarloaf and the Town of Carrabassett Valley have and will continue to work together closely to ensure that the golf course lives up to the high standards that golfers throughout the country have come to expect. Part of the Sugarloaf 2020 initiative will be to continue this dedication to superior course quality, and maintain Sugarloaf's ranking as one New England's premier courses.
For Summer 2011
Rebuild of hole #5
In a similar spirit to the 2010 project on hole #6 (view timeline), for the 2011 golf season hole #5 will see a completely rebuilt drainage system throughout the hole, and increased playable area thanks to new turf on the righthand corner (an area notorious for swallowing drives). Players will enjoy enhanced playability and improved turf health.
Future Maintenance Initiatives:
Sugarloaf, in collaboration with the Town of Carrabassett Valley and the Sugarloaf Greens Committee have established a future maintenance plan that will work to continue the dedication to increased playability, course aesthetics, and turf health that has been established over the past several seasons. This initiative will ensure that the Sugarloaf Golf Club maintains its sterling reputation as one of the country's premier public courses.
