118.0. "N.E. Course/resort info wanted" by MSEE::KELLEY () Tue Jun 09 1987 16:02

    
    	I am looking for info on courses in northern N.E.
    	Does anyone have any info on any of the following
    	resort/courses? Sutton, N.H. (Country Club Of N.H.),
    	Killington VT., Straton Mt.,VT., Woodstock, VT., or
    	any other courses/resorts in the northern N.E. area
    	that have golf packages available (lodging and golf
    	at reduced rates).
    
    	Thanks

118.1Stratton InfoPLANET::STANZTue Jun 09 1987 23:3924
    I have booked a few days this July at Stratton. Got a brochure as
    an insert in Golf Digest. It isn't cheap, but....
    
    Daily rates per person run from $75-$80 midweek. This includes your
    room, a round of golf and a cart, plus club storage, a visor and
    bag tags.
    
    They have a Golf School, which is offered in a weekend package,
    or a 5 day package. 2 day weekend is $390 PPDO, and the 5 day pkg
    is about $650 PPDO. Lunch is included, plus the school, videotape
    analysis of your game (I'm too embarassed for that!), and your golf
    and cart. Meals are your responsibility on all packages.
    
    The course is supposed to be great, along with the scenery. We (mu
    wife and I) have booked the plain ol' Golf Package for 4 days midweek.
    That's all we felt we could spring for.
    
    They have 27 holes, all designed by Geoffrey Cornish. There is a
    "Lake" 9, a "Forest" 9, and a "Mountain" 9. We probably will not
    try the "Mountain" 9.............

118.2Winter KillAMRETO::RESIDEWell, I mighta gone fishinTue Jul 07 1987 15:3210
    	Hi Gene,
    
    	I have played the Country Club of NH and it has an excellent
    	layout but I've heard that they have lost most of their greens
    	to winter kill.  Another course that has lost most of its 
    	greens is Quechee.  This is an excellent resort but the conditions
    	this year are not so good.  Maybe you could keep these resorts
    	in mind for another year.

118.3Samoset in Me.MTBLUE::FREEMAN_KEVIMon Jul 13 1987 14:4711
    Checkout the "Pebble Beach" o` de Great White North aka. The Samoset
    Resort in Rockland Me. off U.S. Rte 1.  It and Poland Springs in
    the "Olden Days" train loads of "Outa Stata's" use ta come up hea!
    I guess they are more resorts than most if you trace there Heritage
    back.  There is also a new and very difficult (Narrow) course at
    Sugarloaf in Caribassit Vally (sp), it's more noted for it's winter
    skiing, but is now claiming a 4 season Resort, tennis, hiking etc.
    Samosets the better deal as you get the best of the seafood in the
    N.E. and Camden is just next door (Payton Place film site).  More
    info drop a line.    NM%RANGLY::FREEMAN_KEVI
    
118.4Old Orchard BeachNEDVAX::SNIDERLarrySat Jul 18 1987 16:536
    I'm going to Old Orchard Beach in Maine around Labor Day for 10
    days.  I've got my mirror sunglasses already packed so I'm all set
    for the beach.  I'm also going to take the clubs.  Any suggestions
    on where to play?  How are the greens fees?
