Sunday River

The course is worth the money and drive from Portland.

Another wonderful day at Sunday river golf course, Beautiful early September afternoon, Fairways & greens in very good condition. Course green and lush . Got around in 3:45 min . Staff friendly as always. Already looking forward to my next round at Sunday River GC !

The course is in fantastic shape. The fairways were in great shape. The undulating greens were fast rolled nice. All the holes are different with different challenges. You have lots of opportunities to donate a few balls which I did. Outstanding views on all the holes.

The tees at most holes were in ok shape. A few tees are not level and had bare spots but overall it was acceptable.

The greens were in decent shape but running slow, probably around 8 / 8.5 on the stimp meter. The bunkers need lots of work. Just not enough sand.

Fairways had many bare spots on most holes but also acceptable. The course was wet even though we didn’t have any rain for 2 days before we played.

We teed off at 930 and played in 4 hours 15 minutes, not bad for a mountain course. It’s a good course for under $100, we paid $95. I wouldn’t pay over $100 even on weekends. Afternoon rounds are under $80, weekday.

So if you can play for under a $100, do it.

This was more than a round of golf. It was an experience. The course was in fantastic condition, and the balance between challenging yourself and playing it safe was obvious with each shot. The risk reward is so much fun. Each hole offers incredible views and am excited to return again and again. Highly recommended.

What a beautiful course! The views are amazing (I wish I could day the same about my game...lol). The course was in great shape. Tee boxes are level and very nice. Some of the views are spectacular. The fairways and greens are in great shape. The grass is long in the rough which I found out a few times but a great challenge. We will be back in a month and play the course a few times again. We played the course in 3 hours and 20 min. We... we'll I should say I donated a few balls to the woods as a token of my appreciation...lol She did not and let me know it. I would definitely recommend the course.

Sunday River golf club is one of the best courses that I've played in the state of Maine. The scenic views are amazing and would be a YouTubers delight. I played 18 holes with my son and never ran into one other golfer on the course. The way this course is set up every hole is very secluded. The fairways are like taking divets out of Moon Sand with luscious well maintained Short Grass on top. With the high altitude layout of the course, I was hitting my golf balls about 20 yards further than I do on the lower altitude courses that make up most of Maine. We had such an amazing time and the staff was very friendly I would recommend to everyone!

Sunday River Golf Club is a beautiful and challenging course that was in excellent condition during my visit. The fairways were lush, and the greens rolled well even though they had recently been verticut. Every hole is very picturesque, making for a memorable round. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful, especially the young guy managing the carts and driving range. My only critique is that the small range bucket felt a bit skimpy for the price charged. Overall, though, it’s a fantastic golf experience that I’d highly recommend.

My wife and I played this course while in the area. It was a wonderful course. The views are amazing and beautiful. The course was in great shape and greens rolled good.

The young man behind the counter was very nice and told us a little ins and outs of the course.

Overall a great time.

The staff at the golf club exemplifies excellence, much like the breathtaking mountain vistas. Each hole on the course provides a panoramic view of the Maine mountains, complemented by the staff's friendly smiles and gracious welcomes. The greens are meticulously maintained, and the fairways demonstrate a commitment to exceptional care and grooming. This course is a top recommendation for visitors to Maine, and the beautiful deck offering 19th hole refreshments is a perfect spot to unwind and take in the view.

First time playing at Sunday River. Course is wonderful and the views are beautiful. One of the nicest courses I’ve played on. Great experience!!!

1st time playing the RIVAH…and can’t wait to go back!

Coming from Pinehurst I was thoroughly impressed with this course, the staff, and the course design. I have played a lot of courses and this was one of the most enjoyable experiences I have ever had on a golf course. Can’t beat the views on every single hole! Overall highly recommend! Only thing to know ahead of time is you may not have cell phone service much which in my opinion was a great thing.

There's a good reason this is rated the best course in Maine - it has spectacular views, challenging holes and great staff.

Had high expectations for this place and disregarded previous reviews. We show up and get charged $150, not a huge deal playing a “top” course in the state on a Sat AM. Also they charge you $7 for 20 golf balls if you want to get a warm up in.

Holes 1-5 had just been aerated, no one at the course could give actually tell me when they were punched, but that they should be good in a week or so.

Holes 6-18, ok nice no punches and we can finally start rolling the ball. NOPE, these things are some of she shaggiest greens I’ve played on all year, running equivalent to a semi tightly mowed fringe area.

Fairway grass was border line first cut rough at other premier courses in NE. It’s too bad cause the layout is nice, but the property the course sits on is way too big. Which does cause major headaches when trying to get mowers out to certain spots of the course.

Then you finish your round and try to grab a bite to eat and a couple drinks you’re in another $70. I think it’s $12/$13 for a Maine Lunch & $23 for a turkey club (before the bacon!). Servers were great and attentive though.

Do what you want with that info, as someone who plays 100+ rounds a year. This place definitely ain’t “it”’
