ISLAND FALLS, Maine — The course is getting into mid-season condition. The greens are nearing 100 percent filled in from the long hard winter and the fairways were fertilized last week. The tees have new grass, from recent overseeding, making them the best they have ever been.
Golfers from near and far are saying VaJoWa is in the best shape of any course they have played this year. Get together with your buddies and enjoy a round.
