For some reason Labor Day weekend is considered the end of golf season around northern Maine. I would like to encourage you to not put your clubs away yet. We are actually entering into some of the best golf conditions and scenery all season. If you think your time is short, come out and play nine. It will just like your own private country club. I hope to see you on the course.
