Orchard Beach, Maine:
The Old Orchard Beach area is home to over a dozen 18-hole
golf courses within 30 minutes of the famous Pier. For 125 years the Beach
has been known as the Number One family vacation destination in Maine. Its
7-mile beach, beachfront amusement park, and numerous family fun activities
have been delighting guests for generations. Today, golfers can slip out to
one of the many fine area courses, to round out their vacation with a day at
the links.
The area's most prestigious course today is Dunegrass, located just one mile
from the Pier. Designed by world-renowned golf architect Dan Maples, this
course has received rave reviews ever since it opened in 1998. This 6,500
yard, par 71 course offers bent grass from tee to green. Carved out of over
300 acres of woodlands, Dunegrass is both picturesque and challenging.
Sunset Ridge and Westerly Winds Sport Park is an exciting getaway for the
entire family. There is a 18-hole golf course, plus driving range and
putting greens for Mom and Dad. For the kids, the Sports Park offers
miniature golf, batting cages, swimming pool, tennis, basketball plus other
family amusements. Sunset Ridge can be reached at 207-854-9463 or
