Review: Kebo Valley Golf Club

Overview
Arguably the most popular course in the area, Kebo Valley is a traditional links style course and has the distinction of being the 8th oldest course in the country. The course is in pristine condition in the summer months and features undulating fairways with medium sized greens. The signature characteristic of this course is it's stunning scenery as it winds through the Kebo Mountain Valley. Don't expect any ocean views on this course, but be prepared to be equally fascinated by beautiful mountains in nearly every direction. Green fees approach $100 in the summertime for 18 holes so be prepared to spend some cash.

Is this Course for You?
If you have the room in your travel budget, and don't mind an occasion wait, Kebo's advantages of excellent conditions, premier facilities, and historic character make it an ideal choice for the avid golfer looking to experience a great Maine golf course. The course has an upscale feel and as such, appropriate dress is required (no jeans, cut-offs, or t-shirts).

Alternatives
If you are just looking for a less expensive place with the same quality level of golf but a more laid back atmosphere check out the Bar Harbor Golf Course in Trenton. The course is equally challenging but offers green fees less than half of what Kebo charges.

Kebo is a very popular course in the summertime. Preferred tee-times (8am-12am) should be made two weeks in advance at a minimum especially if there is more than two of you in your group. You have a decent chance of getting on the course with little wait after noon time if you're a single.
