Course

Although the routing at Wilson Lake includes five parallel holes, the uphill and downhill nature of their path from the clubhouse to the lower points of the property demand second shots of varying lengths. The 153-yard, par-3 second was described in a 1935 Maine golf guidebook as “one of the prettiest one-shotters in Maine,” playing “from an elevated tee across a deep gully with woods close to the fairway on either side.” 

It remains so today, though it might not seem so on the second loop when it commences at the back tee, 218 yards from the pin. On your second tour while playing eighteen, four of the holes employ back tees and present an opportunity to improve on the shots that were subtly affected by uneven stances or sneaky movements to the putting surfaces.
