Cape Arundel or Cape Neddick?
« on: July 25, 2007, 04:31:58 PM »
I'll be in Ogunquit next week-end on the coast of Maine, and I am hesitating between these two courses....

Cape Arundel, by Walter Travis
or
Cape Neddick, by Donald Ross (1st nine) and Brian Silva (Back nine)

Any thoughts or comments on any of these two courses and which one I should play?  I am thinking Cape Arundel.... Unless someone changes my mind....

Thanks.

I have played Cape Neddick a bunch and Cape Arundel only a few times......I would probably play Arundel.  Usually in good shape and views of the sea

Cape Neddick is a great course though....the small Ross greens on the front are really fun...the back is different...more hills and big greens.  No seaside views, but you can feel the breeze on some shots.....a great drive up to club though by taking the ocean road.

10 plays, Cape Arundel 9.5, Cape Neddick, 0.5, the Ross holes only.

Cape Neddick isn't bad for the Ross completist, or for someone in the area that has played everywhere else, but Cape Arundel is much more fun and noteworthy in every way.

Cape Arundel by a longshot-You might even see an ex or present US President on the course.

On this weekend of the 4th Somewhat Annual Maine GCA Outing (which is typically attended by 2 GCAers!) our host has the audacity to attend his brother's wedding as the Best Man! Where are the priorities!?

Also never played Cape Neddick, but Cape A is special!

I haven't played or seen Cape Arundel since I was 9 when I went to Maine on a vacation.  I have faint memories of rolling open land, chocolate drop mounds, and a routing through mucky coastal waterways at low tide.  I would love to get back out there and see it again.  Does anyone have any photos?
