Lucerne Golf Course

I highly recommend a round of golf at Lucerne Golf Course in Dedham, Maine. Played it on a quiet and rainy day, the owner David was kind to let me out. The course was plush and natural. Not overly manicured which fit the Donald Ross design beautifully. Holes 4 and 5 are special. You cross the street over looking Phillips Lake to an elevated tee box par 4. The second shot has an elevation drop to a small green tucked into the woods. Youre definitely not out of the woods around that green until you put the ball in the hole. Once you settle it in there and put whatever score you got down, hole number 5 invites you to throw it all away and just play golf. This dog-leg par 4 is golf in its essence. You are playing target golf but woven in there is a touch of forgiveness and splendor of rolling fairways and sharp drop offs beyond and to the left of the green. It was phenomenal and a true honor to play. Thank you Lucerne G.C.!

Challenging course. Not a level shot anywhere. This one makes me humble. Definitely going back for more.

Very scenic golf course. Couple of challenging par 5's. Designed in the 20's so kind of a historic course.

Greens were in good shape but fairways are very rough, bumpy and not mowed down. The people are great. Tough course, uphill or downhill shots.
