Sometimes, a course’s history speaks for itself…
When you tee it up at the Poland Spring golf course, you are playing on the same turf where Babe Ruth, Walter Hagen, Bobby Jones, Harry Vardon, President Taft, Jim Gallagher, Sonny Liston and many more celebrities have played.
The first 9-holes were originally designed by Arthur Fenn (the first American-born professional golfer and course architect) and then Donald Ross of Pinehurst Fame would redesign the course to an 18-hole championship course.
Fenn’s wife Bessie was also the first woman professional at a golf course. You get the idea, if you’re into the history of the game as well as the play itself, this just might be a “must-play” (or at least visit) course for you as well.
And with views like these:
you can see there’s more than just history to this course as well…
