Know a golfer that has everything? Give him or her a membership into Maine's most exclusive golf club. Check out the Golf Maine Passport for one of the all time greatest deals. The 2007 Passport has 32 comped greens fees at most of Maine's best public access courses, including Sugarloaf, Sunday River, The Ledges and Samoset.

What makes the Passport different is that is has virtually no restrictions other than it can't be used before 1:00 on weekends. No player fees, no blackout dates and most of the courses do not even require a cart rental. Each Passport contains 32 coupons - one for each course - and, if you played them all, ends up costing $10 per round. Even if you plan on only playing 6 - 8 times, the Passport is a money saver as the total value of the greens fees exceeds $1300.

Besides saving some coin, the Passport will also allow its owner to check out some courses he may have overlooked in the past like Sanford, the Links at Outlook, Fox Ridge or Highland Green.

Only 60 Passports are sold each year and 35 of the 2007 batch have already been reserved (most by golfers who had the 2006 version) so this is the time to act.

In the past Golf Maine has sold Passports to spouses, children of golfers and astute employers as well as businesses that use them to reward customers and prospects.

Plus, it fits perfectly in a stocking.

Just got word that a couple Maine courses are scheduled to re-open tomorrow. Nonesuch River in Scarborough ($25 to walk and $35 to ride) and Toddy Brook in North Yarmouth ($29 to ride) tell me they'll be open and the Links At Outlook in South Berwick also has tentative plans to open as well.
