The Hawk Course will probably be your most scenic, but they are all great!

This might be our personal favorite due to its proximity to where we live! Close to Freeport and Gray, Pineland Farms is the perfect place to peep some leaves while you enjoy playing one of the courses. It’s set in a farm environment, with three beautiful 18-hole courses.
The Patriot is Pinelands Pro course with challenging and fun obstacles to conquer along the course.
