Sunday River
Sunday River is the third debut entry
from Robert Trent Jones II. The course was
overlooked in its early days, mostly owing
to its off-the-beaten-trail location in western
Maine. Consider it found.
A wider,
even more scenic version than Jones's other
Maine attraction, the 20-year-old Sugarloaf,
Sunday River is carved from dense forest
and dishes out instant variety and memorability.
Plenty of grin-inducing vistas of
the Mahoosuc Range await, including a
dandy at the 443-yard, par-4 18th. For pure
sensory overload, make an autumn visit.
