SUNDAY RIVER NOW OPEN FOR 2009!
We couldn't be happier to report that Sunday River opened as planned on June 5th for the 2009 season. Our tee sheet was FULL right out of the gate-- a lot of pent-up demand to play Robert Trent Jones Jr.'s "mountain golf masterpiece"! We've gotten some very positive reports on the work that Superintendent Dave D'andrea and his crew did to get the course playing for the '09 season. Sunday River is open for 2009! Are you on the tee sheet?
The Lens of Larry Lambrecht
Early in October, we brought in professional golf photographer Larry Lambrecht to capture Sunday River in all its Autumn glory. Larry has shot courses all over the world-from New England to the Emerald Isles. His work is outstanding, and of the dozens of great pictures he took, we have compiled selected those we feel are the highlights. Click on the hole number below to see the image!
