Number Six Project Complete!
After completing the last of the new drainage work last week, and laying the final load of new sod on Monday, the new and improved sixth hole is now ready for action this Friday, May 28.
Anyone who played number six last season will be amazed at the transformation. While it's certainly still one of the more challenging holes at Sugarloaf, it's no longer the notorious scorecard killer thanks to wideneed approach, increased playable area around the green, and healthi

Sod project on Number 6
Those of you who have been following the news from the golf course closely this year will know that we've done a considerable amount of work on hole number 6 over the past year. We completely rebuilt all of the drainage systems, removed a large number of trees, stumps, rocks, and other debris on the right of the approach, and increased playable area on the approach by a huge amount.
With the drainage work completed last fall, we've worked to prepar

A successful Ski and Tee Weekend!
Hopefully many of you were able to get out and enjoy the back nine here at the Sugarloaf Golf Club during Ski and Tee Weeked, May 1-2. Eager golfers played more than 250 rounds over the weekend, which was the earliest date in the 25 year history of the Sugarloaf Golf Club that the course has been playable. And though the course still very much in early season condition, nearly all of the golfers we spoke with over the weekend were amazed at the shape the course was in (particularly since most

Sunny daze
I had to take my boat to Portland yesterday then I was headed up to my place by the mountain so I decided to throw my skis in the back of the truck boy I was I glad I did. I rolled out of bed this morning at 7:00 and saw the sun after a hot shower I jumped in the truck and headed over to the loaf. You gotta get up there I had the most incredable day of spring skiing. Lots of cover, nice soft snow and plenty of sun who could ask for more. Thinking about hitting it up again over the weekend. Se

Already mowing grass on the course!
No joke, the photo below was taken today, April 15, on the sixth green. Number six emerged from the winter in such great shape that our crew is already mowing it, even while we're still skiing up on the hill. This green is almost is mid-season form already, and much of that great growth can be attributed to a new, permeable tarp system that superintendant Bob Bruce experimented with this winter.

Q&A with Sugarloaf Golf Course Superintendant Bob Bruce
Last spring, newly appointed Sugarloaf Golf Club Superintendant Bob Bruce got a crash course in the challenges of running a mountain golf course. A long, harsh winter wreaked havoc on Maine’s golf courses, and Sugarloaf was no exception. Bob was up to the challenge, and the course recovered quickly,

Week in Review
Hey folks!
These last couple of weeks have been straight up glorious at the Loaf. With tons of snow and sunshine, everyone's been in snowphoria (that's right, I made up a word. Go with it). I pieced together a little week in review video to try to give you a taste of how great it's been up here...but really, you gotta be here. And with next week looking like much of the same sunshine, I'd say it's time to make use of those sick days.

Maine and Sugarloaf’s poster boy didn’t disappoint as he brought home his second gold in as many Olympics, repeating his feat achieved at the 2006 games in Torino.

Skiing's Next Generation
One of the most rewarding experiences about skiing at Sugarloaf is the extent of quality youth skiing all around us. Yes, we are always privy to youth skiing events, like the J2 Alpine races held here all week. And yes, everyday we get to watch the CVA teams that call this mountain their home. But I’m not talking about them.
Tuesday spelled one of the most perfect days this mountain has seen in years. The combination of over 5 fresh feet of new
