The word on the course.
How golfers talk about it, summarized from public reviews. Their opinions, not our scoring.
Writers consistently call Maidstone one of the few genuine links in America, charming and quirky, with imaginative small greens, diagonal tee shots, and an unforgettable run through the dunes in the middle of the round, while admitting the opening and closing holes feel softer than the heart of the course.
Consistently praised
- The dunes stretch (especially the 9th and the par 3 14th over the brush) gets called among the best holes in the country.
- Firm, weather-driven, irrigation-light turf and the diagonal angles off 6, 7, 16 and 17 reward thinking.
Worth knowing
- Reviewers agree the bookend holes are weaker, so the round is uneven by design.
Golfers recommend
- Play the angles, biting off the diagonal carries pays here while bombing does not.
- Read the false fronts before you putt, the small greens repel weak approaches.
