Its Course Said to Be One + the Best in
Maine.
One of the institutions which has con-
tributed greatly to the popularity of Cam
den, Me-, as a summer resort, is the Me-
gunticook Golf CLUB, which was organized
in 1899.
The clubhouse is located in picturesque
region near Lily pond and the bay, and is
near the highway which leads to beautiful
Beauchamp point. The structure is modest
in external appearance, but is furnished in
coy luxury, and is the scene of many de-
lightful social gatherings in the summer
season. The main front of the building is
30 feet long, but its piazzas represent an ex-
panse OF 266 feet, and from them are to be
obtained as fine view of ocean and noun
tain scenery as the coast provides.
The main assembly room is 33X37 feet
There is ladies' parlor 34X24 feet, and a
reading room 19x22 feet. The apartments
are so arranged that they may be thrown
into one, making a fine dance hall, which is
made particularly acceptable by the hard
wood floors. The house is provided with
large open tireplaces built of field stone
The building was erected two years ago and
cost about $4,000.
The golf course is the finest in that part
of the State. 1t is nine-hole course, with
fine natural hazards.
The club has four tennis courts, and is
well equipped for other athletics.
The president is Channcey Keep, a
chicago golf expert, and one of the pioneer
summer colonists at Camden. The other
