I was scheduled to tee off for 18 at 9:24am with a twosome. I went to check in, and Matt tells me im going out solo, the twosome never showed up. I go outside to the tee box, and 2 guys are teeing off... They see me, and cone to ask what my tee time is... I tell him, and they say they have the 9:15am tee time and drive off.
I went inside to ask Matt if there was a twosome ahead of me, and he said no one is ahead of you... I tell him about the twosome with the 9:15am tee time, and he tells me its probably the guys I was supposed to play with, that they never checked in...
I asked if there was something that could be done so I didn't have to wait behind them all round, and instead of fixing the issue, he offers to refund my money...
I told him I would play 9 and see if the two golfers in front of me had any type of etiquette, aka let faster players play through, especially when you're a group of 2 and a solo golfer is there sitting right behind you waiting for you to hit and move on...
As usual, they didn't have any...
Not sure why letting people play through is such an anomaly here in Aroostook County... any reputable course enforces this so that everyone enjoys themselves, not just the friends of the guy who works there... slow play isn't the norm, this is a gentleman's game, not an entitled members game on a public course...
Now, if I wouldn't have checked in as a guest, I probably would've had the cops called and been removed from the property. When a member does it directly in front of a guest, I was basically told, "oh well, either deal with it or take a refund.
Thankfully he gave me a refund for the back 9 and I was able to leave...
In closing, if you're going to be a public course, make sure to treat members and guests the same, as they are both paying customers looking to enjoy themselves. Stop treating guests as if they aren't as important as members, sometimes guests are checking out your course to see if a membership is the right fit...
For people who don't like slow play and/or people with zero golf etiquette, this is not your course...

The food is absolutely delicious! I did not golf, but that is on my bucket list. Moved here from Washington State, Seattle area. So, finding good food has been a bit hard because most of it here is pizza lol. Would definitely recommend for a nice lunch woth friends or put of town family. Staff was so kind and helpful.

Went to their restaurant on opening day. The calamari, peppered steak and stuffed shrimp were delicious. Beer, wine and spirits are available, always a plus. Service with a smile, also a plus. We now have a new place to eat.
Update: We went there again. New menu. Lots of options. The food was delicious. The wine was good, the cocktails, delicious. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. Another happy visit.

Fairways are in good shape with interesting rolls and features. Greens were generally good except for a few still growing in from winter kill. Overall a fun track with a few holes that play better after a few times around.
