After learning we had regained the number one spot on the 2012 Golfweek Best in State rankings, I decided to take a little hike out on The Wilderness at Fortune Bay this afternoon.

Sunny skies and temps in the upper 50s are doing a pretty good job of melting snow on the course. Our golf course general manager Tom Beaudry says we are on schedule to open in about a month, which would be a new record.

Advanced bookings are way ahead of the past few years and many summer weekends are already sold out in the resort. If you are looking for a specific time to visit this season, it would be wise to call now (800-992-4680).
