Golf in Saco

Saco is a York County city on the Saco River, industrial twin to Biddeford across the water and southern neighbor to Old Orchard Beach on the Atlantic shore. The city's history parallels Biddeford's — water-powered mills on the Saco drove a textile economy for generations, and the waterfront mill buildings remain as landmarks in the downtown. The Saco River's tidal estuary, Saco Bay, and the sandy beaches of Camp Ellis add a coastal dimension to a primarily inland city identity. Three golf courses serve the Saco area: Biddeford Saco Country Club's traditional 18, Deep Brook Golf Course's compact nine, and Dunegrass Golf Club's distinctive links-influenced layout on the coastal plain near Old Orchard Beach.
