Caribou Country Club will open for the season on Friday and Aroostook Valley Country Club opened yesterday.

AVCC has  all 18 holes in play, golfers will face temporary greens on five holes, 9,11,12,13 and 16.

The club pro Steve Leitch said the course wintered about the same as it usually does.

Caribou Country Club pro Jeff Jose said his course weathered the winter quite well.

“The greens are in decent shape and the course has dried out better than most of last summer, said Jose. “We will have all greens in play to start the year and hopefully carts being used opening day.”

Jose said the club is busy preparing for their first tournament of the year, The Dave Whitmore Memorial Scramble on Sunday, May 27.

Presque Isle Country Club opened on Sunday at noon, with nine holes in play.
