The Men's Bucket League is a weekly 18-hole golf league held at Province Lake Golf Course. The league runs from late April through the season, with sessions typically held on Wednesday mornings at 10:00 AM. The format is a reverse shotgun start with two teams per tee box. Players play their own ball (no scramble formats) in a betterball/buckets league format where teams compete against each other. The maximum handicap allowed is 30. Entry is open to members and non-members (guests). Non-members pay a bucket league rate of $55.00 with a cart or $45.00 walking. Additionally, there is a $6.00 weekly prize pool contribution per player, which funds prizes for closest to the pin, long putts, and team scores. Sign-up is on a week-to-week basis, requiring players to notify the league coordinator (Dave Johnson) by email (duckydave107@gmail.com) or phone (603-522-6381) by Monday evening. Guests are welcome but must provide a handicap or average score and contribute to the prize pool. The league uses USGA rules with specific local league rules regarding provisional lies, unplayable lies (rock/root rule), and no gimmes on putts. Teams are normally flighted based on handicap, with some blind draw formats. Players may play from Blue, White, or Purple tees based on age and ability, though all players are assigned to White Tees for team development.

Venue

Province Lake Golf Course

ME, United States

Province Lake Golf Club is an 18-hole championship course located in Parsonsfield, Maine, offering a blend of classic and modern golf design. The front nine was built in 1918 by renowned designer Lawrence Van Etten, known for laying out courses along the East Coast. A second nine was added in 1988, designed by acclaimed course architect Brian Silva. The front nine has since been renovated to USGA standards. The course features spectacular views of the lake and local wildlife throughout the playing experience. In 2012, a fifth set of tees was added to accommodate golfers of all skill levels and handicaps, with a sixth set positioned forward for juniors and children. The course has undergone ongoing improvements including installation of a state-of-the-art irrigation system, enhanced drainage, and renovated tee boxes. Province Lake is open to the public and caters to golfers seeking both challenging and enjoyable rounds. The facility includes The Carriage House Bistro & Tavern, hosts numerous golf leagues, tournaments, and charity events, and accommodates golf outings for groups up to 144 players.
