The Belgrade Lakes region is home to one of New England's most celebrated golf courses — and several more excellent options within a half-hour drive.
Few vacation rentals in Maine put you this close to this caliber of golf. The Belgrade Lakes Golf Club is nine miles from your door and consistently ranks among the top public courses in New England — plan at least one round while you're here.
Ranked among the top 100 public courses in America by Golf Digest and consistently recognized as one of Maine's finest. A classic Clive Clark design carved through the Maine woods with dramatic elevation changes and lake views on multiple holes. Book tee times well in advance in summer.
Book a tee time ↗Maine's most unique golf destination — two distinct 18-hole courses (the Tomahawk and the Arrowhead) sharing a beautifully maintained facility. One of the best values in New England golf, with low green fees and a friendly atmosphere. Walking encouraged.
Visit website ↗A well-regarded 18-hole public course carved out of historic apple orchards on the Leavitt Family Farm. Opened in 1993 and consistently praised for its condition, variety, and welcoming atmosphere. Tee times bookable online — no membership required, no attitude.
Book a tee time ↗A well-maintained 18-hole public course in the rolling countryside of Litchfield, just south of Augusta. Known for its fair layout, good conditions, and easygoing atmosphere — a great option for a casual round without the formality of a private club.
Visit website ↗One of Maine's oldest courses and still one of its most scenic. Lakewood winds through rolling terrain with the Wesserunsett Stream running through several holes. Home to Maine's only par-6 hole. A relaxed, unhurried atmosphere perfect for a summer afternoon round.
Visit website ↗Belgrade Lakes Golf Club is genuinely hard to get into on summer weekends — tee times go weeks out. Book before your trip if you want a specific morning slot. Weekday tee times are easier and the course is equally beautiful on a quiet Tuesday.
Check availability ↗Wake up, grab coffee on the porch, drive nine miles to one of New England's best golf courses, and be back on the dock by afternoon. This is what a lake-house golf trip looks like.
