Best Golf Courses in New England: The Top 10 You Can Play in Maine

Like the state itself, New England dot Golf’s Top 10 Courses You Can Play in Maine offers up a diverse selection of championship golf courses.

From the lakes (Belgrade) and mountains (Sunday River) to the ocean-side (Samoset), golf in Maine delivers some of the most inspiring and scenic courses in all of New England.

Many of the top courses on our list were designed (or redesigned) by some of golf’s most celebrated architects, including Donald Ross, Geoffrey Cornish, Robert Trent Jones Jr, William Bradley Booth and Brian Silva. And a vast majority were constructed (or reconstructed) within the past 20 years and offer modern golf course architecture with expansive greens, receptive fairways and pristine conditions.

Now onto the list…
