About Us:

One of the least-pretentious "country clubs" in the state, as described in The Guide to Maine Golf Courses. A short, open layout, it was built in 1967 by Hamm Robbins a former dairy farmer. In 1970, the Gamble family (Elmer and Leroy) became owners and operators of the course. Generous landing areas are tempered by small greens. Although relatively short, the Par 5's-the seventh and ninth holes (462, and 420 yards respectively)- are not forgone birdie opportunities. A large pine tree blocks your approach to a small sloping green on the seventh that is further guarded by a mound and two bunkers, and a small pond on the right.  The ninth, too, has a small undulating, two-tiered green that is tucked close to the woods on the right and a huge bunker in the front left. Likewise, the pond shared with the seventh becomes a resting place for many balls.
