Northeast Harbor Golf Club
Set along the scenic coast of Maine, Northeast Harbor Golf Club presents an 18-hole course that combines open, forgiving fairways with challenging forested terrain. Its blend of coastal breezes and hillside elevation creates a thoughtful golfing experience suited for a range of skill levels.
Course Overview
Northeast Harbor Golf Club offers an 18-hole challenge set within the rugged beauty of coastal Maine. Approaching the course, the first three holes stretch openly with inviting fairways, but as you advance deeper into the surrounding forest and hill terrain, the routing reveals its true character. Each hole carved into natural rises and pockets of dense woodland demands strategy and precision. The greens are well-contoured and guarded by cleverly placed bunkers that require both thoughtful shot placement and a steady putting stroke.
This semi-private course balances accessibility with refinement, welcoming players of varying skill levels while providing enough challenge to keep low handicappers engaged. Walkers will find the course rewarding and invigorating, though the elevation changes call for comfortable footwear and a moderate level of fitness. Those seeking a more measured pace can opt for a golf cart, which is available upon request.
The striking landscape emphasizes a seamless blend of coastal and forest elements, where the ocean’s distant breeze occasionally influences shot selection and tempo. The holes tucked away in the hills encourage golfers to engage both mind and muscle, transforming each round into a thoughtful exploration of terrain and technique.
Amenities include a small but well-stocked pro shop alongside a practice range that allows players to hone their skills before setting out. The clubhouse offers a relaxed atmosphere with attentive staff ready to support members and guests alike. The course’s reputation for excellent conditioning and friendly service is echoed in the experience of returning golfers and first-timers.
For visitors, Northeast Harbor Golf Club represents more than just a round of golf; it is an opportunity to engage with Southeast Maine’s unique landscape, balancing tactical play with the quiet rhythms of nature. Whether navigating the greens or enjoying the instinctive challenge of the forested holes, players will find this course both memorable and satisfying.

Terrance Gallagher
The course was great today; had a lot of fun. The course staff were very friendly and helpful.
CJ Harter
Oh my! Spectacular ! We almost missed out on thus wonderful course. The 3 holes you see from the road appear flat and wide, wide open. Upon further look at maps the remaining 15 are tucked back in the forest and hills. so we took a chance. Although the first 3 holes do appear open they have challenges of their own. As another reviewer commented it is one of the best courses we’ve played … and we play northern CA and HI a lot. ! It is in perfect shape and the staff could not have been nicer.

Beautiful course with great scenery. I did find it hard going to the next hole as it was not clearly marked like going from 15 to 16.

Amazing course! My husband and I got lucky when rain kept all players away. We had the course to ourselves. It was a tough course to walk, but enjoyed getting to combine golf with a hike. A must for golf enthusiast visiting the MDI area.
