Aroostook Valley Country Club

Mars Hill, ME · 13 mi away

Mars Hill Country Club is a public, 18-hole, par-72 course in Mars Hill, Maine, built in 1991 at the base of Mars Hill Mountain in Aroostook County. From the blue tees it plays 6,043 yards with a course rating of 69.0 and a slope of 123, long enough for the region but forgiving off the tee on most holes. Bluegrass fairways and bent grass greens are standard for northern Maine, and the layout stays walkable for anyone who wants the climb. The course is known locally for the par-3 6th, which tees off from the mountain side and drops roughly 160 vertical feet to the green below, one of the more dramatic short holes in the state. The rest of the routing rolls through open, tree-lined corridors with long views toward the surrounding farmland and the New Brunswick border. A driving range, practice green, pro shop, clubhouse, and snack bar support a steady schedule of member and open play through the short northern season. Green fees stay low, the pace is relaxed, and the staff keeps the course open to the public seven days a week, which makes Mars Hill one of the more accessible daily-fee options north of Bangor. The mountain setting, the elevation-change 6th, and the honest small-town conditioning give it a character that is hard to find at the price.

Caribou, ME · 13 mi away

Caribou Country Club sits about three miles north of downtown Caribou, Maine, on land once known as the Cyrus Maxwell farm. Geoffrey Cornish, assisted by Bill Robinson, designed the course in the early 1970s, though only nine of the originally planned 18 holes were built due to funding running out during construction. The nine-hole course measures 3,206 yards with tree-lined, rolling fairways typical of the Aroostook County countryside. It is a semi-private club that hosts the Cary Classic tournament and offers memberships along with public play. Men's and ladies' twilight leagues run through the season, and the club maintains reciprocal arrangements with other courses in Maine and Atlantic Canada.
