Bucksport Golf Club

Hampden, ME · 14 mi away

Hampden Country Club is a nine-hole public course in Hampden, Maine, a short drive from Bangor. It was built in 1967 by Hamm Robbins, a former dairy farmer, and has been family-operated for decades, with the Gamble family taking over ownership and operations in 1970. The layout is short and open, with generous landing areas offset by small, sloped greens that demand accuracy on approach shots. The par-5 seventh and ninth holes are guarded by mounds, bunkers and water, giving even shorter holes some teeth despite the course's modest overall length. As a public, community-oriented club, Hampden Country Club draws local leagues and casual players rather than a destination crowd. It suits golfers looking for a relaxed nine-hole round without the pretension of larger clubs in the region.

Castine, ME · 14 mi away

Castine Golf Club is a 9-hole course on the coast in Castine, Maine, on land that has been used for golf since at least the 1890s. The club was incorporated in 1897, and architect Willie Park Jr. came to Castine in 1921 to lay out the course as it is essentially played today, on open, largely treeless ground resembling links terrain near Fort George. The course plays to 2,977 yards at par 35 from the back tees, with holes routed across bluffs and open fields overlooking Penobscot Bay. The club also includes tennis and yacht club facilities alongside golf. It is open to public play in addition to members.
