Common questions about Maine golf

How many golf courses can you play in Maine?
BogeyMap publishes 65 courses in Maine. 64 of them are public, resort, municipal, or semi-private, meaning a visiting golfer can usually book a tee time directly with the course.
What is the best public course in Maine?
Belgrade Lakes Golf Club in Belgrade Lakes holds the highest LooperScore among public courses we publish in Maine (86.9).
How does BogeyMap rank Maine courses?
Every list is generated by LooperScore, BogeyMap's own 0-100 composite of course quality signals, verified golfer ratings, and editorial review. We never republish another publication's rankings, and a course only shows a score once the underlying evidence exists. See how the rankings work.
Can BogeyMap get me on a private club in Maine?
No. BogeyMap doesn't sell tee times and never guarantees access. For clubs that allow limited outside play, Looper Pro members can read researched Access Intel describing how that access generally works — the club is always the final authority.
