No. 1 on that list in the Pine Tree State is Boothbay Harbor Country Club (pictured atop this story), which dates back to 1921 with a nine-hole layout designed by Wayne Styles and John Van Kleek. The course was expanded to 18 holes in 1999 and more recently underwent a renovation by Bruce Hepner. The course is open to guests of the accompanying Boothbay Harbor Oceanside Golf Resort, and the club has other accommodations as well.

No. 2 among public-access courses in Maine is the Walter Travis-designed Cape Arundel in Kennebunkport. Founded in 1896, Cape Arundel was among the first 100 golf clubs in the United States. The club’s original layout was redesigned by Travis and opened in 1921.

No. 3 among Maine’s Best Courses You Can Play is Sunday River Golf Club in Newry, followed by No. 4 Belgrade Lakes Golf Club in Belgrade Lakes and No. 5. Ledges Golf Club in York.
