Golf
Our Course
A Maine legend, the Samoset Resort’s championship golf course winds through seaside woods and gardens while showcasing some of the most challenging holes in New England. Our 18-hole Maine golf course is well-suited for players of all skills levels with contoured greens, added bunkers, and an impressive seawall along with 14 holes that offer breathtaking views of the Atlantic.
Originally designed as a nine-hole course in 1902, the Samoset Golf Course celebrated its centennial year in 2002, and was also a qualifying event on the former Nike Tour. In 1974, the course was rebuilt as an 18-hole course by notable architect Robert Elder. In the early 1990s, Jeffrey Cornish improved many of the holes, including 10, 11, and 18.
In 2000, Bradley Booth played a key role in redesigning and rebuilding holes 4, 5, 14, and 18, and introducing the practice area. These noteworthy improvements solidified the Samoset’s reputation as the home of New England’s premier championship course.
Samoset Golf Course
HOLE 4
Considered the Samoset Golf Course’s signature hole, Hole 4 really has it all. In addition to being a dramatic par-5 dogleg left that hugs the coast and also features a beautiful seawall, the hole also boasts views of the Atlantic, Penobscot Bay, and the fairway. And when the tide is low, you might even spot seals sunning on the rocks out on the bay.
HOLE 14
At 545 yards from the gold tee, Hole 14 is Samoset Golf Course’s longest. It’s also especially beautiful on a clear, summer day, since you might get to see schooners – which often travel to and from nearby Camden – pass directly behind the green, which is located at the water’s edge.
HOLE 15
Samoset Golf Course’s Hole 15 is the most scenic par 4 at the Samoset, offering breathtaking views of the Penobscot Bay as well as a unique look at our signature Flume Cottage. A well placed tee shot is required, as the fairway is guarded by rocky coastline on the left and dense woods on the right. Players may consider taking an extra club with their approach shot to combat the often windy conditions around the green.
