Boothbay Harbor Country Club
Overview
Boothbay Harbor Country Club is a semi-private club on the coast of Maine offering stay-and-play packages at its cottages, villas and oceanside resort. The club underwent a $50 million makeover in 2015 and 2016, funded by philanthropist owner Paul Coulombe, who made his fortune in the flavored vodka business. As part of the makeover, the course was redesigned by Bruce Hepner, and it remains one of the best-conditioned courses in the Pine Tree State, as indicated by our panelists' scores. The course is aesthetically strong as well, with water features, flower beds and the Maine woods framing many holes. The course has plenty of elevation changes and is best enjoyed in a cart.

“Hilly course winding through coastal hardwoods. Ironically "Ocean View Cemetery" overlooks the very difficult 18th green, but its residents neither have, nor require an ocean view."

“Went through a redesign approximately ten years ago that makes it one of the best in Maine. No terribly long, but has big elevation changes and above average conditions. Worth the trip if you haven't seen it."

“This is my new highest ranked aesthetics course with 7 waterfalls, manicured flower beds, beautiful quarter-way houses, and majestic views surrounding. There is a tremendous variety of elevation change along with an island tee box, differing green contours and outstanding water utilization. Hole #4 is reminiscent of #14 at Bandon Trails."

“Extremely well maintained property in an area with not a lot of golf courses. A definite visit if you are in the area. They have two newly renovated holes that alone are worth the round."
