Northeast Harbor

Northeast Harbor Golf Club began with nine holes in 1895, before moving to a new location in 1916 then developing a new 18-hole layout. Only one par four extends longer than 400 yards on an old-fashioned track measuring a mere 5,606 yards from the back tees.

Holes 1 to 6 and 13 to 15 were designed by Arthur Lockwood, with Herbert Strong setting out the second nine which came into play in 1925. These holes fell into disrepair during World War II but six were brought back into use in the mid-1970s.

Eventually, the final three holes were reinstated by Geoff Cornish through the generous donations of some summer residents and the hard work of other year-round residents. The par four 17th hole is now dedicated to all those who helped the club complete the expansion project.

World Top 100 Golf Courses

The latest ranking of the Top 100 Golf Courses in the World serves as the ultimate global golf bucket list. Most members of our World Top 100 Panel are seasoned golfers, each playing 20-30 of these courses annually while travelling extensively over decades to form their opinions on others. We recognise that opinions vary—even among our panel members. Rankings are subjective, and there are undoubtedly 50 or more courses in the UK and USA alone that could easily fit onto this list.
