Tucked away in the quaint and charming town of Rockport, Maine lies the Samoset Resort & Golf Course. While the resort itself has been around since 1902 and continues to be one of the premier vacation destinations in the area, the 18-hole championship golf course is just as legendary and unforgettable.
This 71-par golf course features picture perfect views of the New England scenery with seven holes located along the Penobscot Bay and fourteen holes surrounded by breathtaking ocean views. As for the course itself, we’re certain that you’ll enjoy playing the contoured greens which include added bunkers and an impressive seawall that lines the fourteen holes that face the Atlantic Ocean. In addition to the signature 18-hole course, you can also practice your putting on the 10,000 square foot putting green or practice your swing at the golf range or short game area.
Golf Cart Tours
Another unique feature of the Samoset Resort is the option to take a guided golf cart tour. Here, you can experience a 45-minute evening tour that touches on the history of the resort and explains the course’s signature holes.
As a Ship Sticks favorite, we’re certain that the rich history and unique charm of the Somerset Resort will leave you feeling like one visit just isn’t quite enough and you’ll be back for at least another round or two in no time.
