Classic Courses
The Lakewood Golf Course dates back to the 1920s when it was part of a summer colony western shore of Lake Wesserunsett. The Lakewood Inn Restaurant and the historic Lakewood Theater are right nearby.
Other courses are relatively new in comparison. Established in 1998, the Meadows Golf Course in Litchfield and Belgrade Lakes Golf Club were designed by acclaimed architect and British golfer Clive Clark. Or take the boat shuttle from Rockwood on Moosehead Lake over to Mount Kineo Golf Course and enjoy a round in the shadow of its namesake.
If the weather isn’t great or you just can’t get a tee time, Waterville is home to two indoor golf options: Champions Fitness Club’s state-of-the-art indoor high-definition widescreen golf simulator by TruGolf and Swish Indoor Golf has two indoor golf simulators located in the Hathaway Creative Center.
Disc Golf – the same but different
Disc golf is played much like golf but with a flying disc. The sport shares with golf the object of completing each hole in the fewest strokes (or, in this case, the fewest throws). A golf disc is thrown from a tee area to a target, which is the “hole.” The trees, shrubs, and terrain provide challenging obstacles. Finally, the “putt” lands in the basket, completing the hole. The region is now home to nine disc golf courses.
There are close to a dozen courses across the region for visitors to choose from. No matter where you call vacation home base there will likely be a place to play through.
mini golf is big here
People of all ages and abilities can enjoy the sport of mini-golf. Hit a colored ball from a tee-off point into a hole in as few shots as possible. Of course, there are always various interesting and tricky obstacles for players to putt through, over, under, and around.
