Samoset Resort Golf Club
Rockport

Begin your golf experience with a course offering breathtaking ocean vistas and complete your round on one of the best finishing holes in New England. With the completion of our new 474 yard, par four 18th, the Samoset Resort continues to be ranked one of New England’s premier resort golf destinations. Samoset was chosen as the site for the 2002 PGA Junior Series Event, the first to ever be held in New England.

Samoset Resort Golf Club is home of Golf Digest’s “Top Ranked Resort Course in New England,” and also was the magazine’s choice as the No. 52 “Best Upscale Course in the U.S.” Designed by Robert Elder in 1902, Samoset Resort celebrated its centennial year in 2002. The resort features some of the most spectacular views of the East Coast, with a newly constructed granite seawall separating the golfer from the Atlantic Ocean. Samoset Resort was host to the 2001 New England PGA Section Championship and was a qualifying event on the former Nike Tour. Recent renovations by the Maine-based Bradley Booth, featuring what is regarded as the best finishing hole in the state, have strengthened the resort’s reputation as a premier championship layout.

In addition to the new 18th, the par-five fourth, Samoset’s legendary hole that plays alongside Penobscot Bay, has undergone extensive enhancements to the green and surrounding area. The hole now boasts an impressive stone seawall that encompasses the newly constructed contoured green with added bunkers and elevation. Coupled with the redesigned 185-yard par-three fifth hole (formally a par-four), featuring a demanding uphill slope and a tee box located directly above the seawall on Penobscot Bay, playing to a heavily bunkered bank to front sloping green, the golf course has certainly increased it’s ability to challenge golfers.

“The renovations to holes four and five coupled with the new 18th hole and new practice facility shows just how committed the Samoset Resort is to maintaining our place among the most elite and prestigious courses in the country,” commented Chris Christie, the Director of Golf.

Samoset Resort is a golfer’s paradise – located in Mid-Coast Maine. Ranked the “7th Most Beautiful Course in America” by Golf Digest, the course winds through seaside vistas, woods and gardens, offering some of the most magnificent views and formidable holes in golf. The Samoset Golf Course is an 18-hole championship course that is as challenging as it is beautiful.
