Mt Kineo Golf Course: Where Tradition Meets Adventure in Rockwood, Maine

Experience the Magic of Island Golfing at the Base of the North Woods’ Most Iconic Landmark

Step into a living legend at Mt Kineo Golf Course, a hidden gem on the picturesque shores of Moosehead Lake. As one of the oldest courses in New England (established in the 1880s), it offers more than just a round of golf—it’s an adventure that begins with a scenic boat ride and ends with breathtaking vistas under the shadow of the 1,798-foot flint cliffs of Mount Kineo.

The Course: Nine Holes of Breathtaking Brilliance

Immerse yourself in the serenity of nature as you navigate a Par 36 layout that rewards both strategy and precision. Spanning over 3,000 yards, each hole is designed to balance historic charm with modern challenge.

  • The Iconic Fourth Hole: Brace yourself for the course’s signature challenge—a Par 3 stretching 138 yards entirely over water to a green nestled directly at the base of the Mount Kineo summit.

  • Impeccable Greens: Meticulously maintained fairways and small, sloping greens ensure a technical game that will test every club in your bag.
