Aroostook Valley Country Club

Aroostook Valley Country Club sits in Fort Fairfield, a small agricultural community in Maine's far northern Aroostook County, near the Canadian border. The course was designed by Howard Watson, a New England-based architect active in the mid-twentieth century who created several layouts across Maine and the broader region. The setting reflects the area's distinctive character—rolling farmland and potato fields that define this part of the state, with the surrounding landscape shaped by generations of agricultural use. The routing takes advantage of the natural terrain, with holes moving across gently undulating ground typical of the region. Tree-lined fairways frame play on many holes, while the design incorporates the modest elevation changes available on the property. The course serves as the recreational centerpiece for Fort Fairfield and the surrounding communities in this sparsely populated corner of Maine, where golf courses are relatively few and distances between towns are considerable. Aroostook Valley functions as a traditional small-town country club, providing a gathering place for local members and visitors exploring Maine's northern reaches. The club reflects the straightforward, unpretentious character common to rural New England golf facilities, where the focus remains on playable golf in a natural setting rather than elaborate amenities. For golfers traveling through Aroostook County or exploring the region's quiet landscapes, the course offers a glimpse of golf as it exists in one of the more remote corners of American golf geography.
