Belgrade Lakes Golf Club

Belgrade Lakes Golf Club sits in the heart of Maine's Belgrade Lakes region, an area known for its chain of interconnected lakes and forested rolling terrain. The course was designed by Clive Clark, a British architect who worked primarily in the northeastern United States during the mid-twentieth century. The layout takes advantage of the natural topography, with fairways moving through stands of pine and hardwood and occasional glimpses of the surrounding water bodies that define this part of central Maine. The routing reflects the constraints and opportunities of the property's terrain, with elevation changes that are modest but meaningful in shaping hole strategy. Several holes play along ridgelines or down into natural bowls, and the design incorporates the native vegetation as both framing and hazard. The greens tend toward traditional shapes and sizes consistent with Clark's era, and the bunkering follows a straightforward style that emphasizes position over visual drama. Belgrade Lakes serves primarily as a community course for seasonal residents and visitors to the region. The club operates in a relaxed manner typical of Maine summer golf destinations, where the focus remains on accessible play rather than championship conditions or tournament hosting. The setting offers a quiet, wooded character that contrasts with more exposed coastal layouts elsewhere in the state, and the course provides a straightforward test suited to a range of skill levels within a landscape that reflects the region's lake-country identity.
