# Blink Bonnie Golf Links Blink Bonnie Golf Links occupies a seaside setting in Sorrento, Maine, a small coastal community on the Downeast peninsula. The course takes its name from a Scottish term, reflecting the links-style aesthetic that characterizes many New England courses built in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The property commands views of Frenchman Bay and the surrounding Maine coast, with the routing woven through native grasses, rocky outcrops, and the natural topography of the headland. The design emphasizes the rugged character of the Maine shoreline, with holes routed to take advantage of elevation changes and water views. The course plays through open, windswept terrain typical of genuine links land, where strategy often depends on reading wind and managing approach angles rather than length alone. Several holes present the Atlantic as a carrying hazard or boundary, adding both visual drama and genuine penal consequence to wayward shots. Blink Bonnie has hosted regional competitions and remains a fixture in Maine's golf landscape, drawing players interested in authentic links golf within New England. The club maintains a relatively quiet profile, serving a membership drawn primarily from the local region and seasonal visitors to Downeast Maine. The setting and design philosophy reflect the broader tradition of American seaside golf courses that emerged in the early 20th century, when architects sought to replicate the strategic and aesthetic qualities of Scottish links courses on suitable American coastal terrain.
