Blue Hill at Blue Hill Country Club

Blue Hill Country Club occupies a scenic corner of coastal Maine, situated on the Blue Hill Peninsula roughly fifteen miles south of Bucksport. The course was designed by William Bradley Booth, a New England architect active in the early-to-mid twentieth century who created several layouts across Maine and the broader region. The club reflects the character of many traditional New England country clubs from this era, with a routing that works with the natural terrain rather than imposing dramatic earthmoving on the landscape.

The course plays through rolling, forested terrain typical of the Maine coast, with elevation changes that provide variety and strategic interest throughout the round. Fairways move through corridors of pine and hardwood, and the design incorporates natural features into the playing corridors. The layout offers golfers a mix of hole lengths and shot requirements, with greens that reflect the design sensibilities of Booth's period—modest in size and contour by contemporary standards but requiring thoughtful approach play.

Blue Hill Country Club serves as a community gathering place for the Blue Hill area, a small town known for its arts community and maritime heritage. The club maintains the relaxed, unpretentious atmosphere common to many Maine golf clubs, where the focus remains on the game itself and the natural setting. The course provides a straightforward test of golf in a quiet, wooded environment characteristic of Down East Maine.
