Getting there
Most arrivals to Dunegrass Golf Club and Resort begin at Portland International Jetport, a straightforward forty-minute drive south along the Maine coast. The route traces the edge of Casco Bay before turning inland through salt marsh and tidal estuaries, the air growing noticeably brighter and more maritime as you approach Old Orchard Beach. Private arrivals can utilize the jetport's general aviation facilities, though the journey by road - past weathered lobster shacks and glimpses of open Atlantic - is part of the appeal. The final turn off Route 1 delivers you to the resort's entrance, where rolling dunes and fairways replace the beachfront bustle just beyond the property line.
