Lake Kezar Country Club occupies a scenic stretch of western Maine near the New Hampshire border, where the White Mountains provide a dramatic backdrop to the rolling terrain characteristic of the region. Donald Ross designed the course in the 1920s during his most prolific period, when he was creating layouts throughout New England and beyond. The property sits adjacent to Lake Kezar, one of the area's larger bodies of water, and the routing takes advantage of both the natural elevation changes and the lake views that define this corner of Maine. Ross's design here reflects his ability to adapt his principles to varied topography. The course features the architect's characteristic green complexes with subtle internal contours and strategic bunkering that rewards thoughtful approach play. Several holes move through stands of pine and hardwood forest, while others open to broader vistas across the lake and surrounding hills. The layout requires accurate driving and careful club selection on approaches, as the greens tend to reject poorly struck shots. Lake Kezar Country Club operates as a semi-private facility serving both members and visiting golfers during the summer season. The club maintains a traditional New England country club atmosphere, with a modest clubhouse that reflects the unpretentious character of the region. The course has remained relatively true to Ross's original design intent, though some modifications have been made over the decades to accommodate modern maintenance practices and playing preferences. It represents a well-preserved example of Ross's work in a less-traveled part of his extensive portfolio.
