Portland Country Club

Portland Country Club, a bastion of Maine golf since 1895, presents a compelling challenge that has tested generations of golfers in the Falmouth foreside. Carved through rolling, tree-lined terrain characteristic of southern Maine, the original Devereux Emmet design, refined significantly by Geoffrey Cornish in the mid-20th century, rewards strategic play and a deft touch around its subtly contoured greens. While not overly long by modern standards, the course favors players who can shape the ball and navigate its classic doglegs, making the most of the natural elevation changes and well-placed bunkers. The club’s storied history includes hosting the 1921 New England Amateur, a testament to its respected position in regional amateur golf. Its undulating fairways and closely mown approaches place a premium on precise iron play, as does the tricky and testing par 3s. While not a household name on the national stage, Portland Country Club enjoys an esteemed place among New England's classic courses. More than just a golf course, Portland Country Club is a social hub steeped in tradition. The club is known amongst the membership for its formal club dinners and galas throughout the season, events that are often multi-generational and inclusive. With a rich tradition of friendly competition and camaraderie, Portland Country Club remains a treasured landmark for Maine golfers.
