Summit Springs at Summit Spring Golf Course

Summit Spring Golf Course is where Maine golf began its modern, popular appeal in the late 19th century. Carved from the rolling, forested landscape of Poland, Maine, this course presents a distinctly northeastern parkland experience. With its tree-lined fairways and strategically placed hazards, Summit Spring favors thoughtful course management rather than brute strength. Expect demanding approaches and a course that rewards precision, and well struck irons on the many dog legs.

Originally designed by a group of local enthusiasts, the course has seen subtle enhancements over the years to maintain its playability and charm. While Summit Spring hasn't hosted any major championships, its enduring appeal lies in its accessibility and the pure golfing experience it offers.

The membership at Summit Spring prizes the social aspect of the game, a tight-knit community bound by a shared love for the course and the region. The club is known locally for its "Poland Spring Open," a popular amateur event that draws players from across the state. Its popularity amongst its members stems from the famed seafood chowder, that fills the bellies after 18.
