Natanis Golf Club
About this course
The Tomahawk Course at Natanis Golf Club in Vassalboro, Maine, opened in 1999 as a companion to the club's original layout. Phil Wogan, a Maine-based designer who created the first course at Natanis in the 1960s, collaborated with Dan Maples on this second eighteen. Maples, known for his work throughout the Carolinas and New England, brought his experience with resort-style courses to central Maine's rolling terrain. The design occupies land characterized by elevation changes and natural wooded corridors typical of the region's inland landscape. The routing takes advantage of the property's topography, moving through stands of pine and hardwood with holes that play across varied ground. The course incorporates water features and strategic bunkering that require golfers to consider risk and reward on approach shots. Natanis operates as a semi-private facility, making both courses accessible to public play while maintaining a membership base. The club sits roughly fifteen miles north of Augusta, serving golfers from the state capital and surrounding communities in the Kennebec Valley. The Tomahawk Course complements the original Natanis layout by offering a different playing experience on the same property. Together, the two courses have made the facility a recognized destination for golf in Maine's interior, away from the better-known coastal layouts. The club provides straightforward amenities typical of New England golf facilities, with the courses themselves serving as the primary draw for visitors traveling through central Maine.

Getting there
Natanis Golf Club is most readily accessed via Augusta State Airport (AUG), a regional hub situated roughly thirty minutes south of the property, or through the larger Portland International Jetport (PWM) - Maine's primary commercial gateway - positioned approximately ninety minutes away by car. The drive north from either airport carries you through the quiet, forested spine of central Maine, where dense pine and birch gradually give way to the rolling terrain of Kennebec County. As you approach Vassalboro, the landscape opens into the pastoral countryside that defines this corner of New England, and the final miles wind through tree-lined roads before arriving at Natanis Golf Club, where the understated elegance of the clubhouse emerges from the Maine woodland like a carefully kept secret. For those with access to private aviation, Augusta State Airport's proximity makes it the preferred choice for a discreet and expeditious arrival.
