WAWENOCK COUNTRY CLUB
🇺🇸 Walpole, ME, USA
Designed by Wayne Stiles

Wawenock Country Club sits on a peninsula in Muscongus Bay near the village of Walpole in midcoast Maine. Wayne Stiles designed the course in the late 1920s, during a period when he was creating several layouts along the Maine coast. The club occupies a scenic property where the golf holes move across rolling terrain with views of the bay and surrounding islands. The setting reflects the character of Maine's working waterfront, with lobster boats and maritime activity visible from several points on the course.
Stiles routed the course to take advantage of the natural topography, incorporating elevation changes and native vegetation into the design. The layout features relatively compact dimensions typical of courses from this era, with holes that require accuracy and course management rather than length. Several holes play along or toward the water, though the course is not a true links in the British sense—it combines coastal views with tree-lined corridors and traditional parkland elements.
Wawenock operates as a private club serving the local community and seasonal residents of the midcoast region. The club maintains a traditional New England country club atmosphere, with a focus on golf and informal summer recreation. The course remains largely faithful to Stiles's original design principles, preserving the character of 1920s Maine golf architecture in a relatively unaltered coastal setting.
