About this course

Webhannet, near Kennebunk's rocky coastline, exudes a traditional New England golfing experience steeped in early 20th-century charm. Designed by Donald Ross, the course's subtle contours and strategic bunkering embody his classic approach. The gently rolling, parkland terrain, characteristic of Maine's southern coast, meanders through mature pines and offers glimpses of the nearby Atlantic, although never directly on the ocean. Webhannet's relatively short layout and modest length off the tee requires players to be precise and patient from tee to green, favoring those who can work the ball and manage the undulating greens. While not a national championship venue, its loyal membership takes pride in the course's playability and classic design, reminiscent of a bygone era when walking and shot-making were paramount. Locals often recall the informal matches between members and visiting pros during the course's early years, fostering a close-knit community centered around the game. Post-round, the clubhouse porch is known for its lively discussions, where the salty air mixes with the aroma of lobster rolls, a Webhannet tradition as integral to the experience as a well-struck iron shot.

Getting there

Webhannet Golf Club is most easily reached via Portland International Jetport, a straightforward forty-minute drive north along the Maine Turnpike and into the historic coastal enclave of Kennebunk. The route transitions from interstate efficiency to the salt-tinged charm of Route 9, where colonial architecture and tidal marshes signal arrival in one of southern Maine's most quietly refined summer communities. Webhannet itself sits tucked along the Kennebunk River estuary, its understated entrance a fitting threshold to a club that has occupied this windswept corner of the Atlantic since 1902.
