Western Maine golf extends well beyond Sugarloaf and Sunday River. Across Franklin and Oxford counties and the upper Androscoggin River valley, golfers can find inexpensive rural layouts, community clubs and destination courses with mountain views.

The region’s courses range from informal par-3 layouts and community nine-hole clubs to major mountain destinations.

Because the golf season is short and weather-dependent, players should verify rates, tee-time requirements, cart charges and tournament closures before traveling.

This guide includes both the region’s best-known courses and smaller operations that are easy to overlook.

PHILLIPS

Justafield Golf is an informal 18-hole par-3 walking course along Route 4. Its short holes and rural setting make it approachable for beginners, families and golfers working on their iron play.

Mingo Springs Golf Course is a family-owned public 18-hole course at 43 Country Club Road. The more open front nine gives way to a tighter back nine where accuracy matters. Built across rolling terrain, it has elevated tees and greens, narrow tree-lined fairways and water hazards on three holes.

Peak-season 2026 rates are $80 Monday through Thursday and $93 Friday through Sunday for 18 holes with a cart. Nine holes with a cart cost $55 on weekdays and $61 on weekends. Lower spring, fall and afternoon rates are available.

CARRABASSETT VALLEY

Sugarloaf Golf Club is an 18-hole Robert Trent Jones Jr. mountain course following steep terrain near the Carrabassett River. The elevation changes make the course play longer than it may appear, and the signature 11th hole requires a tee shot from an elevated position across the river. Golf carts are included with greens fees, rental clubs are available, and the property has a driving range.

Junior golfers age 17 and younger may play free after 2 p.m. when accompanied by a paying adult. The course generally operates from May through October.

WILTON

Wilson Lake Country Club is a historic nine-hole course at 320 Weld Road near the shore of Wilson Lake. Designed by Wayne Stiles, it opened Aug. 6, 1932, and retains much of its original layout. Patty Berg played an exhibition match there in 1946, setting the women’s course record of 38.
