Bridgton Highlands Country Club

The rolling terrain of Maine's lake country creates natural amphitheaters for golf, and this 18-hole layout maximizes every elevation change with strategic bunkering that punishes lazy approaches. Water comes into play on six holes, but it's the granite outcroppings and mature hardwoods that define the character here—particularly on a par-4 12th that doglegs around a stone ledge formation. At 6,400 yards from the tips, it's not overly long, but the greens are deceptively quick and the autumn foliage makes this one of New England's most photogenic public tracks.
