Tarratine Golf Club

About Tarratine Golf Club

This remote island gem sits on Islesboro in Penobscot Bay, accessible only by state ferry from Lincolnville Beach, a journey that immediately sets it apart from mainland Maine golf. The course occupies rolling terrain with mature trees and glimpses of the surrounding waters, creating an intimate, old-Maine atmosphere that feels worlds away from resort golf. What makes Tarratine special is its unpretentious character and the fact that you're playing on an island where summer residents have quietly enjoyed golf for generations. The layout takes advantage of the natural topography without forcing dramatic elevation changes, and the walking-friendly routing keeps you moving through varied terrain that showcases the island's rural beauty. With only a handful of Google reviews, this remains one of Maine's true hidden gems, though getting there requires commitment to the ferry schedule. If you're exploring the midcoast and want golf that feels like a local secret, the extra logistics are worth it for the unique island experience.
