Wilson Lake Country Club
Rating Snapshot
About
Wilson Lake Country Club sits along the banks of its namesake lake. The classic layout has been a local favorite since opening in the 1930s and is arguably the best nine-hole layout in the state. The golf course has an alternative set of tees for an interesting 18-hole round too. Though the design has five parallel holes, the up-and-down nature of the course will call for tricky second shots of varying lengths. There is no water on the golf course, but watch out for the mature trees and strategically placed bunkers that frame the greens. A Maine golf guidebook that was published in 1935 points to Wilson Lake Country Club's second hole as being "one of the prettiest one-shotters in Maine." This par 3 plays from an elevated tee across a gully to a tree-lined fairway.

A beautiful day in the country
Course was in great shape considering the amount of rain we've had since spring. The staff has done a great job keeping the horse playable. Greens were in lush condition. Not as fast as I would like, but still good. I would recommend playing this course
Great 9 hole course .. played with my friend in 3.15, greens.were exceptional.. whole course was green ..
Beautiful course
Only been golfing for a few months but loved this course that was close to our vacation camp. Beautiful layout and the grounds were in very good shape.
Will play again when I’m in the area.
Friendly course
Although course was still drying out from winter, the conditions were good with a few blemishes on a few greens. Would recommend waiting a little bit but should be a good play when cart restrictions are lifted. I did get a hot deal that was too good to pass up and will keep an eye out in the future as we’ll.
Great spring time conditions
Of course the course was crowded on Saturday morning of a 62° day. We still manage to have a good time because the weather and the course conditions were so good especially for this time of year. I would recommend that if you haven't played Wilson lake that you do.
Great
Steve in the club house is amazing and FRED AND THE GROUNDS GREW DO A GREAT JOB WITH THE COURSE
Good little course
The course is improving. For the next step, they need to remove all the asphalt cart paths and replace with gravel that can be maintained weekly. The restaurant was closed today but the prepared sandwiches did the job. The restaurant normally provides good course food and beverages. Greens were all in very good condition. Traps were better than the Maine average. Pace of play is good.
Upgrading
They are doing a nice job improving the amenities. The patio area is very nice to grab a bite to eat or to enjoy a drink post round. The course is a nice course that is very forgiving. Next project should be to pull up all the cart paths and then keep them as fine gravel that can be dragged weekly. Keep up the good work.
Nice 9 hole track
Very nice time going twice around this 9-hole course. Green we huge and rolled nice. Also held approach shots really well.
Just go there and play
A great experience from start to finish. Friendly staff, really good greens, challenging layout and rolling hills make for a very enjoyable day of golf. Definitely worth a drive to this scenic rural area. Just hope I can play better next time.
Love this course
As a new golfer, this course is great. Not too difficult but offers some challenges! And great deals on GolfNow app.
