Golf in Bangor

Bangor is Maine's third-largest city and the commercial hub of the northern half of the state, positioned where the Penobscot River becomes navigable and the interior begins to open into the vast North Woods. Stephen King's adopted hometown carries a gritty, literary identity — the author's Victorian mansion on West Broadway is a stop for fans — alongside a regional economy built on healthcare, retail, and distribution. The Bangor Municipal Golf Course gives residents and visitors access to recreational golf in a city that functions as the de facto capital of all of Maine north of Portland, operating through the compressed northern season.
