Golf in Brunswick

Brunswick anchors the gateway to the Midcoast, home to Bowdoin College — whose alumni include Nathaniel Hawthorne, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, and Arctic explorer Robert Peary — and a lively year-round population unusual for a Maine town of its size. The tidal Androscoggin empties into Merrymeeting Bay just south, one of the most significant migratory bird staging areas in the Northeast. The downtown's restaurant and arts scene benefits from the college presence. Three golf facilities serve the Brunswick area, from Brunswick Golf Club to the Hopkins Golf Center and Mere Creek Golf Club, spread across varied terrain between the river and the coast.
