Golf in Dedham

Dedham is a Hancock County community on the shores of Phillips Lake — Lucerne-in-Maine — a cold, clear body of water that has drawn summer visitors for well over a century. The Lucerne Inn on the lake's western shore operated for most of the 20th century as a landmark destination between Bangor and Ellsworth. The lake's forested ridges, the quiet Hancock County countryside, and the proximity to both Bangor and the Acadia gateway make Dedham an appealing location for a summer stay. Lucerne Golf Course occupies this idyllic setting, offering nine holes beside the lake with the surrounding hillsides providing a scenic frame.
