Golf in Dexter

Dexter is a Somerset County community on Lake Wassookeag and the Sebasticook River, once a significant woolen-manufacturing center whose mills have long since closed. The town has reinvented itself around the lake's recreational potential and the quiet Somerset County countryside. Lake Wassookeag provides fishing, boating, and swimming access that anchors the community's warm-weather life, and the surrounding forested hills provide hunting and snowmobiling in the colder months. Dexter Municipal Golf Course serves the town with a nine-hole layout that reflects the practical, community-focused approach to recreation common in Maine's inland mill towns — unpretentious, accessible, and embedded in the town's year-round social fabric.
