Golf in Orono

Orono is the home of the University of Maine, the flagship campus of Maine's public university system, on the Stillwater Branch of the Penobscot River north of Bangor. The university's Division I athletics, research programs, and student population give Orono a vitality unusual for a Maine town of its size. The campus's Gothic Revival brick buildings and the Orono Bog Boardwalk nearby represent different aspects of what a university community brings to a Maine river town. Penobscot Valley Country Club has served the academic and broader Orono community for generations, offering formal country-club golf in the forested Penobscot River corridor.
