Golf in Walpole

Walpole is a Lincoln County village on the Damariscotta River, near the junction of Route 129 toward the Pemaquid Peninsula and the tidal estuary that is one of Maine's most productive shellfish-growing waterways. The Damariscotta River oyster aquaculture operations are among the most celebrated in the eastern United States, and the village of Walpole sits in a landscape of tidal coves and spruce-edged shoreline typical of the Midcoast interior. Wawenock Golf Club, named for the Abenaki nation of the Midcoast region, occupies terrain in this quiet community between Damariscotta and the Boothbay peninsula, serving year-round residents and summer visitors who return annually to the Damariscotta area.
