Cape Neddick Country Club

Cape Neddick Country Club sits in one of coastal Maine's most characterfully named corners — Cape Neddick is the rocky headland just north of Ogunquit where a squat 1879 lighthouse perches on a tidal island called the Nubble, one of the most photographed spots on the Atlantic seaboard. Ogunquit itself is a small resort town that fills with visitors every summer, drawn by its long sandy beach, the Marginal Way cliff walk, and an arts scene that has attracted painters since the early 20th century. Golf here means playing in that coastal atmosphere — salt air, shifting breezes off the ocean, and the particular quality of light that made this stretch of southern Maine so appealing to landscape artists.
