Course Report
The course sits near the rocky Maine coastline and has evolved with restoration work from architecct Bruce Hepner, honoring its original Wayne Stiles design.
About
Prouts Neck Country Club in Scarborough, Maine, is a classic 18-hole Wayne Stiles design dating to 1907 that offers 6,029 yards of engaging golf along coastal terrain. Notable for its blend of well-groomed fairways and bentgrass greens, the club combines memorable shot values and natural beauty with a focus on tradition and understated charm.
Caddie Tip
Don’t underestimate the wind—it frequently comes off the Atlantic and can affect club selection throughout the round. Position your drives to the preferred side of fairways to open up optimal angles into the demanding, small greens. Smart course management is key to scoring here.
The Main Challenge
Strategic bunkering, uneven terrain, and small, quick greens place a premium on shot placement and short game precision. Wind from the ocean can be a significant test, especially on approach shots. Out of bounds and native rough can quickly punish wayward drives.
The Good
Golfers especially love the classic architectural features, the cooled seaside breeze, and views of the nearby Atlantic Ocean, as well as the tight routing and historic character. Many appreciate the emphasis on walking and the tradition-rich, understated club atmosphere that still feels welcoming and relaxed.
The Not So Good
With the shorter course length, some longer hitters may find it less challenging off the tee, and some members have sought additional modernization of practice facilities. Others have noted that access is highly limited due to private membership, making it hard for guests to experience.
