Course Report
Webhannet is located just one block from Kennebunk Beach and its course is regularly influenced by coastal tides, sometimes making rounds play differently in the same week.
About
Webhannet Golf Club is a classic Maine seaside course designed by Skip Wogan, stretching to 6,100 yards with a par of 71. Set just inland from the Atlantic, it features bentgrass greens, tidal-fed water hazards, and strategic white sand bunkers. The tree-lined fairways and undulating greens provide a charming, old-fashioned challenge amid refreshing ocean breezes.
Caddie Tip
Stay below the hole on your approach shots, as greens often slope subtly but firmly away from you. Watch out for the sea breeze, which can shift suddenly and affect both distance control and club selection, especially on the par-3s.
The Main Challenge
The biggest challenge at Webhannet is contending with the winds sweeping in off the Atlantic and the subtly contoured bentgrass greens. Tight driving corridors, tidal water hazards, and sand traps demand accuracy, especially when conditions change suddenly during the day.
The Good
Golfers rave about the classic seaside experience, with cool ocean breezes, historic neighborhood views, and the thoughtful, understated design that rewards shot placement and offers a timeless feel. The friendly atmosphere and walkable layout make every round memorable and enjoyable for all skill levels.
The Not So Good
Some players cite the lack of modern length and narrow fairways as drawbacks, wishing for updated tee boxes or drainage improvements after rainy periods. Others sometimes mention course access and public tee time availability as areas for potential review.
Signature Hole:
#
6
The 6th hole, 'Port View,' is a par 4 that doglegs left, offering views over the Atlantic. At just over 300 yards, drives must be carefully placed to avoid trees and set up an approach to a receptive green. The hole’s elevated tee and coastal breezes add both beauty and strategic nuance.
Clubhouse
The modest clubhouse offers basic locker facilities, a classic pro shop, and a members’ lounge with coastal views. Food and beverage service is available, with light snacks and drinks to complement traditional New England hospitality.
Practice Facilities
Webhannet offers a solid practice set-up with a putting green and chipping area, ideal for warming up before your round. Space is charming but limited compared to modern resort standards. Seasonal teaching programs and junior clinics are available for members and guests.
