Northward Ho! Golf: A Brief History of Mount Kineo Golf Course

By Tom Buggy

A brief history of the evolution of the Mount Kineo Golf Course on a peninsula that projects into Moosehead Lake amid the North Woods of Maine. This course, which is accessible only by a boat shuttle, is believed to be the second oldest course in New England and is noted for its outstanding natural beauty below an ancient volcanic rock formation that rises to almost 800 feet above the lake. It is likely that golf started there in some form in 1884 as part of an elaborate resort that featured a five-story hotel and fishing, hiking, camping and hunting as other amenities. The resort no longer exists but the golf course remains.
