The Highland Green Golf Club features a challenging nine-hole course nestled in a 650-acre expanse of Midcoast Maine. The Scottish-style course is located on the Coastal Connector in Topsham, Maine, and part of the Highland Green Adult Resort Community. A lodge-style clubhouse, putting green and golf shop are part of the facilities.
The Club promotes ecologically sound land management and the conservation of natural resources. Highland Green Golf Club and resort represent an important balance between nature and planned development.
Tom Emery of Land Use Consultants, Inc. designed the course with assistance from former Golf Magazine editor and New York Times best-selling author Jim Dodson, who served as design consultant. Dodson, who has a special affinity for the courses of Scotland and Ireland, helped design the course as a celebration of the great links courses “across the pond.” The course features mounding, rolling fairways and small crowned greens.
The course was built to blend naturally with the beautifully rugged terrain of Midcoast Maine. Instead of bulldozing and removing features like rock outcroppings and natural ridgelines, these features were incorporated into the design to add to the challenge and uniqueness of the course.
A “shot makers” course, Highland Green Golf Club requires players to carefully consider each shot and use every club in the bag. Each hole has multiple tee boxes in order to provide a challenging and enjoyable venue for golfers of all skill levels.
A lodge-style Clubhouse will offer additional recreational and social opportunities for members and guests. Future Clubhouse plans include a Scottish Pub and community meeting place.
