Penobscot Valley Country Club

Penobscot Valley Country Club sits in Orono, Maine, just outside Bangor, making it one of the northernmost Donald Ross designs in the United States. The course traces its origins to 1924, when the McNulty Farm farmhouse was converted into a clubhouse and Ross was engaged to lay out the 18-hole layout across the property. The terrain produces an open, links-style feel, with the deep bunkering and demanding green complexes characteristic of Ross's work. The club operates as a public facility and carries a single-dollar ($) price designation, making it among the more accessible stops on the Donald Ross New England Trail — a multi-state itinerary spanning Connecticut, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Maine. Penobscot Valley serves as the trail's northernmost anchor and is positioned as an optional Bangor add-on day for groups routing through the region. In April 2025, the club was sold to the owners of Lucerne Country Club.
