About Sugarloaf Golf Club

Sugarloaf Golf Club is an 18-hole mountain golf course at the Sugarloaf resort in Carrabassett Valley, Maine. Robert Trent Jones Jr. designed the course after the ski resort's developers sought a summer golf operation to complement winter activities.

The course opened on September 11, 1985. The current USGA Course Rating Database lists the Black tees at par 72, 6,958 yards, with a 75.2 course rating and a slope of 150, making it an unusually demanding rated layout. Jones routed the holes through dense western Maine woodland and alongside the Carrabassett River, using the site's substantial elevation changes as a central part of the design.

The course is an 18-hole mountain golf course. It plays to par 72, 6,958 yards, course rating 75.2 and slope rating 150. Designed by Robert Trent Jones Jr, the course originally opened in 1985. It is open to the public. On-site facilities include Driving Range, Putting Green, Chipping Area, Pro Shop, Club Hire, Golf Lessons, Golf Cart Rental, Restaurant, and 3 more.

Origins

Sugarloaf's ski-resort developers commissioned Robert Trent Jones Jr. to create a golf course that could broaden the resort beyond winter operations. The course officially opened on September 11, 1985.

Did You Know?
Sugarloaf was among the earliest championship mountain courses built in Maine.

Design Philosophy

Jones used the wooded mountain property rather than flattening it into a conventional resort layout. Fairways are separated by forest and the Carrabassett River repeatedly enters the routing, producing an unusually strong sense of individual holes within the larger landscape.

Recognition

Sugarloaf quickly accumulated state and national ranking recognition and helped establish mountain golf as a significant part of Maine's later golf development.

Today

The golf course remains part of Sugarloaf's four-season resort operation and is bookable by the public during its May-to-October golf season.
