Local Area Guide

Great Chebeague Golf Club Travel Guide

We built this guide so your team doesn't have to figure it all out from a Google search. Neighborhoods, restaurants, game day logistics, local tips — it's all here.

Welcome to Great Chebeague Golf Club, a premier destination for golfers seeking a quintessential New England island experience. This guide is crafted for players, families, and small groups planning a visit, offering essential orientation for navigating the course, the island, and surrounding amenities. Discover practical tips for a smooth arrival, understanding the rhythm of a round, and maximizing your enjoyment of Chebeague Island's unique charm. Prepare to immerse yourself in a relaxed, scenic golfing environment where the game meets the natural beauty of Maine's coast.

Section 01

Neighborhood Overview

Great Chebeague Golf Club is situated on Chebeague Island, one of Maine's larger Casco Bay islands, offering a distinct departure from the mainland hustle. Access is primarily via ferry service from Yarmouth, Maine, with a smaller passenger ferry option from Portland. The island itself is relatively small, with a year-round population that swells in the warmer months. Main access to the island is via ferry, and once on the island, navigating to the golf club is straightforward via car, bicycle, or even on foot depending on your starting point. Drive times are minimal due to the island's size, but ferry schedules dictate arrival and departure times. Visitors should plan their travel to align with ferry departures, as missing a ferry can significantly alter your day's itinerary. Consider the scenic 30-40 minute ferry ride from Yarmouth as part of your arrival experience, embracing the island's slower pace. Rideshare options are extremely limited to nonexistent on the island itself, making personal vehicles, island taxis, or bicycles the most practical modes of transport once you disembark.

Section 02

Where to Stay

Accommodations on Chebeague Island are limited, with the Chebeague Island Inn being the most prominent option, often booking up well in advance, especially during peak golf season. Other rental properties and a few smaller guesthouses may be available, but they are scattered and require early booking. The golf club itself is a central point for many island visitors, but most hotels are located off-island in Portland or nearby coastal towns. Staying on the mainland requires a deliberate plan to catch the ferry, which has specific schedules and can be affected by weather. For those prioritizing convenience, booking lodging on Chebeague Island itself, if available, is highly recommended. When searching for accommodations, filter by proximity to the ferry terminals in Yarmouth or Portland, and always factor in ferry transit time. Booking several months in advance is a wise strategy, particularly for weekends or during summer events.

Round Day Flow

Check-In & Warm-Up

Upon arrival at the Chebeague Island Ferry Terminal, make your way to the Great Chebeague Golf Club. Plan to arrive at least 45 minutes before your tee time to allow for ferry transit, travel across the island, and course check-in. The pro shop serves as your first point of contact for registration, rental clubs, and any last-minute questions about course conditions. Utilize the practice putting green or chipping area to get a feel for the greens and prepare your short game. Familiarize yourself with the starter's instructions, including any course-specific rules or pace of play expectations.

Mid-Day Regroup

Pace of play on Chebeague Island is generally relaxed, but keeping a good rhythm is important. Take advantage of the turn between nines for a brief pause. The clubhouse offers a casual spot for a quick snack or beverage if needed, though many groups prefer to maintain momentum. If you have a larger gap between morning and afternoon rounds, or during a break in play, consider a short visit to the Island General Store for refreshments or to explore nearby scenic spots. Ensure you have adequate hydration and any necessary snacks to sustain your energy levels throughout the round.

Wrap-Up & Departure

After completing your final hole, return your carts and clubs as directed by course staff. Settle any outstanding balances or fees at the pro shop. If you enjoyed your round, consider a leisurely meal or drink at the Chebeague Island Inn to discuss your game and the island's beauty. Allow ample time to return to the ferry terminal for your scheduled departure, especially if you need to catch a specific ferry back to the mainland. Check the ferry schedule in advance to coordinate your departure from the island with your mainland travel plans.
