About

Holes 18
Type Semi-Private
Style Traditional
Par 72
Length 6523 yards
Slope 135
Rating 71.7

Situated near the Webhannet River and just minutes from the ocean, Old Marsh Country Club started as swampy marshland before being transformed into a traditional, Florida-style golf course set amongst a beautiful coastal landscape. The challenging layout demands strategy and will definitely test your skills, but the more difficult elements are balanced by generous landing areas. Keeping the ball towards the center of the fairway is the key to many of the holes or else you'll be met with tricky hazards. The seventh hole, named "Pinehurst," is a particularly memorable hole. Designed as an homage to the famous North Carolina course's putting surfaces, this par-4 requires you to keep your ball in play off the tee to a circular landing area before a second shot to an undulating green.

December golf... :-)

Book through golfnow at a very nice price. The course was almost empty... it was December 22! The course was in pretty good shape, nice fairways and tees. The greens were punched, a little sandy, but were in a good shape for this time of the year. Nice practice and chipping putting green, no range, but you can hit balls in a huge net. Very nice course and very challenging. You have to say in the fairway and avoid the marshes.

A Great Walking Course

I player Old Marsh on two consecutive days in early November. The course and greens were still in good condition. I played the blue tees on day one and the gold tees on day two. Both set of tees are challenging. Old Marsh is definitely a target shot golf course requiring discipline to score well.

The staff was friendly. The facilities were clean and well maintained. Old Marsh is a great walking golf course. The course is relatively flat and the distance between holes is minimal. I saw an equal amount of golfers walking as compared to golfers in the electric carts.

I look forward to playing Old Marsh in the summer in 2016. It is my new favorite course in Southern Maine.

Journée idéale pour le golf

23 degré Celsius, un peu de vent et pas de nuage, vive le golf
Terrain en bonne condition sauf que... Beaucoup de blind shot, de shot de précision qui sont difficile à évaluer même avec un GPS
Accueil très froid au pro shop, en plus pas d'indication où prendre le cart, pas de préposé au départ, on devait s'arranger seul. Ils ont piqués plusieurs tertres de départ ce matin là. Par contre les employés sur le terrain arrêtaient, généralement, lorsqu'on devait frapper. Et un coup de chapeau à l'employé qui a pris le temps de déplacer une tortue (grosse) qui se trouvait sur la route (maison sur le golf) et qui risquait de se faire écraser

Great layout and challenge

Course was in excellent shape, starter was extremely helpful providing tips on how to manage the course.

Lots of variety, had to think on almost every hole. Only used driver twice, on back 9.

Great value for the money, one of the better courses in New England area with a resort feel.

In beautiful shape...

Old Marsh was in tremendous condition. Fairways were lush, yet cut very tight. Greens were rolling true. course had undergone several changes since I'd last played in 11'. I drove erratically on front 9 and paid the price. holes 3-5 are very punishing to wayward tee shots.
A very fun, challenging course that requires a solid repertoire of shots.

Good Value

Good value at $49.95/player with cart. Blind holes 10 & 18 for first time players sneaky hazards. Great condition for late August. No yardage book available which would have made a big difference in club selection.

Keep the ball in play.

Fair course, but keep the ball in play. Straight rather than long is much better here. Fairways in good condition for the most part, greens true and generally fair. Not an easy course first time around.

Good at Golf Now fee

This is a target course with some quirky holes. Would not recommend it if your handicap is above 20. We played for $ 25 each (thanks to Golf Now) which made it more enjoyable. I would never pay the "public" price to play this course.

Interesting challenge very much worth playing.

Nice design in good condition. Not overly long, but challenging nonetheless. I played the back tees and the architect only gives you a view from the tee box of a fraction of the fairway. As a result, until you get to know the course, you think you're shooting to a much smaller landing area than you really are. This mind game will effect your game unless you drive up and have a look at he fairways before you tee off. Excellent , huge, undulating practice putting green.

Great course not so great pressure

The course Is in amazing shape and other than a few odd U shaped holes there was good variety and I loved the big rolling greens. Not a tremendously long course. Didn't need to use driver much but that may also be preference. The issue I had was that we had a twosome and finished the first hole and were already being told to hurry up. We were going at a decent pace and this was not warranted whatsoever. They seemed to have squeezed in a single person between us and the group that had the tee time after us. We then felt rushed and it effected our enjoyment and quality of play. We ended up catching the group in front of us and waiting for them on the back nine (which was not a long wait nor a problem). We finished our 18 in 3.5 hours and were not happy that we were rushed from the start without even having a chance to get going. Great quality of course but be prepared to be watched for your pace of play

First Visit

Course was in great condition but it was our first time playing it, so not knowing where to miss hurt on a few holes. Target golf was fun but I found myself hitting the same 3 clubs all day. Not the place to play if you feel like hitting driver.
