Lucerne Golf Club

Lucerne Golf Club occupies a hillside above Phillips Lake in the Lucerne-in-Maine village on U.S. Route 1A between Bangor and Ellsworth. Although some directories place it in Holden, the club’s own address is 16 Sunset Road, Dedham, and the adjacent historic Lucerne Inn anchors the resort setting. The club operates as a public nine-hole facility and presents a compact, quick-to-walk loop with lake views and pronounced elevation changes for central Maine. The modern scorecard lists 3,210 yards (par 36) from the back tees, with two par fives, two par threes, and five par fours. Day-to-day details (hours, pricing, and a current scorecard) are published on the club’s website. Third-party listings sometimes note a driving range, but the club’s official pages do not describe extensive practice facilities; players should expect basic services and seasonal public access rather than a large practice complex. In 2023 new ownership committed to improving conditions while honoring the course’s historical character; recent local reporting also documents a safety tunnel installed beneath Route 1A so players no longer need to cross the highway on foot.
