Kebo Valley
Bar Harbor, Maine
- Address136 Eagle Lake Rd, Bar Harbor, ME 04609, USA
The Kebo Valley course is situated on Mount Desert Island and it belongs to one of the oldest golf clubs in the United States. Formed in 1888, the club entrusted the creation of its original 6-hole layout to Herbert Corey Leeds, and it debuted three years later, around the same time that Leeds was putting the final touches to his celebrated Myopia Hunt course.
Five years further on, another three holes were appended and this 9-hole track remained in play until 1920, when the club acquired an additional 40-acre parcel of land, allowing it to expand the course and establish a full 18-hole layout that measures just over 6,100 yards nowadays.
Nestled between Cadillac and Dorr Mountain in Bar Harbor, the fairways at Kebo Valley are routed in an old-fashioned out-and-back manner close to Acadia National Park, with the 399-yard 13th hole an abiding memory for many as it features chocolate drop mounds in front of a sharply sloping green that tilts from right to left and back to front.
