Why we love this place
We love Dutch Elm for its no-fuss, old-school public golf. Sixty years of well-kept fairways, true bentgrass greens and a walkable layout make it a reliable favorite for locals and summer visitors alike. A short hop from the Kennebunks, it is golf the way it should be.

About Dutch Elm Golf Club
Dutch Elm Golf Club is a public eighteen-hole course on Brimstone Road in Arundel, in southern Maine's York County, a short drive from the summer towns of the Kennebunks. Course directories date its opening to 1965 and credit the design to architect Lucien Bourque. The club bills itself as eighteen holes of championship golf, and the layout features bentgrass greens and is walkable throughout, a draw for golfers who like to play on foot. A driving range and on-site teaching professionals round out the facility, making it a practical place both to play and to work on the game. For six decades the course has served as a dependable, well-kept public option for local players and for the many summer visitors who come to this stretch of the southern Maine coast, and it remains a steady, unpretentious presence in the region's public golf scene, valued by players who simply want a good, fair round at a fair price.
