A Legacy of Design Excellence
Designed by legendary golf course architect Robert Trent Jones Jr., the layout is as dramatic as it is thoughtful. The course is carved into the mountains of Western Maine, with sweeping elevation changes and views that stretch for miles.
Robert Trent Jones Jr. is one of the most renowned golf course architects in the world. Son of the legendary Robert Trent Jones Sr., he has designed or remodeled over 300 golf courses across six continents and in more than 40 countries. His designs are celebrated for blending natural beauty with strategic challenges, creating courses that are both visually stunning and enjoyable to play.
In 2023, Robert Trent Jones Jr. made his first return to Sunday River Golf Club since the course opened in 2005. As he walked the course, he recalled every detail—the elevation shifts, green complexes, and design elements—a testament to the artistry and intentionality behind the course's creation.
A Course for Every Season
Each part of the golf season offers something unique at Sunday River. Early summer brings lush greens and cool mornings. Mid-season offers long, sun-soaked days and late-afternoon tee times. By fall, the course transforms with vibrant foliage, offering one of the most scenic rounds in the Northeast.
But it’s not just the changing seasons that make this course so special. The design itself blends seamlessly with the natural landscape, challenging players while offering breathtaking views with every swing. Jones Jr.’s philosophy of combining beauty with strategy creates a course that’s not only a test of skill but a visual experience.
