Hotels in Aroostook Valley Country Club
Aroostook Valley Country Club sits astride the Maine and New Brunswick border, one of the few courses anywhere where a single round is played across two countries. Golfers basing themselves here choose between the club's own fairways and a wide arc of Maritime lodging, from lakeside lodges to seaside inns.
Golfers who base themselves here are really choosing a border region, not a single town: Aroostook Valley Country Club's clubhouse stands in Maine, its back nine drifts into New Brunswick, and the closest beds spread out along both sides of the Saint John River valley. Booking here means picking a style of stay first, because the options range from working country lodges with kitchens and hot tubs to century-old seaside inns near the Fundy coast. Cell service and border formalities are part of the logistics, so most groups plan the crossing once and settle into a single lodge for the trip rather than shuttling daily. Airport transfers run long by regional standards, usually well over an hour by taxi, which rewards travelers who build in a slow first evening.

FAQ
Is Aroostook Valley Country Club really on the US-Canada border?
Yes, the club's clubhouse sits in Maine while part of the course extends into New Brunswick, making border logistics a genuine part of planning a stay here.
How far is lodging from the course itself?
Listed stays spread widely across the border region, from nearby country lodges to inns closer to the Fundy coast, so travel time varies by which base you pick.
Do I need my passport to golf here?
Since play crosses an international border, golfers should carry a valid passport or enhanced ID, the same as for any border crossing in the region.
Are these stays good for a golf group or just couples?
Both work well: kitchen-equipped lodges and cottages suit larger groups splitting costs, while smaller inns and B&Bs fit couples wanting a quieter base.
