“as expensive as it is breautiful”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed February 11, 2012

This is a very nice track, well maintained with the beauty of Acadia surrounding the course. The location is close to Bar Harbor and if you want to treat yourself play this course. However you will easily spend $100 or more for the day and the people who workk there think a lot of themselves. Hope you can hit a... More

“Just as good as ever”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed October 10, 2011

I was a member at Kebo until I moved far enough away and grew just enough older to limit the rounds I play, but I played yesterday (10/9/11) and found it to be as great an experience as I remembered; and I very nearly made a par on #8 -- not bad for a 106 "golfer." More

“I never visit Bar Harbor without a trip to Kebo Valley.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed September 22, 2011

I never visit Bar Harbor without a trip to Kebo Valley. It's a great old golf course (one of the oldest in the country), with history, great character, and set in one of the prettiest settings of any course I've played. . . It abuts the national park, so bring your camera. It is accessible but challenging for all skill... More

“A great links course.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed September 7, 2011

This course is a beauty. The layout is a traditional links course and the holes mix it up with great par 3s and longer challenging holes. Overall good condition on the course. We even saw a doe with her fawn cross the course. More

My family and I vacationed in Bar Harbor in August 2011. We had a great time visiting the many fun activities on Mount Desert Island. My personal highlight was playing Kebo Valley Golf Club. From the minute that their staff greeted me upon my arrival to the excellent condition of the golf course, my visit was wonderful. There are some... More

3 of 5 stars Reviewed September 8, 2010

I know that this a very historic club and I appreciate that component. The club and course are nice and grounds are in good shape. That being said it isn't anything spectacular and the layout is ok but nothing overly exciting. To me the course is over priced and if I were to play again in bar harbor I'd try... More
