Frequently Asked Questions

How do I even get to Frye Island Golf Club, and what should I know about the ferry?

This is crucial – you're heading to an island, so the ferry is part of the adventure. Plan your tee time around the ferry schedule, especially for your return trip, as they don't run all night. We recommend arriving at the ferry dock at least 30 minutes before departure to ensure you don't miss your slot, especially on a busy summer weekend.

When's the best time of year to play Frye Island, and what kind of course conditions can I expect?

Hands down, mid-summer (July and August) is your sweet spot for the best weather and course conditions. The greens are typically well-maintained, and the fairways are lush, though don't expect PGA tour-level manicuring – it's a charming island course. Early fall offers beautiful foliage but can be a bit chillier, so pack layers.

Is Frye Island Golf Club a challenging course, and what are its standout holes or features?

It's not going to beat you up like a championship course, but it offers plenty of fun challenges, especially with its shorter, tighter layout. Keep an eye out for the par-3 7th, which offers a fantastic view of Sebago Lake, and the tricky dogleg on the 9th demands a precise tee shot. The real highlight is the relaxed, friendly atmosphere and the stunning natural setting.

What's the typical cost to play Frye Island, and is it worth the trip?

You'll find the greens fees here are incredibly reasonable, especially when you factor in the unique island experience – it's definitely a great value. Expect to pay around $35-$50 for 9 holes, plus a small ferry fee for your vehicle, which makes it an affordable day out. We absolutely think it's worth the trip for a laid-back, scenic round.

Since it's an island, what else can I do on Frye Island besides golf?

Absolutely make a day of it! After your round, grab a casual bite at the island's general store or one of the small eateries. You can also rent a kayak or paddleboard to explore Sebago Lake, or simply relax on one of the small beaches. It's a perfect spot for a low-key, family-friendly escape.
