It might not yet be golfing weather in the northernmost reaches of the US, but that doesn't mean it's too early to start planning for it. The Samoset Resort is an ideal place for a relaxing golf getaway. Located on Penobscot Bay, it offers 178 rooms and suites plus four cottages and multiple on-site restaurants and lounges. The on-site championship golf course is the real jewel, of course, and if you're looking to get as close the action as possible, book your foursome into the Flume Cottage, which boasts ocean views, a full kitchen, use of a four-passenger golf cart, a private deck with a grill and hot tub, and is located right off the 15th fairway.
