The Maine Golf Center in Freeport is a new $3 million, state-of-the-art golf learning facility designed to make the game more accessible for Maine youth and families of all ages, backgrounds, and abilities.
The Marr-Anderson Family Foundation Driving Range features 20 TopTracer-equipped hitting bays, including 10 covered bays, offering interactive games, virtual courses, and swing data for year-round skill development. The upcoming Alexa Re Rancourt Golf Learning Center will further enhance youth programming with a junior-friendly clubhouse, pro shop and snack bar, indoor classroom space, and high-tech simulators for year-round play.
LAUNCHING TOMORROW’S GAME
$3.1 Million Raised Toward the Alexa Re Rancourt Golf Learning Center
We believe that people of all ages, backgrounds, and abilities should be able to enjoy and benefit from the great game of golf. The Golf Learning Center in Freeport aims to provide statewide golf access, education, and instruction, with a focus on growing junior golf and enriching the lives of Maine youth and families.
Thanks to the generosity of individuals, families, foundations, and businesses across Maine, the “Launching Tomorrow’s Game” campaign continues to build momentum as we move toward completion.
Phase One of the Maine Golf Center renovation in Freeport is complete with the opening of the Marr-Anderson Family Foundation Driving Range featuring Toptracer technology. The next phase will focus on building the Alexa Re Rancourt Golf Learning Center, including a new clubhouse and dedicated education space.
Maine Golf continues to welcome gifts of all sizes to help expand access, enrich the lives of young people, and grow the next generation of golfers across the Pine Tree State.
