The 28.68 acre Great Chebeague Golf Club Historic District on the west side of Chebeague Island is a links-like course which was first laid out by George P. Spalding and Bertrand R.T. Collins, summer residents of the island, in 1920. Originally designed out as a six-hole course, the course was expanded to nine holes by 1923. The formation and evolution of the Club was fueled by summer residents who had begun to season on the islands of Casco Bay at the end of the 19th century. Over time it became an important recreational outlet for the summer residents of the Island and the surrounding islands of Casco Bay. The resources within the historic district include the golf course and club house, as well as an early cemetery and several bridges and utility buildings that date to the late 20th century. The Great Chebeague Golf Club was listed in the National Register of Historic Places at the local level of significance for its association with entertainment and recreation on Great Chebeague Island. The period of significance begins when the course was first laid out in 1920 and ends fifty years before the present.
