Jato Highlands

JaTo Highlands Golf Course opened in 1999 in Lincoln, in Maine's Penobscot River country, with the stated mission of offering a pleasurable round to golfers of every level. Course directories credit the design to Tom Gardner. The semi-private eighteen plays to a par of 72 across rolling hills and through stands of hardwood forest, and its higher ground opens up views of Mount Katahdin along with the surrounding lakes and hills. At a little under 6,000 yards from the back tees, the layout rewards accuracy more than raw length, and reviewers have noted its domed greens and an elevated, old-style feel. In 2024 the club outlined a round of improvements, including a new clubhouse with a restaurant, reworked landscaping at the 18th tee and 17th green, new drainage and bunkers on the 15th hole, and an expanded 10th hole, a sign of continued investment in one of northern Maine's most scenic public layouts.
