The Aroostook Valley Country Club is a golf course which straddles the Canada–US border. The club has its course (except part of the tee area for the ninth hole, and possibly part of a sand trap on the first hole) and clubhouse on the Canadian side of the border. Its parking lot and pro shop are on the American side. Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, the golf course could be accessed from both the US and Canadian sides, but now it can only be accessed from Canada.
The Aroostook Valley Country Club is a golf course that straddles the Canada–US border, between the U.S. state of Maine and the Canadian province of New Brunswick. The club, located near Southern Victoria, New Brunswick and Fort Fairfield, Maine, has its course and clubhouse on the Canadian side of the border. Its parking lot and pro shop are on the American side. Although the course is located entirely on one side of the border, three holes are close enough to the border that crooked shots can enter the United States. The club was founded in 1929; its position on the border allowed American golfers to bypass Prohibition without passing through customs. Club membership was previously roughly half Canadian and half American. With tougher access requirements since the height of the pandemic, American membership has fallen by close to 70%.

Roughly one mile away from the New Brunswick, Canada border, this wooden blockhouse played a critical role in protecting Maine timber interests during a dispute which took place in the 1830s referred to as the Aroostook War. The original structure was dismantled and rebuilt in the 1970s.
