My favorite course

Of the hundreds of courses that I have played from Florida, to Arizona, to my home state of Missouri, this is my favorite course. We plan vacations around coming to play the course, and it is my favorite in Door County, as well everywhere else.

Always Great to Play Peninsula

Course in the same great condition it always is despite excessive heat this week. Greens are fast and true. Excellent customer service. Be aware, no beverage cart service due to Covid-19. Love playing at Peninsula!

Great improvement

I’ve played the course for many years and this was the best ever, The course has been greatly improved both greens and fairways .

Even with the Covid virus affecting amenities, it was still a great day.

The “6 hole short course” is such a great practice bonus.

Excellent Fall Color In Northern Wisconsin

Had a great time playing at Peninsula. Some tight holes, but overall a fun, hilly, scenic and colorful fall round in Door County!

Fun Course for Door County

This was my 2nd time playing this course. It's 1 of the few that can be found in Door County WI. It is a very well maintained course and other than the quirky hole #8 pretty straightforward. Some of the most amazing views can be found scattered throughout the course as well. Front nine plays much like a muni course, shorter, straight or slightly dog legged holes. The back 9 is a whole other game. I don't know the history of this course yet the back seems to have been carved out of the side of the mountain as an after thought at times. Still fund to play yet a few of the holes can become a train wreck from 1 bad tee shot.

Peninsula is paradise!

The perfectly designed quintessential Wisconsin north woods golf course, Peninsula takes full advantage of the beautiful terrain. Just simply perfect! If I don't play Peninsula at least twice a year my life is not complete!

Nice Course

I made the reservation with Golf Now and they charged me too much. The course had a twilight and was half the price. Because a storm came in we had to quit after 11 holes. Bummer times two.

Idyllic!!!

The course is great, somewhat challenging, and fun to play; but the real joy of this course is it's idyllic setting! If you had to dream up a course and where to put it, I would dream up this course and put it right where it is on the escarpment over Green Bay in Door County. A must play course for anyone!!!

Beware ladies

I was really looking forward to playing this course, but unfortunately one rude and condescending employee ruined the experience. I was playing with my husband and two other gentlemen. As I was standing on the fourth tee box, a ranger pulled up and asked the guys ‘’Does she know that she can hit from the reds?’ My husband replied we are all hitting from the whites. We were then told that they can track the carts, and we were running 4-5 minutes behind. Actually after the third hole one of the guys had to use the bathroom which took a few minutes, but apparently they can’t track that. I certainly hope this course’s staff rethinks how they address players and their pace. It is so unprofessional and unacceptable to target the female in the group as the source of the problem. For the record, our group finished in under four hours.

Lifetime review

I have played this golf course since age 7. That's 60 years and seen wonderful changes made. The golf course was in excellent shape this year as it usually is. Wonderful challenging layout, great people and a wonderful experience playing with new family members again this year. Still managed a 74, about average for me. Favorite memory would be my hole in one on 17 at age 16 with a 5 iron. Even with the Covid 19 situation all went very well again this year. Hoping to play again next season.

Way too slow

Need course marshal out there to keep things moving. Had too many way too slow golfers just standing around in front of us looking at each other’s balls instead of playing. Quit after 9 holes. Not acceptable.
