Nice Round

Decent course. The tees and greens are great. Fairways are okay. The sand can be wicked in some of the bunkers because they have really high lips. Overall a fun round with a good pace.

Great day trip

Booked a round with friends while camping in the area. The course was in real good shape, golf carts were clean and new. Pace of play was a little slow due to a slow 3 sum in front but they let us play through on the 10th hole.

It’s a golf course

I would compare this course to a slightly above average municipal course. It’s not hard, fairways are wide and bad shots aren’t penalized on most holes. No forced carries that I recall. Greens were in decent shape. There was some brownout of fairways but at 150 plus, basically places you shouldn’t be anyway. Greens were easy to read. There are better options in door county but if the tee sheets are full consider this course.

Desert Storm

For this time of year expected better conditions. Fairways are brown and very hard. Many areas with no grass. Greens and t boxes are ok. I have played here several times and unfortunately, I can not rate this higher than a 1. I would pass on playing here until conditions change.

Wild, Built-up, Undulating Greens

Always been a fan of Joe Roseman and George O’Neil golf courses. These Golden Age architects designed solid golf courses with terrific greens. MB is no exception. I loved the numerous fairway bunkers that remained. One has to

Conquer this course through the air to get around the many bunkers.

Door County Golf

Golf course needs work. The white tee boxes are ok but the red and gold are just tee markers randomly placed in the grass. Sand traps are not good. Grass , weeds and dandelions all around most traps aren’t very appealing to the eye. It could be much better with some TLC.

Great conditions as always

Don’t need your snorkel, there’s no water hazards here. But today I landed in a bunker on seven holes on the front! But that’s not the course’s fault, haha! Easy course to play, always relaxing. Carts are new this year which is a treat. Lots of birdie opportunities for a 10 handicapper.

Nice Round

The course is in good shape thanks to recent rain that we’ve had. It was busy and there were several groups of “vacationing “ golfers but the pace was decent.

They did a real good job of virus prevention.
