Nice golf course

Was up in Door County on vacation and stop by to play 18. Small :"club" house" but friendly staff. Fairways aren't the best but roughs weren't that bad. Greens were pretty challenging and in decent condition. Sand traps are pretty flat and easy to get out of. Overall it's a nice golf course.

Tougher than it looks

Maxwelton Braes is a pretty flat course that looks benign from the road, but plays harder than that. There are many doglegs that will challenge your fairway positioning, and most of the greens have a few undulations to eliminate straight putts. The greens are in excellent shape, and the fairways are surprisingly good given the dry summer. Overall a good value.

Nice round

The course was in good shape. The rough was relatively short which made finding balls and hitting out of it less difficult. Greens were in good shape, albeit a bit slow. The course is very “playable”. It seemed like the majority of golfers on the course were walking with pull carts. Carts are available and cart paths were only present around the greens and tee boxes.

Best deal

Old course on uneven ground, but a good long course with God greens. Great value for your buck.

Nice little course

Had just finished up a round at another course nearby when I got an email about a "Hot Deal" near me so I booked the tee time and drove over instead of heading home. Nice little course, friendly guy behind the counter and cold beer for only $2.50 a can - score!! Fairways were nice and the greens were in great condition. I had never heard of the course, will definately play again next time we head up to Door County.

Step Back in Time

Course hasn't changed much since 1929 so if you want to know what courses were like back then try MB. They did have a very good beer: Polka King, a local stout. Many nicer courses in Door County, but this is a great value.

Beautiful greens

Nice course for a quick round. The greens were in immaculate condition. The fairways are not irrigated but they played well.
