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.
Nice people. Short course
Nice front desk lady made accommodations for myself and my wife. Course itself has some ratty fairways and small but excellent greens Worth playing for sure
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.
Max Braes
Very nice course, very wide fairways.
Greens were in excellent condition.
Great valve!
Course is in great shape. It’s been 20 yrs since I played here last. I definitely Will return. Great valve for the money.
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.
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.
