Best golf on the Peninsula

The back nine in particular in really interesting.

I love how this course challenges you to judge distance of uphill/ downhill shots correctly.

Also you need to keep driver in control.

Someone who can shape a 4 iron and hit putts can post a low score here. That's not me though.

Slow Play

Course was in good condition. The greens are slow. Sand traps are not maintained due to the virus, but the course doesn’t rake before or after rounds. Play was extremely slow due to walkers. It appeared that the walkers ran out of gas due to the hills on the back nine.

Beautiful Golf Course!

Up in Door County on vacation and stopped in for a round of golf here and WOW! What a beautiful golf course, the views are amazing (especially on 10). The staff was super friendly and the greens were in good condition. A few of the greens were being repaired due to ice damage but they did a good job on adjusting it where it was needed. If you are in Door County and golf, you owe it to yourself to golf here.

Hidden Gem!

Very nice course with fantastic views! Extreme elevation changes make this course very interesting. Views of Green Bay from many holes are distracting because they are so pretty. The course was in excellent shape. The greens were immaculate especially for this late in the season.

Peninsula is my favorite course!

Peninsula State Park Golf Course (also known as “Peninsula” or “The Park”) is my favorite golf course. My family owns a home in Door County but I don’t live there but always look forward to playing here! It offers a beautifully green course with a number of very unique holes that played once allow the golfer to devise a good strategy for play. There are also a number of stunning views overlooking Green Bay and the Door Peninsula.

The course is very well maintained and the folks that work there are quite helpful. I generally play early morning golf in the summer which will leave time for lunch around 11:30 or so at the club house if you feel like staying. The hamburgers there are great!
The course is older… circa 1921… but don’t let the age fool you. It is modern and fun in every sense of the word. There are a number of unique holes such as the Par 3 #8 which calls for nothing more than a sand or lob wedge from the highly elevated tee box onto a large green. Hitting your ball across the driveway behind the green results in a penalty as it is the out of bounds location – the ranger if present will remind you of that… he did to me! The approach to the #15 green gives a beautiful view of the water while looking across the par 3 #17 hole… aptly named, “A Beastly Beauty.” #15 is a hard dogleg left when you clear the bottom of the hill at the dogleg, you ring a bell to let the people behind you know it is clear to play. The par 3#17 is a highly elevated green which is a 174 yard shot down to a sloped green which itself is elevated, but not to the extent that the tee box is. It’s a fun hole to play… but an uphill put is preferable to a downhill putt here.

There are many other courses in Door County but Peninsula is the most fun and beautiful course on the peninsula for my money. If you play it, I don’t think you’ll be disappointed in any way.
