Door County hosts one of the best getaway locations in the state and has one well-known public golf course that I’m sure many of you have played. Peninsula State Park has an 18 hole course and 6 hole short course on property and is located in Ephraim, designed by Larry Packard. He also designed Mascoutin, Brown County, and Glacier Wood GC for reference. There were 6 holes opened in 1917, 9 in 1923, and all 18 in 1931. They added the short course in 2014. Peninsula State Park Golf Course is a relatively straightforward parkland course with some awesome elevation changes and breathtaking views of the waters of Green Bay. Specifically #8 is a 69 yard par 3 (nice) with a 50 foot drop from tee to green. 17 is also a downhill par 3 but is much longer playing at 186 from the tips. There are some sneaky tough holes on the back 9 including dog legs on 10 and 11, while the front 9 is relatively straightforward. The greens are average size and fairways are cut like a typical muni. The green speed and conditions of the course are also muni-like, slow and in ok shape. The value of this course is decent considering it’s one of the few courses in the busy tourist area of Door County and the scenic views it hosts. A typical round with a cart is around $59, but it depends when you play. Peninsula State Park Golf Course is a good course that isn’t too difficult with great location and even better views.
