Very good economically priced golf experience. Being a slower swinging "older" golfer a solid set of senior tees would be a plus. 6400 yards is a long haul. A number of your par 4s
that are comfortably over 400 yards are not reachable for older golfers and that detracts from the enjoyment. We played the day after some moderate rain and thought the greens were slow. This was my 4th time playing the course and I would say the greens are always a little slow.
All in all it is a great value and very enjoyable golf experience!!!

The ONLY possible issue was with the current state of covid anxiety. We were 4 senior golfers and only allowed 2 carts. Management said it was due to a limited number of carts. One of our players did not feel comfortable riding with a another player and subsequently chose to walk even though the cart was paid for. I thought with the pandemic courses were prepared to accommodate social distancing concerns.

Brighton dale is a fantastic peblic facility. 45 holes and not a bad one in the bunch. We had played the Blue course since the monsoons of 6 to 8 weeks ago. That course sits a little higher and the lasting damage was alot less than on the White, which we played yesterday. There are areas that show the lasting effects of "storm of the century" type rain. Everything was playable and the greens and tees were the usual excellent quality. I never hesitate to play Brightondale, especially coupled with GolfNow Hot Deals.

Quite a mix of holes, from easy par fours (under 3 bills), to double dog-leg 500+ yd par 5. 13,14 &15 may be the 3 toughest consecutive holes in SE Wis. Course is in great fall shape. Greens appear to have already been aerated and are well healed, perhaps a little on the slow side compared to summer conditions. Leaves are only a minor issue and they were attending to them while we were there. Course was basically empty. Quite a shame with the GolfNow deals and beautiful fall weather. Hope to play there once more before the season comes to a screeching halt.

Being familiar with this course I would say that no matter what other variables might exist, the greens are always in perfect condition. This was not the case on 8/8. From my understanding there were large outings 2 days in a row. We played minutes after the conclusion of the 2nd outing. There was evidence of the previous days festivities, i.e. chalk circles on the greens and such as well as new circles from that days play. They needed to be cut and rolled in the worst way. They may have ben the slowest greens I've played on this year.
That being said, in all other facets, the course was in very good condition. It can de chalked up to being there at the wrong time. With the course's reputation I would not hesitate to return.

This is a great hunk of real estate that has obviously been neglected for quite some time. I understand that at one time this was quite a golf course but that previous ownership had allowed for the decline. Current staff seems, quite aware of the conditions and well intentioned. With the amount of traffic present on a Friday afternoon, there should be the start of an influx in the capital that will be required to get this course back on its feet. Unfortunately, with limited golf resources at my disposal, I would not return while the course is in the present state. Should I return to Door County, I would rather pay a little bit more for another DC attraction.

Played here 2 days in a row. Played red/white 1st day, white/blue on day 2. Made for a feel of 2 unique courses. Conditions on all of the nines were equally good. Only drawback was standing water in some bunkers. Despite recent heavy rains greens were in almost perfect condition. We were a 2-some. Singlle we were paired with was a great guy. Made for a perfect afternoon.

Despite recent monsoons the course was in excellent shape with the exception of the bunkers. Those held alot of standing water and did not, obviously, drain as well as the rest of the course. Only possible drawback was that we went as a 2-some. One of the 2 singles we were paired with proved to wear on our mojo as the round went on. If not for that frustration it would have been quite the perfect afternoon.

The course was in fantastic shape. Greens seemed a little slower than what I expected, but with the trickiness of the greens anything faster would have been exasperating. Low putts in our 4-some was 39, and that guy is probably the best putter I play with. What is needed is a straight ball and some local knowledge which would only come from multiple rounds. It is a course that I woudn't pay regular prices for, but with a "HotDeal" special it is affordable. I'm glad I played the course but felt like I was playing "scared" with how narrow and tricky it is.

This is a top notch golf course. With lousy weather course is not in mid-season form. Alot of the greens were not pretty, although putts rolled fairly true. Green speed was down somewhat I would think. I would absolutely recommend the course and would love to play it again in mid-July or August.

Greens were in outstanding condition. Some of the pin placements were questionable. Everything condition wise, was very good. Almost every hole has trouble in at least one direction. A modest amount of accuracy is vital. There are places to lose a ball on just about every hole and there are opportunities to score on just about every hole. It is amply challenging for an under 6000 yd. course. It was a very enjoyable round.

For a mid-October round the course was in excellent condition. Greens have not and apparently will not be aeriated this fall on the Blue Course. Fairways, tee-boxes, sandtraps, etc., all were in mid-season shape. Greens would not be categorized as lightening fast. They were however, in excellent shape and all putts rolled very true. I have played the 2 Brightondale courses numerous times this year and hope I can sneak another chance in before the season ends.

The weather was the only ? in otherwise tremendous golf experience. The course is in perfect condition. Greens that should have been very soggy putted fast and true. Fairways, tee boxes, and just about every aspect was impeccable. Because of impending rain, we had the golf course to ourselves.
This course is usually a little pricey for me on a regular basis. With GolfNow vaues added it is also affordable. This course has probablly the best set of par 3's I have ever played. 4 tee boxes make it playable for absolutely every level of golfer. Signature hole par 5 #7 is a beast from any tee box. From the tips this is as tough a course as you can play.
I can't say enough good things about the experience.

I was very impressed with the experience at Maplecrest CC. Greens were as good as I have played on this year. Green speed was very fast and the greens themselves were in very good condition. For a course that is pretty heavily played I thought that those greens were maintained at a very high level. For a public play course, fairways, traps etc., were all very well maintained. The course has everything from a 613 yd. par 5 to a 115 yd. par 3. I would not categorize it as brutishly tough, yet all levels of golfers with the exception of minimum handicappers, would be amply challenged.

This is a great golf course. Two circumstances made it a dissappointing round. #1: The starter informed us that the greens were recently aeriated and that we probably wouldn't notice. We noticed. The practice green was probably at an 11 or 12. The actual greens were probably at a 2, with a ski hill mogul feel to them. #2: Pace of play. It was the longest round of the year. With a 1:48 tee time we played the 18th in the dark.
I understand greens need to be maintained and with the GolfNow hot deal I believe we paid an appropriate price for the condition of the greens. The pace of a play is a different issue, one that I wish could have been addressed properly by the more than ample staff which made its presence known. I'm glad I had the opportunity to play this course for the price we did. I cannot afford the regular rates.

Fireridge is in wonderful condition with the exception of the 3rd green. It appeared that this green had been aerated some time ago and has not come back. The rest of the greens were in exceptional condition. The day we played the pins seemed to be in tough spots (US OPEN type spots). This made the putter a cruel weapon in alot of cases. The course, however, is obviously not meant to be a push over and likewise did not disappoint. This course is usually out of my price range. With a GolfNow "hot deal" however it becomes an attractive destination.

I play Edgewood alot. I'm always satisfied with the experience. On this occassion, the condition of the greens was questionable. I would say just about half of them had been recently aeriated. while I completely understand that courses need to do this at this time of year, there was no rhyme or reason to these greens. The first green was perfect. I even commented that it was probably one of the best greens I had putt on all season. the second green was similar. After that it became a guessing game. Some had been worked on and some not. There was no pattern to the work that had been done. Some appeared to have been aeriated in the last 24 hrs. Some perhaps a week before. There was no way of telling what condition a given green was in until you were close enough to actually see it. While I enjoyed the round whole heartedly I will say that I never encountered such random conditions on a course before.

This course was in much better condition than when I played there a year ago. One must approach this course with the knowledge that it is a county course. Some of the tee boxes could be equipped with a sledge hammer for tee insertion. Sand traps were minimal at best. Greens were actually in better condition than I had remembered. Still some greens are rather poorly designed and provide quite a "gimmicky" feel. They remind me of some of the greens at Brown Deer before they renovated in anticipation of the PGA coming there. However, with a golf now hot deal it does provide for an enjoyable round of golf.

This has always been a favorite course of mine. Every hole is unique and the difficulty levels are very diverse. The course is well maintained and the greens are almost always in excellent shape. It is a bit of a ride from the metro Milw. area but if you have the time I find it worth the effort. Between the course itself and golf now there are always resonable rates to be found.

This course can play quite differently depending on the tee boxes you choose. From the white tees, where we played, there were challenges on most holes, but all holes were playable provided you put the ball in play off the tee. It is a different beast from the tips. Golfers with double digit handicaps might find the course too frustrating from the rear tees. The forward tees take alot of the sting out of the course and allow for play from high handicappers of either gender.
The variety makes for a very excessible course for all talent levels.
