Reviews for Brown Deer Golf Course

It’s probably my favorite stop all season, it’s in amazing shape, I can’t believe it’s a public course, I love it. – Sophia Popov, Symetra Tour player

The fairways are mowed to perfection and the greens roll smooth and true. Holes have character and vary greatly. Some holes are challenging but they are balanced out by holes where you can easily score low. Facilities are excellent.

1

PAR 4

1st HOLE

The drive on this long par 4 must be in the left-center of the fairway for the player to see the entire putting surface. Long second shots to a heavily-bunkered green are required.

Yardage: 461

Yardage: 433

Yardage: 341

Yardage: 341

2

PAR 4

2nd HOLE

This is one of the most difficult holes on the course. Players must drive across the creek through a narrow opening to the elbow of a dogleg-left. The hole features a long, uphill second shot to an undulating green.

Yardage: 417

Yardage: 384

Yardage: 307

Yardage: 307

3

PAR 3

3rd HOLE

The third hole may look easy, but a narrow opening between trees makes the tee shot difficult. The green slopes severely from back to front, where it is guarded by a large bunker.

Yardage: 171

Yardage: 158

Yardage: 145

Yardage: 101

4

PAR 5

4th HOLE

This short par 5 plays downhill from the tee to a landing area protected on the left by trees. Approach shots to the small green are over a creek.

Yardage: 485

Yardage: 475

Yardage: 465

Yardage: 465

5

PAR 3

5th HOLE

This hole plays uphill to a putting surface surrounded by three large bunkers. Wind could be a factor here. A large green offers numerous pin placements, the most difficult of which is back-right.

Yardage: 164

Yardage: 145

Yardage: 136

Yardage: 114

6

PAR 5

6th HOLE

This hole, the most difficult par 5 on the course, features a large landing area that narrows, with two trees in the fairway as you approach the green. The long, narrow putting surface has a ridge running through its center.

Yardage: 556

Yardage: 530

Yardage: 471

Yardage: 440

7

PAR 3

7th HOLE

The toughest par 3 on the course, this hole is difficult because of the long tee shot and narrow green, which is bunkered on three sides.

Yardage: 215

Yardage: 203

Yardage: 174

Yardage: 123

8

PAR 4

8th HOLE

Players tee off from back in the woods to the corner of this dogleg-left. Trees on the left will block sight of the green if the drive is short or left. While short-iron second shots are the rule here, this hole has proven to be the most difficult on the front nine.

Yardage: 436

Yardage: 397

Yardage: 383

Yardage: 316

9

PAR 4

9th HOLE

This short par 4 provides a break from the more difficult eighth and tenth holes, if you stay in the fairway. The heavily-bunkered green will be difficult to hit from the deep rough. Long hitters may take aim at the green from a forward tee position.

Yardage: 359

Yardage: 339

Yardage: 289

Yardage: 289

10

PAR 4

10th HOLE

A demanding hole because of the straight drive required, this par 4 features a narrow green protected by bunkers on both sides. As many bogeys as birdies will be made here.

Yardage: 447

Yardage: 423

Yardage: 410

Yardage: 321

11

PAR 3

11th HOLE

Water and sand on the players left present most of the problems on this hole. The contoured green, which slopes toward the hazards from right to left, makes birdies difficult.

Yardage: 196

Yardage: 164

Yardage: 152

Yardage: 112

12

PAR 4

12th HOLE

A 3-wood or iron off the tee will set up an uphill approach to the green. Trees and rough on either side of the fairway cause most of the trouble here.

Yardage: 381

Yardage: 364

Yardage: 347

Yardage: 287

13

PAR 4/5

13th HOLE

The tee shot on this downhill par 4 must be short of the creek and preferably on the right side. The small, undulating green prevents many good birdie opportunities.

Yardage: 437

Yardage: 408

Yardage: 402

Yardage: 402

14

PAR 3

14th HOLE

Four large bunkers protect the pin at this par 3. The most difficult pin placement here is tucked between the two bunkers on the left.

Yardage: 188

Yardage: 172

Yardage: 159

Yardage: 136

15

PAR 5

15th HOLE

This dogleg-left is reachable in two strokes with a good tee shot. While birdies are common here, woods on the right as well as a small, sloping green can present problems and keep eagles to a minimum.

Yardage: 531

Yardage: 513

Yardage: 503

Yardage: 420

16

PAR 4

16th HOLE

The narrow landing area and difficult green are the trademarks of this par 4. Trees on the left and sand on the right make driving difficult. Short irons are played to the green, which is guarded in front by the creek.

Yardage: 371

Yardage: 351

Yardage: 341

Yardage: 291

17

PAR 4

17th HOLE

Players drive between two large willows to a narrow fairway with a large bunker on the right. The large green is guarded in front by sand, where a forward pin placement doesn’t offer much chance for a birdie.

Yardage: 387

Yardage: 370

Yardage: 345

Yardage: 215

18

PAR 5

18th HOLE

A good drive over the creek allows players to go for the green in two strokes; otherwise, you must lay up. The green has five bunkers in front to penalize the daring golfer looking for an eagle.

Yardage: 557

Yardage: 477

Yardage: 477

Yardage: 353
