Country View Golf Club

Country View Golf Club sits in the rural town of Brooks in Waldo County, Maine, roughly twenty miles west of Belfast and the Penobscot Bay coast. The course was designed by Carl Brown and Steven Brown, a father-son team who have worked on several New England golf projects. The layout occupies rolling farmland characteristic of central Maine, where open fields transition into wooded edges and the terrain offers natural elevation changes that shape the routing and playing angles. The design takes advantage of the property's agricultural heritage and topography, with holes routed across former pastureland and through stands of native hardwoods and pines. Players encounter a mix of open and tree-lined holes, with fairways that follow the land's contours and greens positioned to use slopes and natural gathering areas. The course serves the local golfing community in this part of Waldo County, providing a straightforward test suited to a range of skill levels without excessive length or forced carries. Country View operates as a semi-private facility, welcoming both members and daily-fee players. The club maintains a relaxed, community-oriented atmosphere typical of smaller Maine courses, where golf fits into the rhythm of rural life and the focus remains on accessible play rather than tournament competition or national recognition. The setting offers views across the surrounding countryside, with the quiet character of inland Maine evident throughout the round.
