The Orchards at Egg Harbor

The Orchards at Egg Harbor occupies land on Wisconsin's Door County peninsula, a region known for its cherry orchards, limestone bluffs, and proximity to Lake Michigan. Bill Newcomb designed the course, which opened in the late 1990s as part of the area's gradual expansion of golf facilities to serve both seasonal visitors and year-round residents. The routing works through rolling terrain that reflects the peninsula's agricultural heritage, with elevation changes and natural corridors that frame the holes. The layout incorporates the property's topographical variety, moving through former orchard land and wooded sections. Newcomb's design emphasizes playability for a range of skill levels while using the natural contours to create strategic interest. The course features a mix of open and tree-lined holes, with several elevated tees and greens that take advantage of the terrain. Water comes into play on select holes, and the bunkering follows a straightforward style consistent with regional resort courses of its era. The Orchards serves as a semi-private facility, accommodating both members and daily-fee play during Door County's active golf season, which typically runs from late spring through fall. The club functions as part of the peninsula's tourism infrastructure, drawing golfers who combine rounds with the area's other attractions—wineries, state parks, and waterfront towns. The course fits into the category of accessible, well-maintained layouts that support Door County's identity as a Midwest vacation destination.
