Golf in Brooks

Brooks is a small Waldo County farming community in the rolling hill country between Belfast and Waterville, a part of the midcoast interior that functions without much tourism infrastructure. The landscape is the classic agricultural Maine interior — dairy farms, blueberry fields, old woodlots bounded by stone walls — and Country View Golf Club lives up to its name in this setting. The course represents the nine-hole community model that has sustained recreational golf in rural Maine for generations, providing a local option in a part of Waldo County where self-sufficiency is more the norm than the exception. Swift Brook and its small tributaries drain the agricultural terrain that characterizes the broader Knox-Waldo hill country.
