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.
