The Orchards At Egg Harbor is built on the site of a former orchard on the Door Peninsula. The course features several holes that play across rolling terrain where the original apple trees once stood, with some fairways still bordered by mature fruit trees. The layout includes a mix of open and wooded sections, with natural depressions and subtle elevation changes created by glacial activity. Native prairie grasses and wetland areas frame several holes, particularly on the back nine. The greens are built to USGA specifications and vary in size and contour, with some featuring significant slope from back to front. The property sits several miles inland from the Lake Michigan shoreline, so wind exposure is moderate compared to courses located directly on the water. The routing takes advantage of the existing orchard grid in places, with straightaways aligned along former tree rows.
