BAILEYS HARBOR – Mark Murphy bought a golf course.
The Green Bay Packers president and CEO bought Maxwelton Braes Golf Course near his Door County home at the end of 2022. The 18-hole course, which straddles State 57 just south of Baileys Harbor, cost him $1.04 million, but the purchase did not include the adjacent lodge.
