SPCC was the second 18 on the first day of our trip. Even if a bit tired, I was very excited to play a course that I had heard such good things about. SPCC has an interesting history, as the course was originally designed by Larry Packard. Like many mid century layouts it boasted lush…
Glacier Wood Golf Course Review & Profile
My next four reviews will revolve around a trip I took this summer up to the Stevens Point area. This area has really become a great spot for a buddies trip with the opening of Sand Valley, and a couple of private courses now allowing public play. This review goes over a course in the…
Western Lakes Golf Club Review & Course Profile
After a good round in the morning an “emergency 18” was deemed necessary by the group on this mid May day. Scrambling for a tee time, we found one at a reasonable price at Western Lakes in the afternoon. Below is a review of the course from my time playing that day. Atmosphere The course…
A Bump & Run: Waushara Country Club
2 hours from Milwaukee, Waushara Country Club is a public course located right outside of Wautoma, WI. The course has 3 separate 9’s that rotate to make a different 18 hole course each day. This review goes through a foggy early morning round I played on their Westwoods 9. Atmosphere The course sits just north…
Wild Rock Golf Club Review & Course Profile
One of best courses in southeastern Wisconsin, Wild Rock is the crown jewel of the ever popular Wilderness Resort in the Wisconsin Dells. Located an hour and a half from Milwaukee and about 30 from Madison, the course is very busy during the Wisconsin summers between Memorial Day and Labor day. Below I go through…
The National at Par 5 Resort Course Profile
A little ways north of Manitowoc sits the newly named Par 5 resort. The resort features 45 holes. 27 of which are named Fox Creek. Shorter and tailored more for beginners, Fox Creek is not the reason you drive out to Mishicot Wisconsin. Instead the other 18 is the star of the facility. The National…
A Bump & Run: Autumn Ridge Golf Club
Autumn Ridge is located about an hour and thirty minutes north of Milwaukee, and around 30 minutes from Sheboygan. The course is undoubtedly unique, with the course moving over and around massive elevation changes rarely seen in this part of the state. It’s a course I believe everyone should visit at least once. Read below…
A Bump & Run: Monroe Golf Club
Well off the beaten path for Milwaukee area golfers, Monroe Golf Club is a public facility, that is located about and hour south of Madison and 2 hours from Milwaukee. While I am not 100% sure of the history, I believe the course was at one time private, but has now become public. This was…
Bear Slide Golf Club Review & Course Profile
The next few posts will highlight a golf trip I took to the Indianapolis area back in 2019. While certainly not known as a golf destination, I was blown away by the quality of public golf for the price. In my opinion, it is far better than around Milwaukee. The first course I’ll go into…
Washington County Golf Course Review & Profile
A short drive north of Milwaukee lies Washington County Golf Course. As you might glean from the name, the course is run by the county. That being said, this is not your typical municipal course. Built on the side of a broad, sloping hill, this “American links” is some of the best golf Milwaukee has…
