Green fee: $99-169
What they're saying: "The layout is solid and provided a decent challenge from the yellow markers while the GPS was handy to have and getting a flat lie is a gift so use it well. The setup for the day was done well with both tucked and very gettable pins." - golfsuLLy, Nevada Local Golf Advisor
Lake Geneva, Wisc.
Architect: Robert B. Harris
Green fee: $90-112
What they're saying: "Great golf challenge: tilted fairways, hidden greens, uphill lies, sloping putts, it gives you everything you want in a brutish golf course. Fun to play, tough to score. Enjoy!" - DRJCW
Wisconsin Dells, Wisc.
Architects: Michael Hurdzan & Dana Fry
Green fee: $85-95
What they're saying: "Wild Rock has some of the most beautiful scenes I’ve ever encountered in the Midwest. The greens were gorgeous though the designer must have had a streak of sadism: not a flat putt on the entire course (except for the practice green). Next time I’m in the Dells, I’ll be sure to play here twice." - kbrewner
Marshall, Mich.
Architect: Bill Newcomb
Green fee: $40-65
What they're saying: "An outstanding course near Marshall that has the best GPS on the golf cart I have ever seen. Course is in great shape from tee to green. Great par 3’s and layout in general is interesting and challenging." - rathke, Arizona Local Golf Advisor
