Fire Ridge Golf Club
About
Fire Ridge Golf Club in Grafton, Wisconsin is a public course but it boasts the amenities and service of a private country club. It is not as well known as some other courses in the area and might possibly one of the state's best-kept secrets. The golf course stretches to more than 7,000 yards from the tips and was ranked as one of Wisconsin's top 20 toughest courses. Mature trees shape the numerous doglegs and there are also water hazards that come into play throughout Fire Ridge. There is an interesting mix of holes including challenging par 4s, with the most difficult being the 16th. There are no surprises on this tricky hole because it's tough enough on its own. Golfers should aim to keep it in the fairway and place the second shot below the hole, making sure not to miss the green long or else they're be facing a fast downhill chip shot.

Repair your divots!!!
WOW! A herd of elephants must of passed through
before my round. Doesn't anyone repair their divots?
Also don't get in the sand here ! I mean the bunkers filled rocks n dirt!
Who cuts your fairways? A chimpanzee?
Numerous mower skulling, I mean numerous!! throughout a large portion on the course.
Let this place sit for the rest of the year.
It needs the rest.
Nothing Special Here
This is a very average golf course. Conditioning of the course varied. Obviously they are doing little to water the rough areas, as they are burned out and sparse in some areas. Also some burned out areas in fairways, but for the most part the fairways were decent. Greens were hard and rolling fast. I'd say the greens are the best part of the course.
Played on a weekday afternoon, and pace of play was good.
The course itself is a decent set up, but it's tough the first time you play it, because you can't see the surface of the green on most approaches so you have to guess as to the shape and slope of the green.
Overall, not a fan of this course and probably wouldn't actively seek it out, although at the GN price it was a pretty good value. For some reason, even though I scored decently, this course is just not my cup of tea.
Thanks for playing at Fire Ridge we regret to hear the course isn't your preference, we do hope you come back and try us out again we're happy to hear you like the conditions.
great layout
the course was in very good condition. Green were very challenging. I always enjoy playing this course.
Thanks for rating us 5 Stars! We're glad our course gave you a bit of a challenge and that you always enjoy it. Come back and play again soon!
Nice course, good rate
The course was in excellent condition. I had not been there for several years. They have added another set of tee boxes since I last played there. As a senior player the new tees made the course much more playable and enjoyable. We got a very good rate thru GolfNow. I will definitely go back as often as I can.
We're happy to hear that this improvement on our course has made it more playable and enjoyable for you! Thanks for the 5 Star review. We look forward to having you again soon!
Fire Ridge
Course is in excellent shape.
Great layout except for one hole big tree off to the right of the tee box aim left.
Staff is excellent!
Thanks for your review and feedback! We love having you on the course and hope to see you again soon!
Very nice course
First time paying this course and drove about 90 miles to play and thought it was very nice.
I guess only complaint is same as what everyone else is saying,and that is most of the bunkers do need attention. Some fairway bunkers way too soft and one I hit in had rocks almost size of balls not a good feeling if you have nice clubs. Its a course you need to play a few times so you know what clubs to hit off the tee. Greens are quick but I prefer fast greens . some pin placements weren't in fair places for a average gofer but was ok for me. overall nice course
Thanks for your review and feedback! We will address these issues internally as we are constantly working on improving our course. Hope to see you again soon!
great value
This course was in excellent shape. It was great value for the price. Played midweek, so there was not a lot of traffic
Thanks for the review! We're happy to hear that you found our course to be in good shape and had an enjoyable round. Hope to see you soon!
Fire Ridge - a good test
Fire Ridge was superb in all aspects except for the bunkers - which weren't great to begin with but were also overwhelmed by rain the previous day. The course itself had drained very well.
The green were excellent. A good challenge. Firm and quick. Excellent for a public course. A lot of challenging holes. Having a few rounds under your belt is helpful at this course. A few blind shots.
Thanks for playing at Fire Ridge! Sorry about the bunkers, they don't seem to dry as quickly as the rest of the course. We hope this doesn't deter you from coming back in the future!
Golf on a perfect June day
Excellent course. Enjoyed the round. Played a combo of green and white tees. Course now more meets my length issues.
Happy to hear it! Thanks for playing with us, come back soon!
Great layout
Great design. Good challenge. Friendly, helpful staff.
Only downside: bunkers were not raked and were very hard.
Thank you jeffpoeschi for the review and 4-Stars! We are so happy you found the course to be challenging and our staff was helpful. Please come back and see us again soon!
Nice but Pricey
It is really nice except for the bunkers, also a bit over priced. The bunkers are awful. If you are not going to put enough sand in the bunkers then shave the lips so one can putt out of them. Another option is turning them in to grass bunkers. Other then the bunkers the place is nice, has a good layout and is well kept. Just cant figure out why they would let the bunkers get rock hard.
Mee-Kwon and Hawthorne Hills are as good or better and a much better value. And no I don't work for Ozaukee County nor do I know anyone who does.
Thank you Jerry for your review and feedback of Fire Ridge Golf Club. We are so happy to hear you had such a great time other than the bunkers. We are always looking for ways of improving course conditions and with your help we are able to do that. Please come back and see us again very soon!

SPring golf
I have played this course a dozen times or so. For early spring it was in decent shape. In the summer the greens speed up and the rough grows in and makes it a fun course to play.
Thank you for your review and feedback for Fire Ridge Golf Club. We are so happy you came out to visit us and enjoyed the golf course. Please come back and see us again soon.
Finally got my chance to play here
I live in Sheboygan and regularly head south down I-43 to Milwaukee, always passing Fire Ridge in Grafton and wondering what the course was like. Last November, I finally was able to find a time that worked for me to head down and get a round in.
For it being early November in Wisconsin, the course was in great shape and the weather was perfect.
The course is a touch easier than others such as The Bog or The Bull, but the greens are fast and there are difficult shots to be had throughout.
I was very impressed with the course and will definitely be back again this year.
We are so glad you finally stopped in to play a round at our course and that we have impressed you at that! Thanks so much for the 5 star review. We're looking forward to having you back!
Unfair Pin Placement
Course conditions were very good (aside from the bunkers), tees, fairways & greens in prime condition. They're were some very poor pins. I was above the hole on 2 & they're was no way to stop it within 8 ft. I had 3 putts on the front side that would have qualified as "the most difficult putt I had all year"....I have no idea why they would do that. Saving the pins for weekday play? The bunkers were not raked and were wet & muddy & unplayable...I should add that getting 30 practice range balls for $6 is a little out of hand when you consider 20% or so were run over with a lawn mower.
Thank you 3wack for your review and feedback of Fire Ridge Golf Club. We value your opinion and appreciate you taking the time. We are always working hard to improve course conditions throughout the facility. We hope you will let us know on your next visit if you need anything at all, as we look forward to meeting your expectations over the coming season. Please come back again soon!
