St. Croix National Golf Course is a championship course that is tucked away amongst rolling, wooded hills. This scenic course is one of western Wisconsin's hidden gems. The undulating landscape covered with mature trees can seem intimidating but the layout was designed with spacious fairways and bailout areas that act as an excellent balance to the more challenging elements. The well conditioned greens putt fast and true, acting as a perfect complement to the beautiful scenery. There are strategically placed bunkers and water hazards coming into play but it is the topography will truly test your accuracy as well as a variety of other skills. St. Croix National G.C. also boasts a driving range perched high above a valley that collects the practice shots. It is the perfect preparation for the challenges of the golf course.

Fun and Challenging Course

The clubhouse is awesome! The primary reason is that you can use their indoor simulators to warm up if you decide not to use the driving range. The views are scenic, and you’ll use nearly every club in your bag. It’s hands-down a 5-Star experience.

Lots of options.

First impressions were this place has a lot to offer a golfer. Beautiful facilities with more upgrades currently under way. This place has lots of wooded fairways, lots of elevation changes and lots of picturesque views.

The first tee tells you a lot about a course and this is no different. The view is impeccable. About 350 yards from the green at the blue tees and about 200 feet down. Don't use a yellow ball on the first tee as the driving range is close enough to get a few errant balls on the right side. This course is challenging but for the avid golfer who plays blues or whites you should have an enjoyable round.

The greens were fast and in great condition. The fairways are very nice and the tee boxes are pretty good too. The carts are gas, have decent speed, nice comfortable seats, ball/club washers, and a great GPS/stereo with Bluetooth.

The restaurant has pretty good food, we had the breakfast croissant. The staff are friendly. The pro shop is small but a decent selection of items.

The driving range is pretty cool but you might have an issue if you want to see your flops and pitches hit the ground as you are up on a hill. The practice greens are beautiful and offer some fund undulating. I'd like to see a bunker/pitch practice area included but I can't complain too much. They also have a 19th hole but wasn't up and running due to construction on the clubhouse patio.

If you have a few bucks and an itch, check out St. Croix National and bring a good camera.

Tough

Extremely scenic, condition of fairways and greens very good. Elevation changes, several blind shots and sloping lies make this a very difficult course to play. Hole 9 is basically unplayable even with a good drive. I won't play this course again but I'm glad I played it.
