Rating 73.0

Trappers Turn Golf Club boasts 27 scenic holes that tumble across the glacier-carved hills of Wisconsin Dells. The rolling countryside provided the perfect terrain for course designers Andy North and Roger Packard to create a challenging course, or actually three different 18-hole courses. The team first designed the Canyon and Lake nines and added the Arbor nine in 2000. Each nine has a different character and incorporates a variety of holes. The Lake/Canyon combination combines links-style holes with woodland holes. The Lake Course has four holes that play along the edge of the 13-acre Mystic Lake. There are a variety of elevation changes throughout the golf course, but perhaps none as memorable as the extreme drop in elevation on the Canyon's par-3 seventh, Trappers Turn's signature hole. The hole spills down onto a small green that is situated amidst a glacier-carved canyon but it is not as intimidating as it looks.

Great setting and fun golf

My wife and I enjoyed our round the previous day we went back for round 2! Course had dried out and played great. It’s challenging enough but open so some errant shots can be found.

Wonderful Facility

My wife and I enjoyed our visit to Trappers Turn. The Lake and Canyon nines were in great condition. Spacious fairways, large bent greens, and just enough intimidation factor made our day a great challenge. My wife, a botanist, loved the combination of wildflowers on the course and the spectacular plantings near the clubhouse. The only suggestion for improvement would be to add a shorter set of tees, somewhere in the 4500-4700 yard range. Youths and seniors would benefit.
