A Upper Penninsula Favorite

Pace of play was excellent. Greens were super and held well. Some of the fairways were showing signs of a terrible winter, but are on the mend. Love to play this challenging and beautiful course.

Easily one of the best courses in Northern Michigan

Wild Bluff consistently stands up as the UPs premiere golf course and resort destination.

With breathtaking views, immaculate conditions and challenging holes and priced for between $50-$60 with a cart, I believe you will not find a better value on your round of golf many other places.

I would suggest this course for all handicaps and ages as it has a wide array of tee's making the course playable for all skill levels.

Excellent service and great course

This is a challenge from every tee, but it is very fair. The course was in great shape! I always look forward to playing Wild Bluff. It is a jewel, just stay out of the rough.

Always a great time....

Every time that I play Wild Bluff I go away loving it. It's well run, well kept up and the views are great! A nice mix of tough and easier holes makes for a good test of skills.

We hadn't played this course for 2-3 years and found it to be in the best shape ever. Staff was great and we both enjoyed our round and the great views of Lake Superior.

Beautiful Setting for golf!

First hole dog legs to the right. Group behind hit into us. They could not see us, and we were only about 225 yards out. Very near miss!
Rough was so long it was almost unplayable. Greens are smooth and fast. Sand traps need more sand and less gravel.
Staff were great!
Good experience for first time playing here!
Beautiful Views of Whitefish Bay!

I still recommend this course, however there are muddy tracks from the equipment throughout the fairways.

Great surprize in the Upper Pennisula

This course is both esthetically pleasing and challenging. The holes are well divided, the fairways are tight but playable for even the novice player. The course was in pristine condition, well defined fairways and ruff. The greens were lightening fast and difficult.
