Red Hawk Golf Club
Played On 05/02/2022Challenging course, spectacular views, windy
1st time playing Red Hawk. Very challenging course, but the different sets of Tee Boxes make it playable for intermediate level players. Well maintained fairways, fast greens, deep bunkers. Beautiful views from all over the course of nearby mountains and desert. Staff was friendly. Be prepared for windy conditions. Most of back nine plays into the prevailing winds.
Glacier Wood Golf Club
Played On 05/05/2018Scenic and Challenging Course
Glacier Wood is on my list of best courses in Wisconsin. The course blends naturally into the rolling glacial terrain of northern Waupaca County. It is very challenging with tree and boulder lined fairways, and water comes into play on several holes. The large greens are well maintained, as are the fairways and tee areas. The Clubhouse amenities are excellent, with a varied and affordable food menu and fairly priced beverages. It is well worth the drive to find this course, you won't be disappointed.
Marshfield Country Club
Played On 08/05/2017Scenic & Challenging; Great Value
Interesting Parkland-Style Course. Opened in 1920's, lots of mature trees and excellent integration with natural terrain, river and ponds.
Pros: Greens were in good condition, speed consistent throughout the course. Unfortunately, it appeared lots of players don't know how to fix their Ball Marks. I don't blame the course for this, it's just lazy players not being considerate of other players. You don't have to be a long hitter on most holes, but accuracy and distance control on approach shots is a must. Some very pretty holes, and fit in nicely with surrounding terrain.
Cons: Some Tee Boxes were in need of repair and seeding. Playing for the first time, finding the next hole in some areas was a challenge, especially when criss-crossing the river on the back nine.
Overall: This course , while not fancy, is challenging and a fair test of skill. The new Clubhouse was nice, the burgers were tasty, beverages reasonable, and the Staff friendly, They had a GPS System on the cart, but I couldn't figure out how to turn it on. It would have come in handy for distances. It's worth asking about when you check in. Greens Fees were very reasonable. 4-Stars, at least.
RiverEdge Golf Course
Played On 07/24/2017Scenic and Challenging; Have Clubs, Will Travel
This is a very pretty course, with plenty of challenges for all skill levels. Water hazards in the form of both ponds and the river came into play on several holes. The course has several holes carved through the woods, with only a few holes with houses and other structures within view. Some long Par 4's which require a long drive, but just as many short 4's which require strategically placed shots. The greens were well maintained. The only complaint were the Tee Boxes on some holes were a little sparse. The Staff was friendly, and the value for the money was outstanding. Overall 4.5 stars. Planning on driving the easy 60 minute trek to play here again.
The Pointe Golf Course
Played On 03/07/2017Challenging Course; Elevation Changes Challenges Club Selection
Played on March 7, 2017. It rained the night before, so it was "Carts On Path Only". Prior to the rain, there were Fire Alerts in the area because it was so dry. "Cart Path Only Rule" slowed play down unnecessarily. Except for a very few low spots, the course was still dry as a bone. It was sunny and very windy. The high winds along with elevation changes made the course very challenging. Overall, a nice course, would play here again. One Note: Don't forget to have tees in your bag. I needed tees, so I bought a small bag- for FIVE BUCKS! I could have bought a giant box of tees at Walmart for $5 that would last me ten years. Needless to say, I didn't check on any of their other "amenities".
Eighteen Hole at Holiday Island Country Club
Played On 03/01/2017Fun Course, Beautiful Setting, Worth the Drive
Played March 1st, still winter conditions on fairways, but greens were in good shape. Many sidehill fairways demand accurate drives, or ball will roll down hill, over cliff, never to be seen again. Tough course for high handicapper. Some spectacular scenery, especially on front nine. Arrive early to order a great breakfast (pancakes, eggs, bacon, 'tatos) for under five bucks. The Staff in the Pro Shop/Grill were friendly. Did a quick drive into Eureka Springs, very pretty little town. Not a fancy, snooty place, but great people, interesting course. Would definitely play here again.
Holiday Hills Resort and Golf Club
Played On 02/28/2017Late Winter Golf. Great warmup course.
Played on Feb. 28. Did not expect perfect conditions due to Mother Nature. Being from Wisconsin, just playing in Feb. was great. The course is very forgiving for average skilled level players. However, if you are a low handicapper, the back tees would be a fair test. We stopped into the Clubhouse after our round for a drink, and the Staff was really nice. We teed off at 8:20, and cruised around (twosome of average players). By the time we made the turn at about 10:10, there were two or three groups backed up at Number 1. Probably a very busy course. Overall, my wife and I loved starting out the spring golf season on a wide open course. Sometimes it's nice to play a course where every flub doesn't result in a total disaster.
