Wisconsin Help Needed


BG5

Recommended Posts

Gents,

 

The family will be going to Wisconsin Dells in a few weeks for 3 nights. My wife says I can play 1 or 2 rounds but I'm not really familiar with the are or golf. As of right now I was considering playing Wild Rocks and possibly making a 1 hour drive to play Lawsonia Links.

 

Are their better options than these 2 courses?

 

Kohler along with Erin Hills are not options.

 

Cheers and looking forward to hearing any info, suggestions or reviews on these courses

WIld Rock is the top course in the Dells right now, No question in my mind. If time allows, University Ridge and/or Hawks Landing are great options in the Madison area (Come down US12 and shave a little time over the interstate). Lawsonia and Uni/Hawks are about a wash drive time wise.

A different option (Which I have not played, But heard good things about) is Lake Arrowhead northwest of the Dells (Located about 15 minutes from the proposed Sand Valley resort). about 50 minutes from the dells. Lake Arrowhead is past Northern Bay (Replica holes), I've never been impressed with NB. Some people rave about NB however.

I was there a month or two ago and was the first one off one morning at Trappers Turn. The course was beautiful and a good test. There are a few bland holes in the open on the last 9 I played (they have 3), but I wouldn't do the extra drive to Lawsonia unless that's just somewhere you really want to play.

I think Lawsonia is worth the drive. The Links course is a classic, one of the best in the country. It may not cost nearly as much as the big ones in the state, but it has more character than any of those courses. The Woodlands course is great as well. I recommend getting there early and playing them both.

All I have to say is I wish I was married to your wife! No way would mine ever let me play or bring clubs on a trip with the family.

I just went by the Dells yesterday. Was at the Milwaukee Zoo with four kids and a Labrador along. I am lucky to have survived!

You can bring your labrador to the Milwaukee zoo? Or is he/she a special needs dog?
