Apostle Highlands Golf Course

We played Apostle Highlands as part of a getaway to Bayfield, Wisconsin with friends. Upon arriving to the course you are greeted with a scenic uphill drive to the clubhouse and some beautiful on-course condos. The pro shop staff was accommodating and was strict about adhering to Covid guidelines. We were given a course guide to help us along. Once on the course it was disappointing to say the least. We were told the greens went into "shock" and it showed. Numerous dead spots made putting challenging as well as shaggy fairways and clover-like rough. If this review was solely based on the golf course nobody would go. Now the fun part, some of the views were absolutely breathtaking. The tee shot on #3, a downhill blind par 4 started things off. All you can see is the beauty of Lake Superior as you hit your shot and it was amazing. Other holes also provided scenic vistas including looking back from the 9th green/clubhouse to a split-view of Lake Superior. It is unfortunate that the course had to be in such rough shape because this definitely could become a destination course with some improved course maintenance. While the layout was definitely challenging with numerous blind shots, it could be managed given the Lake Superior vistas.
