Bass Lake Golf Course boasts some of the finest golf in the Northwoods. Carefully carved from mature forests of oak and pine trees, the course is abundant with native wildlife. The course dates back to 1926 but it underwent a major renovation in 2003 that made certain aspects more challenging, while also making it more playable for a wider range of skill levels. The layout is much like playing two golf courses in one with a front nine that is tightly lined with trees and a hillier back nine that wraps around a large lake. There are also a few small ponds that come into play on the front nine. The rolling terrain guarantees uneven lies as well as the occasional blind shot. Accuracy will also be needed in order to avoid the strategically placed sand traps, mature trees, and thick rough.

Great day of golf! Very friendly GM.

I booked the round for a steal of a deal on my way to the northwoods. I was immediately greeted by the general manager who made sure that I had everything I needed. He introduced himself to me and remembered my name after the initial encounter. The course was in excellent shape, and I will be back.

Excellent golf course!

Bass Lake golf course is an excellent place to play golf! The course was in great shape for it being only the beginning of May. The greens were very nice. The layout of the course is awesome. I strongly recommend playing this course if you haven’t yet. I arrived at 8:30 AM and the General Manager met me at my car with a golf cart for me. He introduced himself and asked if I had any questions. What service!!! I will definitely be back to play here again.

Great course

This course is in great shape and has very friendly staff. We did wait on quite a few shots but still played in 3 1/2 hours walking. Lots of target golf and some shorter holes, so played from the blue tees
