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.

Hidden gem in the Northwoods of Wisconsin

Didn't get to play this absolute gem of a course due to weather, wet conditions. We will go and play another time as we have played before. Worth the time and cost, a great course and fun, too. How do I get my online sign up fee refunded? We got rained out but you still charged me.

Bass lake

The course is not overly long, but is quite challenging. It was in great shape and has a lot of variety. It is a course that really requires all kinds of shots and should appeal to golfers at all levels.

Lovely, shorter course in great shape.

Bass Lake is a well-groomed slightly shorter course in very good condition. The greens are somewhat fast and in almostn perfect shape. There are numerous dog-legs and some water hazards.
Fun to play for the average an d senior golfer. Highly recommended.
