Type Resort

Length 6158 yards
Slope 116
Rating 69.2

Located just southeast of Madison, Coachman's Golf Club boasts 27 holes of golf that were carefully sculpted from the wooded hills of southern Wisconsin. The holes make up three nines that are played in three different 18-hole combinations. Each course has a unique character, but they were all designed with players of all skill levels in mind. The golf courses are challenging but they will appeal to low and high handicappers alike. The Red/White combination was the first 18-hole course at Coachman's, with the Red nine built in 1968 and joined by the White two years later. Stately oaks and willow trees accent the course, demanding accuracy while also providing scenery. Challenging water hazards also come into play on several holes. In addition to the three golf courses, Coachman's also offers a driving range, putting green, and chipping area.

Tee boxes were horrible

I would not waste the time and especially your money on this course. The tee boxes must not have been mowed in a month. I've seen rough at some courses shorter then that. Definitely not worth the $50 price tag on the weekend. I hate the fact that you end the front 9 on a par 3, then 10 is another par 3 and you finish on 18 with a par 3. The bunkers, if you want to call them that, were absolutely horrible and rock hard. Definitely will not be back till something big changes, and it's not like they're not making money. The place was packed. Trash can overflowing on every hole. I'd barely pay 20 for 18 with a cart there.

Don't be in a hurry

Coachman's Resort seems to be a favorite for the Illinois crowd -coming up for a relaxing golf weekend. Don't be surprised if you see a group of five (or even six!) out on the course. In our case, the group of 5 did their best to move along (with groups ahead of them, there was nowhere to go anyway). They tried to wave us through, but it was a logjam. We went into it looking for a relaxing, unhurried round, so it was no big deal.

Staff is very friendly. The course conditions are okay, considering the recent drought. Lots of hard conditions around the green, so it's like trying to pick a ball off of the sidewalk at times. Fairways were okay, and greens were mostly decent.

Hard to complain for the price. If you're out for high quality and strict etiquette and pace of play, go to the Dells and pay more. If you don't mind groups of guys hamming it up, smoking cigars, and sharing some music - you'll be just fine here.

Lots of waiting.

Tee boxes and greens were in good condition. Nice fairways but very hard ground in the rough around the course. Took almost 5 hours to play 18 with a partner.

May 10, 2023

A beautiful wisconsin day. Found a hot deal for Coachman’s and gave her a whirl for the first time in 2023. It was nice. Greens were in great shape. Rolling true. Course was a little wet which explained the overgrown roughs and tee boxes. I don’t think mowers were able to mow much because of the rains preceding my tee time. But overall I was impressed. Pace of play always can be an issue here. There is no rhyme or reason to which nines are played and when. It’s be nice if those folding 18 would know that it will be a red blue day or a blue white day etc. it always annoys me when I need to deal with new guys on the turn who pop in front of me. This isn’t new. I’ve dealt with this for the last 6 years golfing here.

So, good conditions. Same kind of management. 4 out of 5.
