About
Tucked amongst the rolling hills along the eastern shores of its namesake lake, Koshkonong Mounds Country Club pays homage to the Winnebago tribes that are native to the area. Koshkonong is a word from their language that means "these waters we live on." The club was established in 1870 on land that was once known as the country's premier duck hunting destination. The golf course was constructed in 1922 and still stands as Fort Atkinson's only 18-hole layout. The historic Indian effigy mounds were carefully preserved and incorporated into the course as navigational hazards. The golf course is a formidable test in addition to being scenic with plenty of blinds shots in store thanks to the dramatic elevation changes. Golfers should also be prepared for uneven lies. Both distance and accuracy are required for scoring well at Koshkonong Mounds Country Club.

Beautiful Lake View
You start with a great view of Lake Koshkonong by the clubhouse. Old style course with mature Oaks lining most fairways. Greens rolled true with moderate speed. I was impressed that nearly every group had women included and, although the course was packed, pace of play was 4 hours 15 minutes. The final hole is a par 5 uphill back to the clubhouse with effigy mounds on either side of the 18th green. I like a course with a lot of variety and this course has several memorable holes.
Very nice course
I would recommend this course and love the views especially on the 18th green.
Can't wait to play it again.
This is a fun course, if you can find it. I don't think there is an entry sign and the roads are somewhat narrow. The course is in great shape and well maintained. The greens are a little small and usually have a lot of slope on them. Have to be careful where to land the ball on approaches. There are lots of hills and valleys which adds to the fun.
nice course deceivingly challenging
Course was in great shape!! Staff was very friendly and inviting. Course was fairly open but provided a good challenge.
A lot of older "locals" on the course that were enjoying a leisurely round. Overall speed of play wasn't too bad.
Worth a look!
Better Early in the Season
We have golfed at Koshkonong four times this season. The first time out was the best. Yesterday the course was in rough condition. The greens were very rough and shaggy. We were members the last several years. We don't plan to join this year. The course just isn't in the shape it has been in the past.
Koshkonong
Very nice golf course and fun to play. Accuracy and distance are both important.
To Me, Has Best 18th Finishing Hole.
I have played Konosh a couple of times over past 3 years. I holed out with a 39-41=80 here from the black tees. Very nice layout, friendly staff and half way house to get some snacks and food. I call Konosh a advanced golfers scoring course. Hit 200 or better off the tee and its lets you shine with your chipping game, And they have nice size greens that I thought rolled faster than average greens, but not to bad. A couple putts on practice greens and your good to adjust your putting here. Konoshkong is a fun course. it throws a lot at you from many different angles. Senic course, and in middle of no where and is hidden gem. My reason I Love this course is I just Love the 18th finishing hole. Is straight par 5 just 451, but you sky over the valley on the tee shot, and its straight up hill 3 tears to high elevated green. You will not see the green until you reach it. and the view of the lake . I nickname this awesome 18th hole stairway to the sky or Heavens. Pace of play is good here to. I recommend this at least once. And course is in very good shape.
Nice challenge
Course was in good condition for this time of year.
Greens need to be sanded to fill in which they most likely have planned. First hole needs gravel on dirt road
off fairway. Fun to play.
Very Interesting
This was probably one of the hardest courses I've every played. I still had 3 birdies on the day, but I had to earn the pars on the low handicap holes. Course starts out with severe elevation changes till you get on the back nine. There are a lot of blind shots that have to be made. If you have time to drive down the fairway and take a quick look at your landing areas, I would highly recommend it. Especially on #7. I only lost 2 balls, which was pretty good. I'm a 7 HCP and shot a 78. Would definately play the course again. But I would take someone that sprays the ball. Cause you'll be out there a while.
Koshkonong Mounds
Course fairways were not cut short even. Many spots we couldn't tell fairway from the rough.
Greens in great shape.
The course marshall was loud and interrupted our teeing off with his antics.
Good time
1st time to this course. I had been looking at it for a bout a month and finally pulled the trigger. Great deal off Golf Now. Nice mix of hilly holes and flat terrains. Was expecting faster greens but we were told Tuesdays are a day of rest for the course plus it rained the night before so they were a little on the slower side. They still putted true though from one hole to the next. Great clubhouse and bar area, friendly staff. I will go again.. Nice scenery and nice views of the lake too..
Nice course, good views
Pace of play was slower than I like on the front nine but it picked up to be good on the back.
Course was in good shape, the greens are fast and have movement that is readable and true. Hitting straight is always good but here it can cost you if you don't. Many holes are tight, and there are some blind shots you have to just trust the yardage and hit!
Worth the trip from Madison and will play again.
Fun in Wisconsin
This course was in great shape from tee to green. A nice breeze coming in from the lake made it a pleasant day. It was good to have a cart because it has lots of hills,. The most challenging part was the changes in elevation, uphill and downhill lies, and it messes with my depth perception, not sure I hit the right club.
The staff we very friendly and helpful. Great restroom facilities. There was an outdoor snack building which had good food at reasonable price and fast, friendly service.
Pace of play was fantastic. Of course there were two of us.
Being on vacation and knowing zero about courses in WI, we turned to GolfNow and read reviews. We would play this course again!
tough test
very tough test of golf skills, lots of uphill, downhill, and side hill lies, most greens small and very few straight putts with the pin placements we played, first time playing course was tough not knowing where to try to place shots to avoid the rolling terrain, would like to try her again one day, 3 of the 4 par 3's were pretty tough, long and hilly, the burger and sweet potato fries after golf were OUTSTANDING,
Difficult course but beautiful scenery
The front nine was definitely very challenging. Alot of hills and sloped fairways. The back nine was much easier. The course itself is beautiful. Full of trees and water. Lovely scenery. Bar and kitchen staff could use some work. We tried to call in a lunch order at 11am using the menu on the cart and we were told the cook wasn't in yet but they would put our order in when she got here. When we got to the clubhouse we were told they got our order and she was working on it. We waited quite awhile until the bartender finally asked the cook where our food was and she said "I never got that order." Ended up having to wait another 10 minutes to get our food.Really held us up in getting to our 2nd 9 holes. Probably shouldn't put a menu on the cart saying "call at hole 8 and we'll have your food ready", if you're not going to live up to that promise.
Excellent condition
But the ranger needs to be more diligent in having players keep the pace. Will definitely be back.
A fun course with a couple big hills, especially the final uphill par 5 finishing hole. Aerated greens were still puttable.
This is a fun course to play with a mixture of several easier holes with about 4 or 5 tough holes for the average golfer. There are a couple big hills on the course which adds to the challenge and appeal of the course. The final hole is a memorable straight- uphill par 5. Playing that hole into the wind off of Lake Koshkonong made for a tough finishing hole on the day we played the course. Greens were aerated but still could be putted.
