Situated just outside of Green Bay, Thornberry Creek at Oneida is perched atop one of the highest peaks in Brown County. The club offers 27 holes of golf with the Championship 18 and the original nine-hole golf course. The Championship Course presents plenty of variety, starting and ending with holes that are reminiscent of the Wisconsin Northwoods and a middle section that feels as though you've been transported to Arizona or south Florida. There are more than 70 strategically placed bunkers lurking throughout the golf course as well as 11 water hazards. Risk-reward opportunities are abundant though it is not a terribly punishing course so beginners shouldn't be too intimidated. Locals of the Green Bay area consider this to be one of the best public golf courses in northeast Wisconsin.

Very nice experiance

The course was in great shape. It's a fun, challenging round. Play was a bit slower than ideal but that happens. Beautiful setting. Give it a shot, especially if you can get a deal on golfnow. We got 18 holes + cart for $20/per. Awesome deal!

Outstanding Packers Golf Experience

I really had a great day of golf at the Green Bay Packers home course. The staff was so friendly, courteous, and helpful. The course is in excellent shape. The greens were fast. But maybe fast due to the 90 degree heat - was so thankful for the cart and all the trees on the course. Some really beautifully scenic holes and who can complain with Packer logo on hole #1. Some confusion navigating around the course. Some slow players who took several holes before asking me as a single to play through. Absolutely fantastic clubhouse with a great view for post game food and libations.

its not a country club but they think they are

Played a early round weather was perfect so was expectin the course to follow suit, first off guy a counter tell me its colorard shirt only and I thought it was funny told him quit acting like this place is a country club when its not. And as far as the golf greens were nice but man the geese problem out there is a joke with droppings all over many fairways and the fairways were wet some with puddles and you wonder why you get no roll at all, pretty disappointing with that aspect and the regular prices out here are a joke

Nice comment but the collared shirt comment was in reference to another who cam in after I was done and nothing was said to him at all.And in Green Bay area almost none require a collared shirt just saying, but hope the course does get better than it has been considereing the lpga is coming there but it could be a money thing only is why there coming but good luck, considereing the course 2 miles away is miles better

How can you be shocked at having to wear a collared shirt? You state you have a 5-9 handicap, which means you have to play a lot of golf to get that good. Most every course requires a collared shirt, even ones that aren't nearly as nice as Thornberry. C'mon man.

golffreak68, I am sorry to hear about your experience regarding the requirement of wearing a collared shirt. We do pride ourselves as being the best golf facility in the way of condition and service. Our request for a collared shirt is minimal based on the experience we provide and I'm certain there are many other options in the area that can accommodate your lack of collar. Thank you for coming out and we hope to see you again soon; with a collared shirt of course.

Great conditions, nice layout, five stars

Played the tips and found it challenging but fair. Tee`d off at 6:30 which was perfect. No one in front of us, no one in back pushing us, and on a holiday yet! It doesn`t get better than that. Bar/resturant was very nice; much better than one would exect at a public course.

Challenging and Picturesque

Enjoy yourself as you meander through this exclusive piece of golf heaven. Many well-placed bunkers will keep you on your toes. Greens were fairly easy to read despite being recently aerated. Wide fairways on some holes do help with drives. Plenty of water to contend with on some holes. Play smart and you'll have tons of fun. $28 in the middle of the afternoon. Great deal!

Can't wait to come back!

If this is the conditions in mid April, wow! Can't wait to play this course when nature allows grass to grow and takes the spring mushiness out of the fairways. This course should be on anyone's list for the Green Bay Area.

Disappointing

Poor quality airation of the greens made for a really disappointing experience.. Greens were unplayable.. No ranger to monitor pace of play got stuck behind a slow family all day long .. I paid $19 with cart which is hard to complain about but the fine folks at thornberry made 19 dollars seem like I paid too much

Seems more like a private country club!

Although the course was wet from a LOT of rain recently, it didn't affect our game too much. The conditions and surroundings make you feel like you're at a posh country club. Everything was first class, except maybe our golf cart which could've used a tuneup. I hadn't played it in a while but plan on playing it as often as I can.

One of the best in the area.

I always look for opportunities to play here. Though the regular rates can be a bit high, you get a great course for the money. Each hole has character and challenge. My only criticism is that I would like to see the pins moved a little more frequently as the cups were showing wear with the edges rounding over quite a bit. Staff is always very friendly, especially the starters, which goes a long way for a positive start to the round!

Poor Service/Slow Play

Played as a foursome, teed off late because a group in front of us cut in front of us. (There is no starter or ranger ever working.) Our tee time was 3:15 and ended up going off at 3:30 which wasn't that much of a problem. However, the group that cut in front of us golfed incredibly slow, and never let us play through. And again, there is no ranger to help with pace of play. We called into the club house on the 13th hole after being out on the course for 4 hours. They claimed that there was nothing they can do about it. When we got in, we were issued these "buy one greens fee and get the second greens fee free." Seems simple enough, right? Went to use it a week later, and was greeted by a very rude employee in the clubhouse who was snarky. Apparently I was suppose to know that the buy one get one greens fee free doesn't actually mean you get a greens fee free. Go figure. Never will go back.

A little wet but still a GREAT course

We received a lot of rain earlier in the day but the course was still in great condition!! We nearly had the course to ourselves and our foursome enjoyed a casual round of golf.

A challenging but fun round of golf

It was our first time playing Thornberry Creek and at first a little intimidating, but it turned out to be quite enjoyable. There is enough challenge for the seasoned player and still quite playable for a beginner. The course is beautiful, but at the time we were there some fairways were very soggy due to recent rainfalls and also in areas a little beat up due to many non replaced divots. Th facility is first class and we enjoyed our play there.

Terrific Course

Played 18 holes on 8/13. Purchased round on GolfNow for $18 with a cart included. Course is in terrific shape and challenging from the tips. Cart girls were by every hole it seemed like which was even more of a bonus. Definitely recommend this course as it seems to be in terrific shape considering the less than stellar winter.
