About

Glacier Wood Golf Club has a unique landscape that was carved by ice and earth. The scenic course sprawls across diverse terrain that combines open, grassy meadows, with mature forests and marshland. Sweeping elevation changes and glacial rocks that frame the course provide stunning views from tee to green. The more open holes have a spacious feel while the wooded ones are invitingly secluded. Golfers will have numerous strategically placed bunkers to contend with as well as many water hazards. The par-3 12th hole is the course's signature. This stunning hole incorporates dramatic elevation changes, forest, and wetlands for a challenge that you won't soon forget. The 15th is another hole that is as equally memorable, a u-shaped par 5 that is a double dogleg with a steeply sloped green.

Always Good Shape

Pace of play = 4 for the kids in carts that slowed everyone down on the front 9…addressed with staff and they rectified immediately and pace was perfect on the back. We were 2 walkers if that tells you something. Course conditions were great as usual.

One of my favorites

I've been golfing at Glacier Wood for about 8 years and I love it every time. The course is well laid out and maintained. It is very picturesque and we always get visited by wildlife. If you want a challenging round in a quiet environment, take the drive from the valley. It's well worth the trip.

Rainy Sunday

Decided to play 9 in the rain as a solo. No one on the course and other than a few wet bunkers the course was draining well and was a joy to play. Kitchen at the clubhouse shutdown before 6 but that’s okay.

Glacier Woods

Wow, what a hidden gem in the middle of Wisconsin. The course is outside of Stevens Point, but it's well worth the drive,

Fairways and greens were both in great shape along with having a great staff.

Definitely coming back.

Phenomenal Value

A wonderful course that my buddies and I always make a part of our central Wisconsin golf trip. Such great bang for your buck here and every time I play the course has been in great shape. From the elevation changes to the forested vs open holes, it offers everything you would want in a midwest/northwoods golf course.
