NorthWood Golf Course
About
Northwood Golf Club provides a pleasant getaway that has the advantage of being less crowded than a metropolitan course and the convenience of being less than three hours north of Wisconsin's major cities. The peaceful feeling of seclusion is enhanced even further by the course's location just minutes from hundreds of lakes as well as the Pelican and Wisconsin Rivers. The golf course plays across rolling, wooded hills. Mature trees frame the holes and they helped to carve the shape of the challenging doglegs. Northwood is a course that will test your accuracy but it is also more forgiving than it seems. There are a few holes featuring water hazards including the par-3 11th, which has an island green. Wind is also a factor on many holes.

Golf Advisor: Top Courses in Wisconsin (2023 #21)

Just ok.
The course was in decent condition, but the layout is very odd. Most of the holes required a layup with a 3 wood or long iron because of the dogleg at the exact wrong location. Greens were pretty decent and fairly quick. Fairways were in decent condition, but were quite soggy despite not having much rain over the past week. Pace of play really slowed down after 2 holes. I do t think I would choose this course again, over some of the other courses in the northwoods. Definitely wouldn’t pay full price to play.
Challenging
Narrow fairways may want to leave your driver in the bag.
Great Course in Great Condition
The Staff was very friendly. The Carts were in very good condition and clean. The course is a little tight, which provides a challenge….course management is critical. Leave your Driver in your bag… The Tee Boxes were in great shape along with the fairways. The Greens rolled nicely and in good shape. I would recommend playing this course!
On a side note, we ate after our round and the food and service were very good. The Bang / Bang Shrimp were very good as well as the Bang / Bang Shrimp Salad and Hamburger and Fries.
Fun and Challenging Course
The Tee Boxes, Fairways, and Greens were all in great shape. The course is narrow which makes for a challenge. Course management is important….. You may want to leave your Driver in the bag on a few holes. We ate in the restaurant after golf. The food and service was very good! I would recommend both…
