The BOG

This course is like your 40 year old high school crush...20 years ago it was probably super pretty and well kept but now a days has a few kids and is in rough condition but still wants you to pay top $. For what they charge this course should be in great condition and its not.

The design is great offering 18 unique holes with interesting use of elevation and natural water features .

Greens have numerous patchy areas that can significantly impact putting, but the areas that are not damaged run pretty quick/smooth.

I think the course has a very unique layout but is has to many blind shots where you cant see the green or know where to hit. Felt more like it was target golf.

The course for a Sunday was open and our foursome completed 18 holes in 4 hrs 6 minutes. Challenging course with spectacular views . Greens were fast and in excellent condition. Fairways were clean and the rough was challenging but not impossible . Bunkers were all raked and sand was free of rocks and leaves . Overall a great experience and we will be back

The views you see start to finish mixed with a great course. Very rewarding round and will be back

For only being 35 min north of milwaukee, you almost forget where you are. From the second you pull in, the scenery and hospitality is top notch. Course was very well maintained with very fun challenges throughout. Well worth the trip

This was our first trip to the Bog, it was just myself and my teenage son, who is a varsity golfer for his high school so he is now better than me. Anyway, the course itself was very nice, heavy on bunkers which added some good challenges, and very well maintained. You do get range balls with the tee time and overall the operation was well organized - which was expected since this is one of the pricier options in our area.

I'm not sure if being pricier has to equal more rude, but unfortunately it did in our case. My son wanted to have me purchase him a "Bog" divot repair tool to remember the occasion and it had no price on it and when I asked the man replied "if you have to ask you probably do not want to buy it". Then when we went to our cart we had each brought a water with us and we were told we had to take our water bottle back out to the parking lot and put it in our car. I am familiar with not being allowed to take soda, alcohol, etc onto the course because they want to sell it to you which is normal and makes sense, but this was just a bottle of water and you can take that same bottle of water into a Brewers Game, the State Fair, etc... But I did not complain at the time, it was our first time there so I walked back out to the car an put the water back. Then a few holes in we were both thirsty on this summer day but when the cart person came by to sell us stuff she said we could not buy anything because they had just switched to 100% cashless and their card reader was down so she was heading back in. I asked if I could just buy a water with cash then, and she said no, but hopefully the issue would be addressed later. So now we are very thirsty (18 holes on a hot day) and the next time we saw a cart person they repeated the same thing, nothing could be purchased with cash as they are cashless now, but their credit card readers were still down. I kept thinking back to the waters that were sitting in my car and the rude way we were told to put them back and realized the Bog was not the place for me and my son. The course was nice, but a few of the people were not (not all mind you), it was really just the one main gentlemen who was rude in the Pro Shop and then made sure we did not dare take water onto his course who I could have done without. The others were nice but their new "cash-less" system policy was definitely a mistake and poorly implemented. You can't be 100% cashless and then have credit card readers that do not work reliably.

But again, the course itself was very nice and MOST of the people were too, the few bad things described above just left us feeling out of place.

Played the Bog on a warm, humid day after having not played it in several years. Condition of the course was superb, with fairway plush as a carpet and greens fast but true. Be sure to look at the scorecard to see which way the hole plays as there are some blinds areas. Once you know where to hit it, shot placement is critical but can be very rewarding. Hitting these shots added to the fun of the course and were by no means unfair from the right set of tees. Loved it!

If you can get past the "I want to search your bag for drinks", the 23 times you need to hit the "go" button on your screen after being scolded for over-driving hidden barriers, and the "we close our turn beverage hut at 4:30pm daily (our actual tee time) but we have a beverage cart until 6pm" which by the way, got us through 9.

If you are looking for a course to relax and enjoy, this one is not for you.

PS to women - If you can't clear the hazard on the three or four holes where you must drive 150 minimum, don't fear! The head pro instructed us to drop a ball on the other side. Hmmm. With no official drop zone, I believe that would be cheating. Bummer. Just keep hitting until you hit your maximum score. Having fun yet?

Pretty good conditions. Challenging course. Hate the bag drop.
