The BOG
About
The Bog in Saukville has consistently been ranked as one of the top 10 golf courses in Wisconsin. At 7,110 yards from the back tees, it is a course that will test both your distance and accuracy. The course takes no time in introducing its challenges. It opens with an uphill par 5 that requires a straight tee shot in order to avoid the bunkers that line both sides of the fairway. There are also at least 12 bunkers within 100 yards of the greens just waiting to swallow up errant shots. The golf course also provides a scenic round with mature trees and lush landscaping enclosing most of the holes. It can be a tough test but different sets of tees make it more approachable. The Bog is also a popular place for its practice facility, which includes a driving range and short game area.

Golf Advisor: Top Courses in Wisconsin (2015 #11)
Reviews
Tight fairways, difficult greens
The course requires accuracy.course knowledge is critical as it’s Easy to lose balls.
Could use new management
Decent course. Although tricked up with blind shots etc. Greens were nice , fairways and tees need some work. All of the staff were very friendly and pleasant.
Food service and halfway house was very inadequate . Out of many items including bratwurst! Ha! Service was slow, need more servers to get people served and on their way to the next tee. Beer wasn’t cold either.🤷♂️
After our round we looked forward to a 19th hole libation but were told the bar was closed due to a wedding taking over the entire clubhouse when they had a separate barn for wedding events. I would suggest management visiting Sheboygan or Lake Geneva golf sites to view how good venues run their operations or hiring a new manager to get things right. Not worth the $100 green fee that we paid.
Won’t be returning.
disappointing
First time playing the Bog. I had heard this was a good course. i have played many Arnold Palmer courses and never been disappointed so my expectations were fairly high. Overall the design is a little quirky especially the back nine. It feels a little like they ran out of property to fit a couple of holes in. Certainly not Palmers best effort. When combining that with the fact that course service was minimal, slow play for a weekday and not managed and overall felt like the staff was there just to take your money, I would not go back.
The Bog.
Always one of my favorite courses !Great price! Best part- I shot my age!!! I'll be back.
"blinded by the light"
I had not played the course and was really looking forward to it, especially after scoring a great "hot deal". I prefer courses that I have some idea where to hit the ball and this was certainly not one of them. On the back nine i hit a perfect drive down the middle and ended up on a sidehill lie in the fairway with the ball a foot below my feet! I think they should give out free course books with every golfer.
Challenging and beautiful
One of my favorite courses around. Played it twice this year and will play it again next year.
5 star layer out with 5 sets of tees
Even middle tee box still too long to carry for average golfers who only has 200yard tee shot.
Ridiculously slow play
Foursome in front of us refused to allow us to play through with 2/3 holes at times spacing. Golfers were playing two with flags in and two with flags out. Alternating putt outs with players replacing flags to finish some within 2 feet. Play was so slow we were hit into twice on front and I approached the group behind us and warned them that it would not be a good thing to hit into us again. They maintained their distance moving forward. Was a very warm day and the slow play made the experience nearly unbearable. Ranger was never seen throughout the entire 4.5 hour round. My group typically maintains a 3 hour pace and this was unacceptable to wait 10+ minutes per hole.
Needs a little TLC
I'm guessing this was once a great course. The greens and most of the fairways were in pretty good shape, several of the tee boxes were severely lacking in green grass. They had done a little bit of aerating to try and bring them back, but it is going to take a bit more than that. The pro shop staff couldn't have cared less if we were there. Thankfully the cart girl was pleasant. At $75 it was worth it, but not sure how much more I'd spend than that as there are other courses I'd rather play for the money (i.e. Wild Rock, U-Ridge to name a couple). I'd give some of the conditions a pass after what was probably a very heavy couple of weeks with Ryder Cup traffic. I don't think the King would be happy to see how it looks now though.
Great must play course
This was a great day of golf. Great bag drop and pro shop check in. Starter was very friendly and helpful. Cart girls were friendly cute and often seen. Food was good and great golf. I will play again soon.
Great layout and conditions. Play the Bog
Disappointing
There was an outing scheduled before us that slowed down play considerably. I would choose not to golf behind an outing again in the future and would appreciate knowing about it so I can make the choice. Also, I was stuck several times unable to move forward with my cart because I was "too close to a restricted area." It would be nice to know where the restricted areas are before I get stuck in them. I was not too close to the greens in my opinion. I was driving single and the other 2 in my group did not have the same trouble with their cart. It was very aggravating. And finally, the women's tee boxes were set up poorly. Whoever placed the markers put them very close together and facing toward the bushes in several instances. I finally moved the marked myself to a more realistic position. I shouldn't have tried to tee off from within the original locations on several holes! Overall, for these reasons, we found our day at the Bog disappointing. And it was my husbands birthday too!
Challenging track
Always enjoy a round at the bog. Dry summer has been tough on the course, but did not impact play.
Bog = A blast
One of our favorite courses in the state. Well-maintained with a beautiful secluded layout. Each hole is unique challenging all aspects of your game. Staff is always top notch. Looking forward to our next chance to play The Bog.
