Rating 75.3

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.

Not what it used to be...

Hadn't played here in a couple years, is one I've always looked forward to playing because of green conditions (best in S.E. WI) and challenging, very beautiful course...was shocked to see how far the conditioning had fallen off. I understand the bunkers being prepped for the upcoming State Open but what had been a pristine beautifully maintained course looked very rough and ragged throughout. Some of the greens were in terrible shape (#17 in particular) compared to recent past history. The range was unbelievable.
While I'm thrilled to be able to get on courses easily and pay discounted greens fees now compared to years ago, the downside to the changes in the golf industry are playing once delightful courses that are now only shadows of themselves....

Solid layout - good option between Milwaukee and Kohler

Three of us played around 4:00 PM Friday on our way to Kohler. Booked for $75 each via GolfNow. Very nice layout, good mix of interesting holes. A few blind shots, but nothing too penal. Perhaps it's intentional, but a few bunkers could use some maintenance. Wet day, so carts had to stay on paths. We weren't told at check-in that the halfway house would be closed when we made the turn around 6:00 PM. Good value for what we paid. Rack rate seems high

At least there is a practice area?

The practice area is better than any county course but it is quite obvious this is where they are cutting costs... but its included so eh... Course is great I will play it again.

Great Golf Course

This is a great golf course, can be very challenging but very fun. There are some hidden hazards to watch out for the first time through, but nothing I would call 'unfair'. (except maybe the 18th green... that was an extremely fast green and tough to hold, and keep a putt near the hole.. although when I played it, it was about 100 degrees outside..

A lot of blind shots

Play a bit slow many holes have blind landing areas. Without local knowledge almost impossible to figure out how to play. Hidden hazards and imprecise distance help makes for very tricked up holes.
