The Springs Course at The House on the Rock Resort and Golf Club
About
The Springs Course is the original course at the House on the Rock Resort & Golf Club. There is also the North Nine Course, which was added more than 20 years after the first course. Despite the difference in age and length, both golf courses provide rounds that are as scenic as they are challenging. The Springs is a Robert Trent Jones design, although the lush terrain of the Wisconsin River Valley also deserves credit. The course sweeps along the valley floor and incorporates Jones signature elements, including narrow landing areas and plenty of bunkering. Water hazards also come into play on almost every hole. Two notable holes are the ninth and 18th, par 4s that wind back to a massive double green guarded by water on one side and sand traps on the other.

First Time Here
We enjoyed the course. Unfortunately, we had a very slow party ahead of us, so it took way too long to play. Will definitely come back but when it is not on a busy Saturday!

Course Layout is long and challenging. No GPS on Carts. Fairways are in good shape, rough a little long & Greens had some brown spots may be due to lack of rain/watering. Wildlife is plentiful; deer, birds & butterflies.
Always a good time, greens a little burnt up
The Springs Course is showing promising signs of recovery. After a difficult year spent overhauling the irrigation system, the conditions have noticeably improved, and the new fleet of Yamaha golf carts is a welcome upgrade. As always, the staff is incredibly friendly, and the beverage cart service was excellent in keeping us hydrated during the heat. While the course is on the right track, it was frustrating to have the grounds crew operating heavy equipment, mowers, and trimmers directly in our path throughout the front nine during our 11:00 am round. Fortunately, the staff was happy to accommodate our request to play the North Nine for the second half of our day, which was in excellent condition and proved to be a great test of golf.

If you haven't golfed House on the Rock course, it's well worth the drive and the money. Challenging yet forgiving for us weekend warriors. Staff is very friendly.
We were surprised that they recently had aerated the greens without much top dressing so the holes were very exposed any really effected our putting.We should have been told that they just had aerated the greens
Once great, now needs some TLC
Have played here for decades and love the setting. Unfortunately, every year the conditions deteriorate. Bunkers were largely dirt, trees are overgrown, and some of the greens/tees are in rough shape. Still enjoyed the round, but recalibrate expectations if you've been here before.
Beautiful place, amazing scenery
Beautiful place to play, amazing scenery, greens could be patched up a little bit but other then that it’s a great course
Not a bad alternative to some of the other courses in/around Dane County, especially if you can get a good rate
Pace of play was terrible with a bunch of guys celebrating someone's birthday. That's fine but that's no reason not to be mindful of those behind you piling up.
great course
Very challenging because of the wet conditions, because of all the rain.
