Rating N/A

The House on the Rock Resort & Golf Club boasts 27 holes set amidst the rolling hills of the Wisconsin River Valley. There is the original Springs Course, an 18-hole layout designed by Robert Trent Jones, and the North Nine. Despite being a nine-hole course, the North offers just as many challenges as the full-length golf course, just on a smaller scale and like the other course, there is plenty of scenery to enjoy from every hole. The terrain provides a variety of elevation changes that range from subtle to dramatic. The greens flow across the natural contours of the land, which also helped to determine the placement of the bunkers. The philosophy of the golf course's design was that the land should give the course its character rather than the opposite.

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.

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.
