The North Nine at The House on the Rock Resort and Golf Club
Rating Snapshot
About
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.

Experience after 30 yrs
The course was in great shape, the greens were a little slow, neede mowing & rolling maybe a stint of 7. That was the only criticism I had. My recollection from 30 yrs ago the sand traps were white Gipson sand & were like flour trying to get out of after a vertical entry with the ball often buried. The traps were more traditional but were well maintained & consistent. Great course but a little tough to get too via Cty roads over hill & dale
Greens are in bad shape
Overall course was nice bet the greens are all half dead.
Maple helicopter seeds.
The only reason it got fair condition was there were maple helicopter seeds all over the greens and the fairways.
Beautiful scenery
The fairways were in great shape for April. The greens however suffered some winter kill and the tea boxes need a little repair. All in all a great day for golf.
Beautiful scenery
The course has beautiful scenery tucked in a valley. The fairways were in great shape for April but the greens suffered some winter kill. All in all a great day for golf with very friendly staff.
First time played at here
Course was in great shape as greens were just sanded. This course is very challenging and I will return to play it again. I came from Iowa to visit my son who lives within 30 of the course. Look forward to playing here again.
Disappointed
Had high expectations based on other reviews and cost. Course Conditions were average (actually below many of the lower cost courses we played during two week trip). Course design requires skilled shot shaping on many holes, both due to the hole’s routing and the intrusion of trees into the playing corridors. Greens were generally in good shape. Tree pruning severely needed on course and along cart paths.
Needs More Publicity
I suppose all the new course built in the state over the last several years have taken this course out of the spotlight. But it is a very nice course at a cost far less than the newest high level and high cost courses.
Well maintained, very good greens, and friendly people. Will go again, and again, and again...
This course has always been a classic
The weather was perfect and the course equaled.
Have played this course over the last 30 years, and found it in the best shape ever.
It's a beautiful course. The holes are challenging and very well framed.
I would not miss playing this course. It is exceptional in the fall with the beautiful display of leaf color in the bluffs that surround the course. It is always a treat.
Great course for every degree of your game.
This course is beautiful and extremely well kept. Shot placement is critical in order to reach the greens in regulation. The greens are fast and tricky. Can't wait to play this course again.
Great golf course. Lots of interesting holes with different features.
Great golf course with lots of interesting features.
Hit it on the right day.
The course was not as busy due to weather and events in Madison. We played 27 holes in under 5.5 hours. The re-buy for 9 holes was only $10, there was a wedding which closed the back 9. As far as the play, the course was in great shape....soft fairways and the greens were just challenging enough to make you think you can hit the 50'er.
Beautiful Summer Day
The course has certainly matured during the 30 plus years that I have played here and I thoroughly enjoy the layout, BUT the greens are abysmally slow. I can't express how thoroughly disappointed and frustrated I was in the speed of the greens. I can't say it enough they were SLOW, SLOOW, SLOOOOOOOW!!
