Bull at Pinehurst Farms
About
The Bull at Pinehurst Farms has the distinction of being the first Jack Nicklaus Signature Course in Wisconsin. This highly acclaimed golf course is ranked in the top three in Wisconsin and was ranked as one of the top 100 public courses in the U.S. by Golf Digest. Formerly the Pinehurst Dairy Farm, the rolling terrain was transformed into a challenging and scenic layout. The golf course stretches to 7,354 yards from the back tees. It is a round that will test both your distance and your accuracy. Mature trees and native grasses accentuate the lush greens hills. There are a variety of elevation changes throughout the course, some of which are seemingly benign but can actually be quite tricky. The golf course closes with a memorable par 4 that has water in play, in the form of a lake and a rocky creek, until the sloped green.

Best value in golf
This course offers the best value anywhere!! Excellent condition, some of the best greens. Might not be quite as good as some nearby, but for $100-$150 or less
The Bull Bucked Me
If you’re looking for a punishing round of golf with trouble around every corner then you will probably love this course. The Bull is a Jack Nicklaus signature design with lots of bite.
The course starts out with a couple straight forward par 4s to break you in, but it feels like it gets tougher every step of the way. Get ready for forced carries, narrow landing zones, and plenty of tough decisions as you navigate around the property. Bring lots of spare golf balls! You are going to lose a few unless you are perfect off of the tee.
The course works its way through a forest with a beautiful river running through it, the conditions are impeccable, and every hole is interesting. Jack wanted us to love the look of the course, but I can tell that he wanted us to walk off the 18th gritting our teeth.
To be clear, there is nothing funky about the course. The layout is solid and fair. It’s just tough.
I wouldn’t pass up a chance to play The Bull, but expectations need to be tempered heading into the round. The property is spectacular, but it may be a tough scoring day on the course.
Jacky Boy you did it
Gotta love seeing inside the mind of one of the greatest with this eye grabbing cut course in the Wisconsin land. Must include if making a trip and hitting Kohler courses.
Great course
First time playing The Bull and I wasn’t disappointed. Very windy and I felt it on the first 4 holes but much of the course is set lower than those holes and the wind wasn’t as bad. The course was in very good condition and is a great value comparing the rates to nearby Blackwolf Run.
Wind day at The Bull
Ours scores were terrible but we had a great time. We were just a twosome and we finished in just under 4 hrs. Mother Nature had more in mind when the gusts of wind were way over 30 mph. Still a blast to play the track.
Always love playing there. Only issue I had this time was a foursome four groups ahead of us decided to stop after nine and sit down to have lunch. By the time we made the turn, had to wait on every shot for the next seven holes. Otherwise, had a great time!
Good course. Not so good ownership.
*The bag drop guys/starter were great people!*
I had a tee time at 1:40 and we didn’t finish our ninth hole until almost 5:00pm. Groups were stacked up on every tee box on every hole. Didn’t see the marshal even one time…. My group was struck by 2 different golf balls while waiting on greens to clear from the impatient golfers stacked up behind us.(I’ve never even been hit by one..let alone two.) I am from out of state so I asked the young kid in the pro shop if he could do a 18 hole rain check instead of 9 because of the awful experience and time/cost for me to get back up here…They said “no we don’t do that”. I asked if this was unreasonable, and if I could speak with someone else about it to get them more information. He then ganged up on me with his buddy and told me to leave as they yelled “not at a top 100 course!”
They do not care about your experience, they just want your money. I’ll waive the white flag if I’m the only one to have a problem like this. If you have experienced something like this here, let me know!
Great Course
I think this is one of the best courses in Wisconsin. Beautiful piece of land filled with woods and water, hills and ravines. I think it's fairly priced and more accessible than the courses that get a lot more publicity. And at the fall rate, this track is a steal. Play it. It's a fun and gorgeous course and an enjoyable challenge.
Course was in excellent condition, even though it had rained the night before 1.5 inchs. It was cart p[ath only. after that amount of rain the sand traps were playable.
