About

Type Public
Par 72
Length 6644 yards
Slope 125
Rating 72.2

Clifton Highlands Golf Club, just north of Prescott, enjoys a scenic location overlooking the St. Croix River Valley. The club offers a championship 18-hole course as well as a par-3 course. Dr. Gordon Emerson, Wisconsin's most prolific course designer, designed the Championship Course. He considered it some of his best work. The golf course has enough diversity to appeal to both low and high handicappers. The layout is fairly tight with mature trees framing many of the holes. The undulating greens and fairways are meticulously maintained. A combination of water and sand comes into play, providing a fair amount of challenges without being too punishing. In addition to the 27 holes, Clifton Highlands G.C. also has a driving range and practice greens that are adjacent to the first tees of both golf courses.

Friendliest course ever

It had been a few years since we made the drive to play this course and we will be back much sooner. The course is in good shape with a good layout. We played 18 in less than 4 hours and 30 minutes, so the pace was good. What stood out for me was the friendliness of staff! I can’t count how many times we were asked by staff how we were enjoying the course. They seemed legitimately invested in making our golf day a good experience.
