Clifton Highlands Golf Course

About
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.

Highlands Golf
Fun course, tight holes, tricky greens, excellent condition. Worth the drive.
Those Greens!
True and fast greens. Make sure your below the hole!
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.
Fantastic
The Highlands is a fantastic course. Challenging even for seasoned golfers. Amazing scenery and well kept. Looking forward to more rounds there this season.
Average
Flat, short course
Well maintained greens
Driving range is below average
Average course, not very scenic, nothing special
Wisconsin gem
Enjoyed playing this beautiful little course. Fun layout on the shorter side. The closing five holes are amazing. Green rolled true. Friendliest staff.
Great day for golf
Great course. Greens were extremely fast and tricky. Course overall was in good condition. Driving range was not easily accessible and not very big. But the staff was ve4y friendly and helpful. Would go back again
