About

Holes 18
Type Public
Par 72
Length 6625 yards
Slope 136
Rating 72.5

The 27 holes of championship golf at Trappers Golf Club are spread across the rolling countryside of Wisconsin Dells, a landscape that was carved by glaciers thousands of years ago. The terrain provided an incredible canvas for course designers Andy North and Roger Packard to work with. They first designed 18 holes, the Canyon and Lake nines and then added the Arbor nine in 2000. The golf courses can be played as three different 18-hole combinations. The Canyon/Arbor Course combines the old and the new. The Canyon is home to Trappers Turn's signature hole, the par-3 seventh, which has an extreme drop in elevation into a small green that sits amidst a glacier-formed canyon but it is not as intimidating a hole as it seems. The scenery continues onto the Arbor nine, which borders the Rocky Arbor State Park.

Beautiful Day on a Tough Course

I've played Trappers numerous times and I've always enjoyed it. We played on an absolutely beautiful day, 60's, sun with slight breeze. Fairways are not big and some holes have tiny greens. Most holes have penalty areas on either side so it's not a bomb and chip course. Definitely requires you to make golf shots. Love it!

Overall, an excellent course with great facilities. The only issue we had was that the bunkers didn’t have enough sand in the bottom of them. Due to being packed down or wear, we found some had only about an inch at the base which made them difficult to play out of.

Trappers Turn- Great outing!

Overall an outstanding experience! The course was in great condition and was challenging without being demoralizing. The staff were very friendly and helpful for a first- timer. I’d love to play this course again soon!

We found the greens to be unreceptive to good shots. Hard as a rock despite recent rains.

Great course!!

Heavy rains the day before caused it to be a path only play for the day which slowed down the pace. But the course was great

Love Trapper's

After one of the best buffets in the Dells/Madison area, we look forward to our round of golf at Trappers Turn! Wonderful scenic course with some challenging holes! Feels like one of the nicer courses of wisconsin under tournament level! Shot.my best round ever yesterday, but also had some luck!

Great Place to Play

Everything was in great shape, tee, fairways and greens. New carts with soft seats. Clubhouse is great and so is their food.

Slightly disappointing

The first impression around the clubhouse was great. However, I found several disappointing things on the course. Very few of the pitch marks are repaired and many of the tees were completely chewed up!

Very Fun Course

Very fun course to play and in very good shape. Pace on the second 9 was very slow. We were following a foursome of younger people that were very slow. Overall the course was beautiful with very scenic holes. Would play again for sure.
