Trappers Turn Golf Club - Lake/Canyon
Rating Snapshot
About
Trappers Turn Golf Club boasts 27 scenic holes that tumble across the glacier-carved hills of Wisconsin Dells. The rolling countryside provided the perfect terrain for course designers Andy North and Roger Packard to create a challenging course, or actually three different 18-hole courses. The team first designed the Canyon and Lake nines and added the Arbor nine in 2000. Each nine has a different character and incorporates a variety of holes. The Lake/Canyon combination combines links-style holes with woodland holes. The Lake Course has four holes that play along the edge of the 13-acre Mystic Lake. There are a variety of elevation changes throughout the golf course, but perhaps none as memorable as the extreme drop in elevation on the Canyon's par-3 seventh, Trappers Turn's signature hole. The hole spills down onto a small green that is situated amidst a glacier-carved canyon but it is not as intimidating as it looks.

Great Dells area course
There are too many amazing WI golf courses to really stand out. But this course is worth the trip if your at the Dells and on vacation, this is the one in the area that is worth your time. Loved it!
Wonderful course with breathtaking views. Very dry conditions but all fairways and greens were in perfect condition. Challenging course that rewards precision over length. Three of us had a fabulous time.
Great late season shape!
Played 18 holes on this freakishly warm November day. The greens have recovered fairly well post being aerated. Fairways and tee boxes are in excellent shape given the time of year.
November Golf
Thank you Golf Now for the Hot Deal! First time there. Very nice course. You have to hit the ball straight on the Canyon course. The Arbor course is more forgiving. 72 degrees in November in Wisconsin I couldn’t have a better place to spend my day.
Great Staff
Staff was friendly and accommodating. I was a single player and they made the effort to pair me up with another 2 some and got me out a little earlier.
Father, Son and Grandson Golf
This was my 1st time at Trappers Turn. I am a 67 year old golfer and enjoyed a wonderful round of fall golf with my son and my 13 year old grandson. The course layout is magnificent and was in excellent shape. The most challenging holes were the par 3’s. I hope to play Trapper’s Turn again sometime.
Like Putting on a Picnic Table
I have been to Trappers several times. I for the most part like the course. We only go when there is a deal on Golfnow.com. This past week went in the morning on a beautiful day. I can tell you this was one of my least enjoyable rounds of the summer. I have played 75+ times this summer. Putting is my thing. I can always make adjustments to the greens. The greens on this day were the most absolute unfair I have ever seen greens. I don't mind missing or even three putting once in a while. I actually had a four putt on 12. The greens were unplayable in my opinion. I will not go back. There are too many other courses in the Dells area to play. Sorry Trappers! No more for me. The beer is off the charts expensive. If you want a fair course with a good price on beer try Cold Water Canyon. Played there today and shot a 85. Nothing special I know, but at least we were treated fairly.
GPS
The GPS in the cart we had didn’t work and the person we talked to in the pro shop indicated that it was new and needed a few rounds before it worked. I gave it two more holes, talked to a different person, who sent a replacement. The person that delivered the replacement cart said it happens all the time. This should have been the outcome the first time I called in.
Laying out
Every hole was excited don't know what coming up to see.
