Rating 73.0

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.

Always class

I’ve played here before, but coming back on the 4th of July this year was just so good. Course was in perfect shape, and the American flags on the pins were just icing on the cake. Definitely the best course I’ve played in the Dells. (Haven’t played Wild Rock…yet) Birdied the new #7 canyon hole too. WOW, What a view.

Greens

Really nice layout. Very cool. The greens were slow and a little choppy and the canyon par three you were hitting off a mat and the green was in terrible condition. Super spongy and slow. Disappointing. This course has promise.

Great course

recommend, lots of fun to play. We followed a large tournament that was just finishing later in the day, so pace of play was excellent. I am not sure how you can request a specific course off of golfnow, but we played arbor and lake. I would like to go back and play canyon and lake. Very fun, would recommend.

Gem

Lots of rain leading up to the round. 90 degree cart path rule. Several of the bunkers had standing water. Greens and fairways were in great shape. Playable course with some challenging holes and forced course management. Staff were fantastic. I would definitely play here again. We booked Lake/Canyon. Once we finished we asked if we could play Arbor, they only charged $30 to play Arbor. Pace of play was great...played 27 holes in 5.5 hours.

Great round in The Dells

Trapper’s Turn is a great facility with 3 awesome 9 that will challenge your game. They have 5 sets of tees that allow you to play to the difficulty level to fit your game. Despite having just hosted an outing, the course was still in great shape. The garbage cans were pretty overflowing but the courses still looked great!!
