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.

My New Favorite Course

I’m from Georgia and stopped on a road trip to Minnesota. I live near some great courses north of Atlanta and this is my new favorite. Unfortunately I live about 1,000 miles away, so will look forward to my next trip. Played Arbor and Lake 9s and the putting course. Unfortunately not enough time to play Canyon or the 12 hole par 3, but everything looked great. Challenging greens and pin positions, but beautiful and very fun.

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.

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!
