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.

Fantastic Experience
Every aspect of Trappers Turn is a master class in how a truly great course is ran. From the helpful staff to the course conditions not a blemish on the card. Id highly recommended everyone experience this wonderful course.
Amazing course with one glitch
Well kept course with great service. Had a great round with my son. Started off on time but was surprised to see an "eightsome" was allowed to be on the course in front of us for the last 3 holes. Slowed us down just a bit so it certainly didn't ruin the day but was surprised that it was allowed.
Great Course, Better Course Management Needed
Outstanding layout, beautiful course, really fun putting course too!
However, this course allows people to play in groups of more than four. There were both groups of five and eight in front of us on the course and nothing was done.
The driving range and practice facility was really a let down also, mats only and the chipping green wasn’t even cut.
Garbage all over the course also.
A lot of potential here but very simple yet heavily missed things would make me spend ten bucks more elsewhere in the area if I had to make a choice.
Do Not Recommend
Only one person running the golf shop register. Almost late for my tee time and was then feeling rushed to hit some balls and putt before my round. This was then followed by no rangers at all monitoring pace of play or letting people play through. Two people took 4.5hrs to play and they weren’t that busy there was plenty of times we could play through and groups wouldn’t let us. Contacted clubhouse and nothing came of it. Better off going to Wild Rock where they take care of their guests.
First Time Here! Will Be Back!
Course has a way to go yet but its early as evidenced by blizzard 3 days later. But the layout is great. Played Canyon/Arbor and even tho only second time out for quite a while we finished in under 4 hrs.
The Restaurant was an unexpected pleasure! Best salad bar in WI so far. The prime rib was perfect and my chicken piccata was fantastic! Will be back soon. Service was excellent too!
Tee boxes were really beat up. Greens rolled nice but still effects of aerating.
the course was in wonderful shape. I would recommend this course to anyone. They had four sets of tees. I played the forward ones.
Amazing Layout; a Wisc Dells Golf Gem
If you ever wondered if you should play Tappers Turn, a simple suggestion. Do it.
Amazing layout and a great staff
Wonderful Facility
My wife and I enjoyed our visit to Trappers Turn. The Lake and Canyon nines were in great condition. Spacious fairways, large bent greens, and just enough intimidation factor made our day a great challenge. My wife, a botanist, loved the combination of wildflowers on the course and the spectacular plantings near the clubhouse. The only suggestion for improvement would be to add a shorter set of tees, somewhere in the 4500-4700 yard range. Youths and seniors would benefit.
