Trappers Turn Golf Club - Lake/Canyon

Trapper's Turn is located on the outskirts of the Dells, so after driving through waterpark and touristy madness on the strip, the scene returns to nature with beautiful woods and trees. It's here that Andy North, a native in the Badger state, built a 27-hole course that delivers one heck of a day of golf and Midwest hospitality.

I loved everything about the Canyon-Lake routing except for the very difficult first hole. From there, it is infinitely fun with a nice mix of scoring holes and challenging ones with strategic twists.

What really surprised me was the food-and-beverage operation in the large clubhouse. Thankfully, I played on Sunday morning and finished just in time to splurge on an all-you-can-eat prime rib Sunday brunch.

That night, I returned for a fine meal, kick-started by an appetizer of Wisconsin's largest cheese curds. Yum.

Loved everything about the entire complex! Will admit though... hole #18 on the Canyon course totally kicked my butt!!

Beautiful time of the year to enjoy this course. Played the Canyon and Arbor.

Fallen leaves are always a challenge. GPS on cart is very helpful. Always a fun time.

Greens in great shape except on Canyon 9 which were recently aerated.

For a person who plays golf 4-5 times per week I was very disappointed on the course conditions. The fairways were over watered, standing water in bunkers, and the food is a bit over priced. Staff was awesome, however, I wouldn't recommend paying more than $30 for 18 holes and a cart there. I was really looking forward to playing there again since the last time I played at Trapper's was 4 years ago and I brought a good friend down telling him all about how beautiful this course is during the 2 hour drive. Completely unhappy. I've played many courses during the summer and this one is by far the worst kept course. I don't recommend anyone to play here until they can revive the patchy greens and stop watering their fairways so much.

I had heard a lot about Trappers from people in the area and that it was THE course to play at in the Dells. I was not disappointed as it gave me choices throughout every hole not just having to go driver, driver, driver every time. I play Canyon/Arbor and loved the differences of the two. Canyon can have very narrow fairways at times or immediate doglegs in the layout so you have to think about your shot instead of just stepping up and going. Arbor was a great change of pace and I enjoyed the different elevation changes especially holes 15 and 16 teeing from an elevated drop and then teeing onto an island green. I had a great $18 deal and would love to play again if I found another as $80 is a little too rich for my blood. Awesome course and a must play if staying in the dells.

Incredibly disappointing to pay over $80 and the bunkers are not raked. Played at 7:05am so traps should've been fresh, however footprints from the previous day were evident. Also, the grass hitting in the range is full of weeds. I've played this course multiple times and it's evident the lack of detail the are putting into this course.

My buddy and I, along with our family, stayed overnight in Wisconsin Dells. The family decided to get park passes so I started to search via Golf Now to see if there were any deals in the area. Turned out to be a very good choice as we choose Trappers Turn.

We played Arbor/Lakes. We were greeted by a young man who took our bags and placed them on the carts while we checked in. Had no problem with the check-in process. We were allowed to tee off before our Hot-Deals time. A start checked us in and we were off. Greens were rolling true and fairways were a little wet from rain the day before. It was cart path only so we didn't get to utilize the gps to our content. Course layout was challenging so you had to be precise with your tee shots. Good thing we played from the Blue tees and not the Gold. We enjoyed the challenges of all the holes.

Between rain, play stopped, and rain again, I managed to have a good 18 hole round at a beautiful golf course. Top notch club, large clubhouse, valet bag drop off, GPS carts, the whole nine yards.

Only interaction with staff were the bagboys and the ranger, who were all pretty cool guys.

The price got me to the golf course. I think I need to get my game in shape a bit to warrant the $60-$70 green fee that is the usual. But I had a great day!

Really enjoyed this beautiful well manicured Golf Course

This is an excellent golf course and was in excellent condition. I played the Arbor/Lakes course with 2 men from Texas attempting to play in all 50 states. We played the round in three hous and 15 minutes.

I was on vacation purchasing a property nearby, I always wanted to play

trappers turn. I booked a hot deal on golf now for 1:42PM, I was running a little behind

& arrived 10 Minutes before my tee time due to the fact my closing took longer then expected. I greeted the young gentlemen in the clubhouse & he just gave me a head

nod. He then said your on the tee box with the 2-some, I explained my situation to him & asked if I could warm up at the range then tee-off ( keep in mind it's Sunday afternoon at 2pm & its drizzling rain about to thunder storm) no joke, the course was empty.

He looked at me all crabby & replied " NO YOU GOT A HOT DEAL"

Why offer golf now deals if this is how you treat customers?

I could understand if the course was packed on a beautiful day,

but the place was empty! I just left the course & never played my round.

I would not recommend this place to anyone!

Love the course. Wish we lived closer!And got a good deal for 18 holes with cart thanks to Golf Now. Clubhouse employee was very friendly, knowledgeable and helpful!!! Bar staff was ok but could have been more personable! Overall a good day of golf and hope to return again soon!!

I got a great deal on golf now with a 'hot deal' and went out to play Trappers. Easy check-in at the desk, friendly personnel. Grabbed a golf cart, hit a few at the range, and went on my way to play. Mind you there was basically no one out there. I played Arbor/Lake. Greens were still suffering from the hole-punching but they werent too bad. Fairways were very nice as were the tee boxes. Overall a decent layout and good time, and a great value for the money.

great course but very windy and the slowest round I've had all year; would have liked a senior tee box

I played early in the morning on a cool fall day and had never been to Trapper's Turn before.

The staff were very helpful and friendly. I almost got a hole in one and the greens were some of the best I have played on all year.

I would definitely golf here again.

Haven't played the course in about 5 yrs. and it is still all what I remembered. The only negative thing that I have is on the canyon course is that one of the par 3 greens was pretty beat up but they are working on it but still playable. Other than that the course will give you all you can handle.

Played for the first time recently. I must say, this was one of the better experiences I've ever had golfing. The staff was one of the friendliest I've ever met. Pricing on beverages and food was reasonable for the quality of course that Trappers Turn is. Speaking of the course, immaculate shape. I am very glad I took a chance and experienced it. Definitely returning!
