Great Layout with country Club conditions

One of my favorite courses even though it is a long drive

I wish every course on Golf Now had this conditioning.

Bent grass fairways, 3-1/2 rough, fast greens that are complex

Good sand in the bunkers

Good GPS on the cart.

I have played private clubs that were not this good.

You get to hit every club in your bag

Very Challenging Greens, Friendly Staff, Overall Good Experience

If you want to test your putting skills, this is the place. Go check out the practice putting green and that’s about what you get out on the course and then some. Staff were all very friendly and great. Pace of play was super fast. Never had to wait to hit. Hot dogs were really good at the club house.

Only downside is it is next to a landfill, so a few holes on the back have a very bad smell.

Nice Links Course

I enjoyed my round very much. The course was in excellent condition. Huge but difficult greens. Some really tough pin placements which made it very challenging.

Great Course

Conditioning of the course was excellent.

The course superintendent has done a great job.

The green are fast, fairways in great condition and the rough is long and penal.

The bunkers have very good sand and are deep.

Interesting layout and country club quality.

It is worth the drive to play this course

Only negative is their GPS system doesn't show where pin is located on green and since I don't use a range finder sometimes the pins were not where I believed. Other than that, great golf course!

Diamond in the rough

Shepherds Crook Golf Course has to be one of the most meticulously cared for golf courses in southeastern Wisconsin. Beautiful course, Friendly staff, and spectacular Brats. Amazing putting green will get you prepared for the challenging greens you will encounter throughout your round. Do yourself a solid and play Shepherds Crook, you’ll be majorly impressed.
