About Chula Vista Resort & Waterpark

Chula Vista Resort in the Wisconsin Dells provides the best of both worlds for families and golfers. The kids will love the more than 200,000-square-feet of waterparks, while parents can appreciate the pampering of a world-class spa, the chophouse and 18-hole golf course. Groups of all sizes can relax in guestrooms, villas, suites or condos, some with sweeping views of the Wisconsin River. A cinema, arcade, mini-golf, fitness center and more are available. The Cold Water Canyon Golf Club is a tale of two nines, the classic front nine dating to 1923 and the more linksy back nine added in 1999.

Incredibly slow, no rangers. Short course, a lot of poorly kept spots on the course.

Nice course, challenging.

The course was in good condition, and the two nines were very different. Front was tight with lots of trees. Back was more open but lots of bunkers. We got a great weekday rate for summer, and the course played efficiently. I’d definitely play it again if I travel in the Dells area in the future.

GOLFNOW price was great for the course

The course was in good condition, played at a good pace, and was a challenge. Like the option of 5 tee setup for various skill levels. Enjoyed our round. Can’t beat the price due to GOLFNOW hot deals.

Cold Water Canyon

Pace was too slow.

We played 5hr round.

Too slow to enjoy.

People need to play appropriate tees.

What Happened To This Course?

I cannot express how saddened I am that my favorite golf course in the Wisconsin Dells has become what it is today. The old front nine used to be so beautiful, good greens, great fairways, good tee boxes. What I experienced today looks like a golf course that’s for sale. All the tea boxes were chewed up, there were burn marks, and a lot of the greens, the fairways were shaggy and the ruff was unkept The front nine, which used to be such a joy to play was in absolutely atrocious condition. What used to be a nice secluded little nine is now being opened up for God knows what reason lots of trees being cut down lots of construction going on and worst of all the previously noted conditions of the course. If you’re contemplating playing this course, I would only pay for nine and insist on playing the back nine. It certainly appears that they’re only taking care of the back nine these days. Perhaps they’re going to ruin this historic front nine of the golf course to expand the resort and add more zip lines. I have probably played this course 60 times in my life and I will never return. For what they charge for this course it should be in pristine condition and it is anything but. Save your money go to Christmas mountain or Baraboo.

Friendly staff!

Staff was great at check-in! Unfortunately, there was a very large group at the bar and only one bartender, so I could not get a mixed drink for the course… oh well! There was a bev cart on the course! We saw her three times before we finished the first 9 holes. 😀 didn’t get a drink every time though!
