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!

Course in good condition

Lots of breaks on the greens. There are shorter options on all the tee boxes if wanted..

Other Worldly

Very early season. Aerated greens from last season not quite filled in yet. A ton of on course maintenance has been done. Forest has been thinned and the long grass went through a prairie burn. Hundreds of balls exposed outside the fairways. Most looked like roasted marshmallows. I couldn’t resist hitting a few and they performed remarkably well.
