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.

Warm and Windy

I played this course 3 years ago, and it is exactly as I remembered. I got a good deal on rates through Golf Now, and was a great value.

Greens roll fairly quick, and the course has some pretty holes.

Driving Range is ok, Putting Green is large and very nice.

Overpriced tourist attraction

Like everything in the dells kinda not worth it. It’s OK just not worth it. They gouge you if they can I looked on GolfNow and paid half the price I paid to walk in and play . Not well Taken care of the grass was super high and you hit it out of the fairways, you couldn’t find the ball because the grass was so high everywhere. You think they would’ve had somebody cut it at some point sometime but nope just like everything else in the dells it a tourist traps taking money out your pocket.

New additional tee markers

Many have panned this course as too easy, too short. Not anymore. Now like most courses, you can pick the yardage you are most comfortable playing. This course has tight holes, open holes and holes that require bending the tee shot. Expect to loose a ball or two, but enjoy the scenery.

Great Course experience

First time golfing at Cold Water Canyon. Was a late morning tee time and winds in the 10-15 mph range. If you mis hit with the narrow fairways your ball was gone. I could’ve slowed my pace a little bit and enjoyed the day. Will definitely be back to get redemption.

"Smart" cart was intrusive and irritating

Each cart is governed by a GPS-enabled iPad-like device that hangs from the front of the cart and nags the golfer. The iPad was irritating and intrusive. I wish I could've turned it off. It didn't even work properly. For example, on the 9th hole I hit a fairly good tee shot that landed to the left of the fairway in the rough. When I took the cart to my ball, the iPad announced that I had left the course and instructed me to return the cart to the course. This was ridiculous because my ball was right next to the fairway. And now the cart stubbornly refused to work, which was perhaps some kind of anti-theft featured. I removed and pocketed the cart key, removed my bag of clubs from the back of the cart, and carried my bag up the hill to the clubhouse so I could put them on a different cart. This task was annoying and irritating. It was also humiliating that the iPad (an inanimate object) implied that I was trying to steal the cart! I notified the staff of the disabled cart next to the fairway on the 9th hole and finished the 18 holes on a different cart. The iPads on the golf carts are a nuisance. They're not needed or wanted. Get rid of them! Low tech is better.

Has to Be Better

For being in the WI Dells and the other courses that have a top level courses l, they need to do better. The course is very short but the greens are terrible.

Great staff

The only complaint I have, is the rough was a bit long. To the point where we lost a few balls, that definitely weren’t in trouble. Staff was awesome. My 8 year old had a great time. They treated him great.
