Fun track, great day of golf

Beautiful course, well maintained. Challenging but fair. Greens were sandy due to previous week’s State Amateur qualifier.

Wild Rock

Course was great. The only problem was it was pouring rain and we could only play 9 holes before we had to get off because of the weather . Everything else was great. We will have to come back on a nicer day.

Great views - good conditions - fast and true greens!

Course was set up nice and is well maintained - especially the greens. Love the cart GPS to keep things moving. I look forward to coming back 1-2x/year!

Wild Rock

Always one of my favorite courses. Took my brother, who is from Austin Texas, and he loved it!

Rugged and Beautiful

Wild Rock is a Hurdzan and Fry designed gem in the Wisconsin Dells area. Built on and around an old rock quarry, there are wild elevation changes, and the quarry comes into play on a few holes. The design is really fun and has a rugged look to it in a lot of places.

For the most part, the fairways are pretty wide and forgiving at Wild Rock, but big misses will be punished. There are also several holes with center-line bunkers, which forces the player to make a decision off the tee. I found they were pretty easy to miss, but definitely made me think.

The conditions were really good. They had gotten a lot of rain the day before I played, but the fairways still had some roll to them and the greens weren't overly soft. The greens were not overly fast, but rolled pretty true.

The greens themselves were very tricky. There were several times members of our group thought we hit good shots, only to arrive at the green and find our ball on the wrong side of a hidden slope. It's definitely a course that will be easier played a 2nd time.

A word of caution on booking tee times. I recommend booking on the website, because it seems you get better rates that way. We had a larger group (8 players) so I booked through email, and ended up paying the rack rate. A quick inspection later indicated we would have been better off booking through the Wild Rock website rather than working directly with the pro shop.

Overall Wild Rock is a fun, challenging and beautiful course that is rugged around the edges. I would definitely play again.

My favorite hole is the par 4 12th. It's a long par 4 from an elevated tee. You have to aim at the rock wall in the distance, and then play a precise approach shot to a heavily sloped green.

Really Fun Track

I always enjoy playing WR. Hard enough to be challenging, yet forgiving enough to let you score well if you play well.

I've played there roughly a half dozen times now and have enjoyed every round.

If you're in the area, definitely give it a play.

Visually Stunning Test

Wild Rock is a visually stunning test that is not for the faint of heart. Wide enough fairways to be playable but punishing if you miss them. Cool bunkering that requires thought navigation. Friendly staff with Halfway House after #5 & #9. Not playable for the beginning golfer (they have a short course on property). Biggest area for improvement is on cart GPS. They need to update their technology so that the pin location is synced up.

Beautiful Course—but a few things need attention

Great day on the course today. WILDROCK is my favorite course in the state. Today—-a very warm day ....only one beverage cart. With Covid changing how we do things, there is no water on the course...so you are dependent on the beverage cart. She was working hard, but definitely needed more training——she took WAY TO LONG to get beverages.....while foursomes are piling up behind us.

And then.....at the peak of the heat this afternoon—-she has not Powerade/Gatorade or Water. If you can’t have water on the course, then more water needs to be for sale on the course.

Other than that——the cart staff was great!!! From our arrival to departure, every one of the staff was moving and making things happen. Appreciated that.
