Nice Course, Poor Staff Etiuquette

Only got to see the front 9 due to rain but what we saw was very nice even with rain. The child working the desk at the Pro Shop was extremely rude and when asking about a walking rate since it was path only, and to ask the pro (who couldn't be bothered to step out of his office) if there was any such rate, he quipped that it would actually be higher. It was as if he was trying to convince us not to play. A perfect example of the courteous staff. I have played courses all over the country and Wild Rock, while nice, is not a, professional, TPC, or even a 5-star course. You're a course in the Dells, not Bandon Dunes. Tone it down and remember you are in customer service. Expect a nice course and poor customer service.

Great layout

Hurdson and Frye have done several courses Ive played in Ohio. Their site lines, bunkering, use of the topography, all add to the visual pleasure of playing their courses. The course was in great shape and the greens wire quick but also reseptive. My wife road along and said it was the most beautiful place she's ever been to.

Fantastic

Fantastic, scenic, championship course. Course in great condition. Worth $100 all day long. Ranks as one of the top public courses I have played. Elevation changes, strategic bunkering, several different tee boxes to choose from. If you enjoy a great, challlenging layout, you will not be disappointed. Will require good shotmaking.

Rockin' great time at Wild Rock

This is the first time I ever played Wild Rock in the Dells. I don't think I've played a better course then Wild Rock! The views were breathtaking, the course was immaculate, and experience was awesome. My buddy and I did a play and stay, and for $159, we got a hotel stay, carts, 18 holes, range usage and lunch. How can you beat that?! This would be a course I would love to play every day. We already have a set up for next year a group of four of us heading to that course again! A MUST PLAY IN WISCONSIN!!!!!!!!

Nice elevation changes

A must play when in the Dells. A pro at a competing club recommended the course stating it's the best course hands down...I agree.
Beautiful views and dramatic elevation changes. Greens held the ball very well. Greens were semi-fast and putted very true. Unfortunately we played on a very windy day 20-25 mph, wind actually effected puts it was so windy.

Beautiful course - terrible management

Never played on a course with a slower pace of play. 25-30 minutes per hole, five groups on one hole at one point. Drunk bachelor party and nothing done about them. Had to leave with 4 holes left after 4 hours.

Wild Rock Rocks!!

My wife and I are beginning golfers. We were in the Dells area for other pleasures and decided to play a shortened round. Scored a great rate on "Golfnow" and went out in the middle of the afternoon (2:30). the day we picked was just gorgeous! mid 70's with just a slight breeze! Extremely pleasant for mid-July! The staff that greeted us were extremely polite and our check-in was quick and easy. The attendants were also very polite, not pushy like at some courses. When we got to tee #1, the Marshal (again very polite!) explained what was happening ahead of us, the course layout, hazards and so on. He sent us on our way and we barely saw anyone else, except the cart girls!
The course left nothing but "wows and ahhhs" at all the tee boxes and along the impeccable fairways and greens.
Next time we go back it will be to golf and maybe something else!!

Wildlife and golf

Always a challenge to play here. That's what keeps us coming back. Course in great condition and staff always courteous and helpful. Deer are on every fairway and many red headed woodpeckers. Our day was not rushed so we.could enjoy the views. Fairways very scenic.

Best course for excellent golfers to test their game in the Dells.

Hands down, the most challenging, tournament style course in the Dells area. I love this test everytime I play it.

Wild rock is a great course.

We golfed Wild Rock yesterday. My wife and I with two of our friends. The course is in great condition and a lot of the holes are very memorable. We will definitely be back to play wild rock again.

Incredible

This course was by far the best golf course I have ever been too. The fairways felt like carpet and the scenery was absolutely breath taking. Best golf experience I've ever had I can't wait to go back

Wild Rock is a challenging course with great views

A challenging course requiring accuracy from tee to green. The green complexes and bunker placement place a premium on selecting the correct lines. The natural layout and beautiful views make this a visually intriguing course.

Good to get back out

Always fun to play Wild Rock. Had heavy rains a couple of days before so cart path only on a few holes but not bad. Greens still feeling effects from last fall aeration..slow and a little bumpy. Early in the year and rate was good.

Wild Rock Golf Club (Wildnerness Championship Course)

The Good: Fantastic Michael Hurdzan design in the Wisconsin Dells area showcases super course conditions and some of the most challenging, undulating greens in all of Wisconsin. The "Rock" is a big, visually rugged course that in which almost every hole is secluded from the other. While enveloped in woods, the fairways are ample and the elevation changes are amazing. Super clubhouse with very nice restaurant and bar. Very nice on-course amenities including multiple restroom areas and one of the best cart GPS you will find. Strong practice facility, although it is a little ways from the Wild Rock course. Very nice staff and informative starter. Excellent Par 5's and some super Par 3's. Good value at under $100 during peak season. Off-season rates are excellent.

The Bad: Green complexes are so difficult that the average golfer will have nightmares. The practice facility and putting green is far from the opening tee. While many Par 4's are good, there isn't as much variety.

The Verdict: Wild Rock is becoming one of the true "destination" courses in Wisconsin. The crown jewel of the Wisconsin Dells area.

Best Hole: The downhill Par 5 #6 is postcard worthy. Simply stunning!
