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.

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!

Beautiful Course

Beautiful course, especially with fall colors. Fast and undulating greens - relatively wide fairways. Approach shot placement very important or welcome to 3 putt land. Only down-side is that pace of play was a little too slow, didn't see a Marshall all day - may have helped move it along a bit. Great price on golfnow.

This course is tops on my list

This course has got to be one of the best in the state of Wisconsin. The condition is fantastic. The cement pathways are wonderful verses going over all the bumps on other courses. With all the different tee boxes you pick how you want to play. Everyone was great.

This is a fabulous course

I have played here before and will be back at least once per year. We had a great day of golf and saw many wild animals. We always see Deer and Turkeys on the course.

Very Impressed with the Course

Was excited to play here with a great day to play it. We played from the back tips for kicks to get our moneys worth only lost 2 balls all day on tees 2&3. Shot 83. Which is my handicap 11. Pace of play was slow. But rangers were trying to speed things up to no avail. We got in at last light. Course was in awesome shape. U will never play greens like these in your life. The slopes R somthing u have to C 4 your self. Love the par 3 15th. Saw tons of Deer. Will play again. Gps systems on cart awawesome.

Awesome course

Beautiful layout, I loved it. I will return here as often as I can. The course is reasonably challenging and very playable for nearly everyone from the right teebox. You probably need to play here a few times to get a feel for the various holes. The greens can be treacherous if you end up in the wrong place, I wish I had taken a few notes for the next time. Well worth the drive and the price.
