Aerated Greens

We were not expecting to find aerated greens during the first week of August in Wisconsin. Had we been aware of the aeration, we would have waited a couple weeks to play here. With the aeration and resulting poor green conditions the experience was not what was expected. The rest of the course was in good condition though.

Bad greens

The greens had recently been aerated and not too dressed with sand so putting was a joke. Never seen greens aerated in mid summer before. It is usually done in the fall and green fees are discounted. Great place to play if the greens are in good shape.

Beautiful Course, but Disappointing

We love golfing at this course and were looking forward to our time playing and enjoying the beautiful scenery. The course was beautiful and well cared for. However, we were very disappointed that we were not told ahead of time that the greens had just been aerated, changing the short game dramatically, and there was no reduction in the playing fees. Of course we will come back but we were pretty disappointed.

Greens were horrible. I was not told that they were just punched. The rest of the course was great.

Great Views, Average Staff, Terrible Setup

The course is great with excellent views, that is undeniable. Unique holes with some challenging shots.

The staff was average at best. 1) Bag drop staff had no idea if there were water jugs on course, in the middle of July. 2) The starter was a jerk. Asked if we had a tee time (lol no buddy, we just drove the quarter mile from the clubhouse for fun), and I replied, "Yup, either 8:22 or 8:20; can't remember specifically." In which I was met with a scoff and, "Well I can tell you right now it's not 8:22."....Okay dude, my bad. That's why I gave you two times.

Lastly, the pin locations were bordering PGA difficulty. Everyone set next to a tier or on a major slope. I'm 6 handicap according to USGA and even for me it was frustrating. You are a resort golf course; no one wants to play a course like that on vacation.

Great Course - Great Value

Wild Rock is a great course with a beautiful scenery. Greens can be very challenging. Great value if you are staying at the Wilderness Hotel.

All time Favorite

This course is my all time favorite. I play this course a couple times a year and have for over a decade. In the summer during a vacation with the kids I sneak out for a first tee time round and again in the fall on guys golf trip. The course is demanding but fair and the conditions are always spectacular. The views are the best in the Midwest and prices are outstanding for what you get. I’ve seen deer, raccoons, skunks, hawks, bald eagles, cranes and turkeys on the course. If you ever get a chance to play here do it you won’t be disappointed!!!

Nice course but SLOW pace of play

The course was in good shape overall and well laid out. Provided for some fun challenges. The only significant deficiency was that the pace of play was extremely slow. Over 5 hours for our round. 3 groups were occasionally in the same tee box being held up by a very slow group ahead. I had expected, especially given the upscale nature and cost of the coarse, that there would have been a ranger to help police play and keep it moving at a reasonable pace. Detracted from the experience, and affected my rating.

Beautiful Challenge

Beautiful course to take in Wisconsin for the first time. It was extremely challenging! Beautiful scenery all over! Weather definitely impacted the day making it cart path only. They couldn’t control that aspect, but it made the day harder. Starter, Dwaine, was extremely kind! Would certainly play again if we visit the Dells again. Hole 6 was an amazing view!

Very cool course!

Played this course for the first time and it was awesome. Very cool course, very scenic. Saw tons of wildlife. The holes were interesting and challenging. The only complaint was the greens weren’t real fast and some had been aerated recently so it affected your putts. Other than that would definitely go and play again. The rest of the course was in beautiful condition.
