Course Availability


For those of you who want to brave Wisconsin’s Spring weather, the course will open for walkers starting this Thursday April 4th after 11 a.m. The forecast improves Friday through Sunday so we shall be able to take off the winter caps on the golf balls. No carts available on Thursday and Friday. We suspect carts will be available on the FRONT NINE only, beginning this weekend, but we want to see how the forecast develops later this week. The wetness/softness on the back nine will result in NO CARTS for at least the next week until conditions firm and dry up more.

Some other items to mention…
  • The course has had a lot of heaving from the Winter and due to that we have a few bunkers on the course that can play as Ground Under Repair until they are addressed.
  • All the bunkers on hole #12
  • The Fairway bunker on hole #1
  • The Right side of #1 Fairway – significant heaving.
  • The Left green side bunker on hole #8
  • The Fairway bunker on #11
  • There are also a number tree stump holes and stump grinding debris yet to be filled in and picked up. Those areas should also play at Ground Under Repair.
  • The driving range should be open for practice as well.

Cooking is like golf, you just slice it, chip it and put it on some greens...
