Lake Wisconsin Country Club

It was a beautiful morning — slightly overcast, the rain threat was mostly gone. It was going to be a great day for golf. Could anything ruin it? Sure, but not this day… not this round…
I hadn’t golfed Lake Wisconsin Country Club before, but it was on the to-​do list, and today was the day. The course was in great shape, especially after all the rain and being right on the Wisconsin River. Water was no issue, thankfully. The surroundings are beautiful, and I can only imagine it gets better in the fall. Trees, hills, the river, the dam… Additionally, the electric carts helped the «back to nature» feel — no extra noise or stink. Love that.
The course was playing short today — a lot of the tees had been moved up from their usual spots (one of our group plays there often, so we had that insight). I thought the holes were of a good variety — some straight, some dog-​legs (both left and right), and some tough decisions (go for it with driver, or lay up with iron). Bunkers are well placed, but not a nightmare. The layout was unique, starting with a par 4÷5÷4÷5÷4 and then hitting back-​to-​back par 3’s on the back 9. The holes run along each other at times, so on a busy day, you would need to keep your head on a swivel, but this morning was peaceful and we weren’t too worried about other golfers.
The pro shop is adequate, but the building itself was a bit confusing (finding bathrooms among the offices, pro shop, etc.). But who cares? I’m there to golf.
I wasn’t a fan of the driving range being tucked between three of the holes — that felt a little out of place and dangerous (had there been folks at the range).
Will I come here again? Shoobetcha.
