Favorite WI golf course that you've played.

[shafted20]

Erin Hills has some of the best natural landscape/layout for any course in Wisconsin. Extremely difficult and long depending on what set of tees you play off of. They just re-did pretty much all of the holes last year to try to get the PGA there and should be in great shape this summer.

Whistling Straits.  Got to go there on a work boondoggle.  Blackwolf Run is great, but I've played several courses of similar quality.  WS is so unique.  Haven't made it to Erin Hills but would love to get there.

You ate at Beaver Lake?

Yep, it's a dead lake. Pretty sure there aren't any fish in there at all. Couldn't launch my boat in either, no public launch.

They hid the launch from anyone named Ari Gold (or similar names)

The only course I ever played in Milwaukee while in college was Brown Deer.  Except for a little par 3 course out by Miller valley, the name of which escapes me now.    On this side of the lake, our version of Whistling Straits is Arcadia Bluffs.   Played there twice.    Amazing.   Greens are always running 11 or better on the stimp, even in October.   More bunkers than they can count.    But you can drive around northern Michigan all summer and play a different phenomenal course every day, as long as you like elevation changes through old growth forests, or lake views.

Doyne Park?!?!

[madtownwarrior]

have not played the Kohler courses -

love Erin Hills, like MorningStar, like SentryWorld, like the Oaks except the first 1 & 3 are like a shooting gallery the way they are laid out, love Bergamont, agree Rolling Hills is far under rated, Hawk's View was cool but pretty pricey, Bishop's Bay is very nice

Value courses in my rotation (good for the low money paid) - Nagawaukee, Ironwood, Kettle Moraine, Rolling Hills, Wanaki

For the money you can't beat Lawsonia and Mascoutin.  Plus, now you can actually buy a beer at Lawsonia.

When did this happen!? Some of my best memories are sneaking beers in, trying to avoid the wrath of the Baptists.

You know if the Catholics had a golf course they would have wine (or PBR if it was run by Jesuits) at every hole in place of water coolers.

I think the recession is hurting the Baptists just like the rest of us.

Troy Burne is a great Tom Lehman designed course on the banks of the St. Croix.

When I worked in Germantown over in 2008, I played a bunch of courses. I could give you a good list of courses that aren't great/thrilling -or just plain suck like Songbird, Blackstone (formerly Lake something), River's Bend, Septic View...

Uggh, Lake Park.  I played there 2-3 times a season during HS golf, what a piece.  I just hated that place and never played well there.  No better example of idiots in jean shorts hacking around for a couple hours and the subsequent toll on the course.

I worked at Milwaukee CC for a summer, played there a bunch of times, was on the course for various events/functions that summer...What a gorgeous course, laid out very well.  It was my favorite place to play during Country Club district play when I was younger too.  Close behind were Bluemound and North Shore CC, no coincidence both used to host the GMO.  I also played SentryWorld when I was a sophmore in college.  Very underrated course.

Northwood Golf Club in Rhinelander.

[MUBurrow]

Oneida Country Club in Green Bay is a pretty nice course.  Although I've only played as an employee, which is not perceived amongst the membership very differently than pool day in Caddyshack.

[LeftyWarrior]

Very interesting question.  It is easy to say all of the big name courses like Whistling Straits, Milwaukee CC or Blackwolf.  The best courses flying under the national radar for me are Washington County, Nagawaukee and Fire Ridge.  All of these are about half the cost of the big name courses and are a blast to play and in great shape.
