Cumberland Golf Club

Arrived for our 2:30 tee time at 2:00. Was told we wouldn’t get on the course until 3:00. Then we were told we wouldn’t get on by 3:30 or 4:00. The club had way overbook a golf event. Yes. We saw 6-8 players standing around on greens. We left Cumberland and had a great experience at Turtleback near Rice Lake, WI. The course manager was juggling duties and probably why he was grouchy. I’ve had to call to get a refund after being told by manager that Golfpass would call to confirm Cumberland cancellation on the day of the cancellation. Never happened. Won’t go back to Cumberland. Plenty of good course in the area.

I’ve been playing Cumberland Golf Course for many years now on my annual summertime stay in Cumberland. The course looks very good this year and the grounds crew has done an excellent job cleaning out some of those near “out of bounds” areas where my ball usually flies, making them easy to find. The front 9 is an open layout with great fairways, elevated tee boxes, and the improvement on hole 9 with the new signature water hazard looks excellent. Whoever had the idea to make that improvement was genius. Combining those 2 hazards into a single hazard and adding the rock bank is a great touch. The back 9 was challenging as usual, but again the grounds crew has done a great job in cleaning out some key underbrush to improve playability. To help speed up play, Cumberland has a great marshall patrolling and they have removed the sand rakes so you don’t waste time raking out the traps. Overall—great!

I generally like the Cumberland course and rate it highly for a municipal track. There are some annoying course design/layout elements I would change. The first hole should be a relatively easy, straight par 4. And it’s a sloping ugly short par 5. It would be easy to modify. And the par 3 ninth hole is also ugly with those mucky ponds in front. I really like the par 3 fourth hole. And the par 5 18th hole is nice once you figure out how to play it. The sand traps on the course are awful. Hard and shallow. Please get new sand. Otherwise a nice place to play.

Solid course. Would recommend every golfer in the area stop by for 18.

Even though is was extremely warm, it was a very fun day on a beautiful course. It is very well maintained and provides a challenge for all levels of golfers. They even had a beverage cart on the course even though it wasn't the weekend. I will play there again!

Nice, pretty layout. Good pace of play. Friendly staff. Greens a bit shaggy but it’s early in season. “Sandarita” margarita excellent!
