Great course carved into the Baraboo Bluffs

Beautiful views and course was in good shape...for going on the 4th of July I would ha e expected multiple beverage carts on the course but we only seen 1 at hole 5 and never had any service again!

great views

i tied my lowest round ever for 18 holes and shot an 84. the greens weren't in the best of shape and they had been aerated. it was a very windy day with gusts of about 30mph and much of the sand on a couple of the holes had blown off the aerated greens making them quite bumpy. still a great round, looking forward to the grass growing and filling the holes in.

great course

I played the Prairie Glen and really enjoyed it. A caution to everyone about the sand traps. There were a lot of stones in the traps and more sand needed.. I am really surprised this has not been taken care of.

Many challenging holes with beautiful views

we were greeted by a very friendly staff and the pro was very helpful. We had later tee times but the staff sent us out earlier because there were some openings on the course. We loved the beautiful view on the Glacier course. We would play this course again bringing more of our friends to this course.

Pretty tight course!

You better have a straight ball! If you go off the fairway, forget it. You won't find it. Hit another one. The views were breathtaking. Over all, had a great time.

Very disappointed

Beautiful course, in the right hands could be very nice. Greens were pathetically slow, fairways were spotty. Carts were in bad condition. Cart paths were broken up. Sand traps were sand less and unraked. Pace of play was good. Very serene and quiet, just a shame it isn't kept up. For a resort I just expected much more. Drinks and food incredibly over priced.

Hidden Gem

We have played the course several times this summer. We love the Glacier. Private and beautiful. Beer is very expensive, but the golf was very reasonable. Overall, I give the experience an A.

Beautiful views from the glacier!

We have played here before, and they have had made it a bit more challenging by letting the grass grow between many of the holes. This has given it more of a links course feeling with the subtle difficulty of keeping the ball away from the grass. The greens were in great shape-not all chewed up like some other resort courses. As usual, the help is all super nice and go out of their way. They are due for some new golf carts...after golf we recommend dinner there. Awesome!

fun course spectacular setting

Have played Devil's Head for 30+ years. Family owned resort which is more interested in the ski business. Course has never been known for its condition, fairways are often rough and hard and greens are inconsistent and notoriously slow. The conditions between the original 18 and the two nines added later are quite inconsistent. Currently, the greens on the original "glacier" 9 are in the best shape.

The good news is this course is built on a spectacular piece of land, it resembles a foothills environment with elevation changes unlike nearly anything you will find in Wisconsin. So the layout is a lot of fun to play and if you keep the ball in play
you can score well and have a blast. The course has a remote feel and the scenery is fantastic. I really think this place is one of the best kept secrets in Wisconsin, and could be developed into a world class golf resort if somebody bought it.

As far as value, the standard rate is high for 18 but they are offering a lot of discounts these days, and the annual "2 for 1" which runs through Memorial Day, and includes unlimited golf, is one of the best deals anywhere. They charge an outrageous $6 for a can of beer and the resort food is nothing special.

Great place to get away from it all! It's still close enough to Sauk City that it makes for a great day getaway!

Beautiful views

Weather was threatening so we had the course to ourselves. The views were fantastic! We golfed slowly and enjoyed the surroundings. Top quality course with lots of challenges. Not sure I would want to pay the regular $74 rate but sure enjoyed my GolfNow rate. Will play course again next year.

For the scenary alone, this course is worthwhile!

The fairways are pristine, however some of the greens and tee boxes are not in the best condition and need some attention. The views from the top of the course are really great, so take a look down towards Lake Wisconsin, but don't take your eyes off of some of the tight fairways!

Poor poor poor

I really hate to bash a golf course but this place just had too many issues. From no water in any of the on course water coolers, to hardpan lies all over the course, to dead spots and even just dirt on the greens, and finally having to follow a group of 7 with five carts, this course was just not enjoyable at all.

very challenging course

The course conditions were ok. The course has a very challenging layout. The price a think is a little high, but has to do with being close to the dells. For the right price its worth a look.
