Rating 73.1

Trappers Turn Golf Club offers 27 holes of championship golf that stretch across scenic terrain that was carved by glaciers. The holes are divided into the Lake, Canyon, and Arbor nines, which can be played in three different 18-hole combinations. Andy North and Roger Packard collaborated to design all of the holes. The Arbor/Lake Course starts with the newest nine, which was added in 2000. This nine is known for its scenic views since it has the Rocky Arbor State Park as its neighbor. The Lake nine has four holes that wrap around the 13-acre Mystic Lake. It has a links-style design that incorporates a variety of elevation changes in addition to the water features. Trappers Turn also has a practice facility with a driving range, putting and chipping greens, and six target greens.

Slightly disappointing

The first impression around the clubhouse was great. However, I found several disappointing things on the course. Very few of the pitch marks are repaired and many of the tees were completely chewed up!

Very Fun Course

Very fun course to play and in very good shape. Pace on the second 9 was very slow. We were following a foursome of younger people that were very slow. Overall the course was beautiful with very scenic holes. Would play again for sure.

Amazing course with one glitch

Well kept course with great service. Had a great round with my son. Started off on time but was surprised to see an "eightsome" was allowed to be on the course in front of us for the last 3 holes. Slowed us down just a bit so it certainly didn't ruin the day but was surprised that it was allowed.

Do Not Recommend

Only one person running the golf shop register. Almost late for my tee time and was then feeling rushed to hit some balls and putt before my round. This was then followed by no rangers at all monitoring pace of play or letting people play through. Two people took 4.5hrs to play and they weren’t that busy there was plenty of times we could play through and groups wouldn’t let us. Contacted clubhouse and nothing came of it. Better off going to Wild Rock where they take care of their guests.

First Time Here! Will Be Back!

Course has a way to go yet but its early as evidenced by blizzard 3 days later. But the layout is great. Played Canyon/Arbor and even tho only second time out for quite a while we finished in under 4 hrs.

The Restaurant was an unexpected pleasure! Best salad bar in WI so far. The prime rib was perfect and my chicken piccata was fantastic! Will be back soon. Service was excellent too!

Great Course, Better Course Management Needed

Outstanding layout, beautiful course, really fun putting course too!

However, this course allows people to play in groups of more than four. There were both groups of five and eight in front of us on the course and nothing was done.

The driving range and practice facility was really a let down also, mats only and the chipping green wasn’t even cut.

Garbage all over the course also.

A lot of potential here but very simple yet heavily missed things would make me spend ten bucks more elsewhere in the area if I had to make a choice.
