Love this beautiful course. It is well kept and the setting cannot be beat! In the heart of the…read moregreat North Woods of Wisconsin, it is challenging enough to keep seasoned golfers interested but it is not too overwhelming for beginners. It is a nine hole course that can be played back to back for 18. No major water hazards, but the woods will keep anybody, but a straight driver, searching. One of my favorite features, however is the clubhouse. Yes there is a pro shop and you can get some basic refreshments but what you MUST do after your game is sit in one of the many rocking chairs that bedeck the wrap around porch, marvel at the decades of markings in the old wooden floor from years of spikes trodding on them and enjoy the spectacular view of plum lake!

Balls off line will be lost in the woods in a lot of cases, but there are generous landing areas. Great place. Worst part of the day was the bar wasn't open when we finished at 11:15 so no after golf cocktails lol. Get out and play it.... you won't be sorry.

He went back to the storage area and we rummaged thru the bag we rented. Great kid. Now for the rest of it..the rental driver head was really loose. The prices are too high. Especially for twilight. The woman at the counter was not all that friendly..it just might be her nature. The grass was mediocre. They put styrofoam in the flag holes and if the last guy didnt put them in properly..you might miss out your hole in one. The course manager was quite friendly.

We ate at the club house there for the Friday Fish fry and it was good! Make sure you order the Wyandotte potatoes for your choice of potatoe because they are delicious and they only make them for the fish fry on Fridays. The place itself could use a little updating. The floor is slanted in the dining room, but we sat outside and it was so enjoyable with the sound of the fountain in the background. We liked our fish so much on Friday that we came back on Saturday before the wedding for more. They were very accomodating and made it for us even though they were seving a limited menu because they were hosting a golf tournament that day. Som of the other people in our group got the ruban and said it was very good also! If you are in the area stop in and have lunch or dinner.

Bait and switch - Avoid. We recently booked a tee time for…read moretwo people for nine holes at Trout Lake. We've played the course many times and enjoy it. This was our last trip to Trout Lake. We booked online and confirmed at a price of $50. As you can see in the attached picture, it shows $50 due at course. When we arrived at the course they told us the price went up that very day and they would not honor our confirmed price of $50, but instead would have to pay $90 if we wanted to golf. They understood we booked for $50, but they would not honor it, due to their new "dynamic pricing". The second picture explains that. This isn't about the money. This is about the principle. What if our hotel did that? We book for $100 per night, and when we get there they tell us the price went up and it would be $200? Dynamic pricing sounds a lot like surge pricing for Uber. The major difference, Uber is clear you're paying surge pricing up front. They don't quote you at a $50 ride and when the driver pulls up says, "just kidding, that will be $90". If you want to avoid a bait and switch, avoid Trout Lake Golf Club.

Great golf course. Disappointing customer service…read more We played a round on 07/22/24. Unbeknownst to us, the course is undergoing a massive renovation project and several of the holes were significantly shortened due to the renovation work. No mention of this on their website. Staff only mentioned some renovation work AFTER we had paid. Even though we did not get to experience the entire course (courtesy of several of the holes having temporary tees in the fairway, in each case, about 150 to 200 yards ahead of where the tee boxes normally are), we paid full price. When we called to complain, they told us all tees and greens are accessible (a false statement) and no discount would be offered. Golf courses typically provide advance notice of greens being aerated and usually offer a discount when greens are aerated. Any course (other than Trout Lake, apparently), will most definitely provide its customers with advance notice of massive renovation work and offer a discount. Trout Valley apparently has no problem pulling a bait and switch on its customers - this was an unfortunate experience. Sadly, we will not return. It's a great course, but customer service is an afterthought.
