Trout Lake Golf & Country Club

About Trout Lake Golf & Country Club

Tucked away in Wisconsin's Northwoods, this public track offers the kind of authentic northern golf experience that's becoming increasingly rare. The layout winds through dense stands of pine and hardwoods around the namesake Trout Lake, creating a setting that feels more like a private retreat than a municipal course. What strikes you immediately is how the routing takes advantage of the natural terrain, elevation changes are subtle but meaningful, and several holes play directly along the water with genuine risk-reward scenarios that reward bold shot-making. The course punches well above its weight class for a small-town public facility, maintaining conditioning that rivals tracks charging twice the green fee. Local golfers have kept this gem relatively under the radar, but the 4.3 Google rating from over 100 reviews suggests word is getting out. Walking is encouraged here, which tells you everything about the thoughtful distances between greens and tees, and frankly, riding would rob you of the full Northwoods immersion that makes this place special.
