Description

Set among the pines of northwestern Wisconsin, Turtleback is an upscale public course that feels private. Its modern layout features generous fairways, tiered greens, and just enough water to keep things spicy. The course is as much about experience as it is competition expect great service, pristine conditions, and a quiet, wooded atmosphere. It's a favorite for weddings and group outings, but also delivers a focused, enjoyable round for solo golfers. Turtleback is polished golf with a rustic soul.

Weather data is only available for the next 7 days.

Best hidden gem and sleeper course in all of WI! The layout is soooo good and the course is just all around a blast to play! Won't overpower or overwhelm you at any level. Plenty of risk/reward and very playable for all abilities. Conditions were outstanding considering all the rain and play they've seen.

Only a 3 due to the basically non existent course management. The day I played we flew through 5 holes then did nothing but wait for the rest of the round. Pushing 15 mins a hole makes the round not enjoyable anymore. Never once did we see a ranger we were just told in the clubhouse well it’s busy today so it might be slower; that’s your cue to enforce pace Turtleback. Course it self 5/5 beautiful track and well kept nice job grounds crew for making it great. If you like waiting a lot this is the course to play. If you play a lot think twice on a weekend.

BRAVO to the manager! My parents were visiting from Minnesota and we were looking for a fun day. Turns out a full day of fun can be had at Turtleback. We enjoyed a wonderful round of golf with the course in tip-top shape. Fairways were perfectly groomed and the rough was penal without being ridiculously tough. The greens were receptive to a quality shot and respectfully fast. We thoroughly enjoyed the round. We went into town for supper but nothing peaked our interest as each person has vastly different food tastes, so we returned to Turtleback to enjoy supper at the restaurant - EXQUISITE! The dinner salads were quite large, with fresh mixed greens. Main courses (BBQ ribs, walleye, pasta) were perfectly prepared and nicely plated. We even saved a touch of room for dessert. Afterwards we enjoyed the Thursday Night live music. A magnificent finish to an ideal spring day. Special shout-out to Courtney, she even rounded up some blankets for the ladies that were a little chilly as the evening went on. Staff was so attentive... What a GREAT team, we'll be back!

First time to the Rice Lake area (from MN) and playing Turtleback. What a beautiful course. Well maintained and pace of play was surprisingly perfect given the holiday weekend. We were paired up a with a lovely couple and enjoyed our round. Employees were gracious, friendly and helpful. Wish there were more places to stay on the lake in this area because we'd love to come back to this course again.

Beautiful course, spacious driving range, difficult practice green. Love the course, challenging back nine but fun holes as well. Great bartender, she made a drink that my friend made up on the spot. The practice green had a lot of slope! Large parking lot with plenty of room to park. Probably not a fun course to walk but the front nine you could do it, the back nine would be tough (some distance between a few holes). Recommend!
