Update: Took my crew of 15 golfers out to Trout Lake on 9/4 & 9/6. General consensus was that they love the new layout, improved scenic views and friendly staff. Love the new green at #11. Only complaints I heard was that a couple of the new greens were "tricked" up, no halfway house and that we had to start our round on the 10th hole which made our favorite finishing hole (#18) become the 9th hole for our tournament. That being said, we plan on being back in 2026 as the course matures and hopefully my friend group matures with it. Thanks for having us! Jim Sullivan Glenview, IL My son and I played the course on 7/30. Have played here 50 times over 35 years. Really love the new design features and opening up views to the water on multiple holes. The 425 yard par 5 is a bit of a head scratcher but allowed me to birdie so all is forgotten lol. Course is still a work in progress as some greens have dead spots, fairways damaged and the rough is either still growing or has construction sand/gravel in it-hence the 3 star rating. That being said, this course will be awesome in another year or two. I'm coming back 9/4 and 9/6 with 15 other golfers so should be a blast especially with the best finishing hole in the area!

Nice rustic course in the northwoods. Really enjoyed this course and boy was it challenging. Fairways were overall in pretty good shape but many where sloping or had rolloffs that positional play was very crucial. Rough was pretty long and at times hard to get out of. Greens in very good shape and rolled fast and sloping a lot. Many challenging turns in the layout. Mature woods all around this course. Rates for the course were fair for this course. Smallish pro shop and a good local feel rustic looking clubhouse. Great staff. Gotta check out the trout river as it winds around the course.

Nice public course near popular north woods destinations like Boulder Junction and Minocqua. The course is well-kept with a good pace of play. I didn’t have the opportunity to really explore the clubhouse as things were being set up for a wedding after I finished 18, but they seemed to have a healthy selection of golf apparel and accessories.

Great golf course that winds along the water and incorporates the water nicely. They squeeze a lot of yardage out of the area and some holes definitely feel like they play longer. Overall not a super hard course, myself being a 10 handicap shot 79 from the tips.

Went to trout lake when on vacation, wonderful views and course was playing in peak condition. Fairways like carpet, greens rolling smooth. Really enjoyed the layout, and the doglegs provide a lot of interesting holes. Clubhouse was nice and staff were pleasant. I will return next time I am in the area.
