If you’re looking for a low-key, scenic 9-hole course that won’t drain your wallet, Shoop Park Golf Course is worth a swing. Nestled right along Lake Michigan’s shore in Wind Point / Racine, the course treats you to some genuine lake views and even glimpses of the Wind Point Lighthouse. What works well: • The setting is a highlight. Some holes wrap close to the lake; the breeze off the water adds character (and challenge). • It’s affordable, especially for walking play. For a modest investment you can enjoy a full round with charm. • The course forces you to use variety: with shorter yardages and small greens, precision can pay off more than power. • The elevation changes—such as a tee box 50 feet above the green on one par-3—add a fun twist. What you should know (trade-offs): • The fairways are not irrigated, so during dry stretches they get firm and can play like a traditional “Scottish style” course. • Greens are mostly flat; they aren’t dramatically contoured, so if you’re looking for tricky, breaking putts, you might be disappointed. • Course condition is decent, but some areas show wear. It’s not a pristine resort layout—but for what it is, it holds up nicely. • Because it’s small and public, you won’t find a full driving range or lots of bells and whistles. Overall thoughts: This is a solid, charming 9-hole gem. If you enjoy relaxed rounds, don’t mind a course with character (and quirky challenges), and want to soak in lake ambiance, Shoop Park delivers. It won’t wow you like a championship course, but for its price and setting, it’s a satisfying and memorable play.

This is super little 9 hole course on Lake Michigan and has all kinds of different holes. It’s 5 stars on views, layout and greens. The fairways need work. For $13 to walk is a steal. Much better than Washington Park GC in Racine.

Amazing views and friendly staff as well as customers. If you're looking to learn or sharpen parts of your game, this is a very welcoming course to do either. No one is in a rush and a great place to slow down and enjoy the game!

Great little course, very well maintained for a municipal course.

The best small golf course in SE Wisconsin. Nestled on the shores of Lake Michigan alongside a picturesque lighthouse. The holes have exactly the right amount of challenge. Great for golfers of all skill levels but ideal for those wanting the beautiful scenery.
