Hayward Golf & Tennis Club

Hayward, WI · 5.1 mi away

Big Fish Golf Club is a public course in Hayward, Wisconsin, built on a former farm field and adjoining forest in the state's north woods. It was designed by Pete Dye with project architect Tim Liddy and opened in 2004, making it the architect's closest design to the Twin Cities market. The front nine plays over open, links-like pasture ground while the back nine moves into a wooded, dune-like environment, giving the round two distinct characters. Dye's signature touches, including mounding, railroad-tie details and strategic bunkering, appear throughout. Big Fish is owned by the Lac Courte Oreilles Band of Lake Superior Chippewa, who purchased the course in 2019, and it operates as a daily-fee facility open to the public with a walking option. The remote Hayward Lakes setting makes it a destination round for golfers visiting the area for fishing and other outdoor recreation.

Spooner, WI · 21 mi away

Spooner Golf Club sits in the forests and lake country of northwest Wisconsin, a few minutes from the town of Spooner. The course occupies rolling, tree-lined terrain typical of the region, with mature hardwoods and pines framing most holes. The layout was designed by Tom Vardon and plays as a classic parkland-style course, with tree-lined fairways and rolling hills that reward accurate positioning off the tee rather than raw length. Greens are set among the trees, giving the course an intimate, wooded feel. Spooner Golf Club is open to the public year round for tee times, with an on-site pro shop and a bar and restaurant. It measures 6,458 yards from the back tees at par 72 over 18 holes.

Cable, WI · 21 mi away

Forest Ridges Golf Course is the golf facility of Lakewoods Resort near Cable, Wisconsin, set in the glacial terrain and pine forests of the state's Northwoods, near Lake Namakagon. The 18-hole course was designed by Joel Goldstrand and opened in the 1990s, with tree-lined fairways, wetland crossings, and holes that play around ponds carved from the glacial landscape. The course functions as a resort facility, open to guests staying at Lakewoods as well as outside players, with stay-and-play lodging packages available in golf villas overlooking the fairways. Practice facilities include a teaching area, driving range, and putting green. Back tees measure roughly 6,000 to 6,060 yards depending on the source, with four tee options for different skill levels.
