Golf courses in Hayward, WI.

Hayward, WI

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.

Hayward, WI

Hayward Golf Course sits in the resort town of Hayward, Wisconsin, in the state's Northwoods lake country. The 18-hole, par-72 course has operated for more than a century, established in 1924, and is run by the nonprofit Hayward Civic Club rather than a private ownership group. The layout is described as forgiving for average players while still testing better golfers, set among groomed fairways, ornamental grasses, and Northwoods scenery. Facilities include a full-service bar and grill, a complete pro shop with club and cart rental, a practice green, and a driving range. The course is open to the public and hosts club tournaments such as the Joe Kuta Senior event.
