Built just up the road from Lake Delton in the Wisconsin Dells and opened in 2008, Wild Rock Golf Course features many aspects that cannot be found at most courses throughout the state. Although Wild Rock is on the Wilderness Resort property and is a short drive from many other Resorts, this course is not what you would expect. The tips play at almost 7,500 yards with very wide fairways for the first 3/4 of the round. Wild Rock is one of the most playable for all skill levels due to 5 tee boxes, large inviting greens, and deceivingly small bunkers that may catch a ball or two during your round. The first four holes and last two are on one piece of the property, and the other 12 are across a road. You take a tunnel under the road to continue your round, which was pretty cool. With subtle uphill holes like #5 and #10, you need to be precise and factor in the slope with your approach shot. Hole #6 features the best view on the property and views for over 30 miles, shown in the cover photo above. Once you reach the 10th green, you also are at a high point and can see the rolling hills in the distance. There were many great holes in the middle of the course which keeps golfers on their toes. The tips are just as long as you would expect at almost 7,500 yards, and you can feel that on almost every tee shot between the long par 3’s and 4’s as well as the intermediate par 5’s.Wild Rock has many features such as a few table top greens, punchbowl pins, large rock quarries, forced carries over water, and many more. It was a treat to play Wild Rock during peak color in the fall, and I can’t wait to go back very soon.
