HICKORY HILLS GOLF COURSE

The rolling dairy farmland of west-central Wisconsin provides an ideal canvas for this well-maintained public track, where mature oaks and hickories frame generous fairways that reward position over power. Strategic bunkering around elevated greens demands precise approach shots, particularly on the memorable par-3 16th that plays downhill to a green guarded by water on three sides. At $45 for weekend rounds, it's the kind of honest, no-frills golf that reminds you why the game was meant to be accessible to everyone.
