COLD WATER CANYON GOLF COURSE

The towering sandstone bluffs and dense woodlands of Wisconsin's Dells region create a dramatic backdrop for this Robert Trent Jones Jr. design that demands both power and precision through its rolling, wooded corridors. Water hazards snake through seven holes, but it's the elevation changes and strategically placed bunkers that separate the weekend warriors from the stick-and-ball artists. The signature par-3 17th plays downhill to a peninsula green surrounded by Cold Water Creek, where club selection becomes as crucial as reading the swirling winds that funnel through the canyon walls.
