Frequently Asked Questions

When is the best time of year to play Big Fish Golf Course for ideal conditions?

We've played Big Fish in every season, and late spring through early fall is truly prime. You'll find the course in its best shape, with lush fairways and greens, and the surrounding Wisconsin foliage really pops, especially in September. Just be prepared for potential afternoon thunderstorms in summer, which can pop up quickly.

What are the must-play holes or unique challenges at Big Fish that I should look out for?

You absolutely have to experience the 17th, a par-3 over water that lives up to the "Big Fish" name-it's a real beauty and a card-wrecker if you're not precise. Also, the elevation changes on holes like the 6th and 12th demand smart club selection, offering some fantastic downhill drives. Don't let the scenery distract you from the strategic bunkering.

Is Big Fish Golf Course a good value, and what should I expect regarding green fees and amenities?

We consider Big Fish a solid value, especially compared to other courses of its caliber in the region. Green fees are competitive, and you'll find the practice facilities well-maintained and included with your round. They also offer some great twilight rates, which is perfect for a relaxed late-afternoon round without breaking the bank.

How challenging is Big Fish Golf Course for different skill levels, and is it beginner-friendly?

Big Fish offers a fair challenge for all handicaps, with multiple tee boxes that genuinely change the course's character. While it's not overly punishing for beginners from the forward tees, the back tees will test even the most seasoned golfer, especially with those water hazards and strategic carries. We recommend playing a tee box that matches your game to truly enjoy the experience.

What's the post-round experience like at Big Fish, and are there any local tips for after the game?

After your round, you'll want to grab a drink and a bite at the clubhouse grill-their fish fry on Fridays is surprisingly good and a local favorite. We always recommend sticking around to watch golfers tackle the 18th green, which is visible from the patio, and then heading into nearby Hayward for some local craft beer. It's a perfect way to cap off the day.
