Frequently Asked Questions

When's the best time to play Fon Du Lac without feeling rushed?

We always recommend hitting Fon Du Lac early on a weekday morning, especially in late spring or early fall. The course gets busy, so you'll enjoy a much better pace of play and pristine conditions before the crowds arrive.

What kind of golfer will truly enjoy Fon Du Lac?

Fon Du Lac is a fantastic track for the mid-handicapper looking for a fair challenge, but it's also forgiving enough for higher handicappers to have a good time. You'll find a nice mix of open holes and some tighter, tree-lined shots that demand a bit more precision.

What's the signature hole or a must-see feature at Fon Du Lac?

You absolutely have to experience the par-3 14th - it's a beauty. With a tricky bunker guarding the front and a subtle slope that can send your ball off the green, it's a true test of your short iron game and a real postcard moment.

How are the course conditions at Fon Du Lac, especially the greens?

For a public course, Fon Du Lac consistently delivers well-maintained fairways and surprisingly true-rolling greens. While the rough can get a bit shaggy in mid-summer, the putting surfaces are usually in excellent shape, offering a fair challenge.

Are there any local tips or strategic insights for playing Fon Du Lac?

Pay close attention to the prevailing westerly wind on the back nine, especially around holes 12 through 15 - it can really impact your club selection. Also, don't be afraid to play for the middle of the greens; many have subtle undulations that can send an aggressive pin-seeker astray.
