Frequently Asked Questions

When is the best time to plan a golf trip to Vilas County?

You'll find Vilas County truly shines for golf from late May through early October. We personally love late September for the stunning fall foliage, which adds an incredible backdrop to your rounds and makes for cooler, crisp playing conditions. Just be aware that some amenities might start winding down after Columbus Day.

What kind of golf courses can I expect to play in Vilas County?

Don't come expecting links golf; Vilas County offers classic Northwoods parkland layouts, often carved through dense forests with elevation changes and water features from the many lakes. We've found the courses here prioritize playability and natural beauty over extreme difficulty, making for a very enjoyable, relaxed round.

What is there to do in Vilas County besides golf?

Vilas County is a true outdoor playground, so you'll have plenty to do off the course. We always recommend taking advantage of the countless lakes for fishing or kayaking, or exploring the extensive hiking and biking trails that wind through the beautiful forests. It's the perfect spot if your group enjoys more than just 18 holes a day.

Is Vilas County a good value golf destination compared to other regions?

Absolutely, Vilas County offers fantastic value for the quality of golf and overall experience. You won't find the premium pricing of some destination resorts, but you'll still play well-maintained courses with friendly service. We consistently find green fees here to be very reasonable, allowing you to play more rounds without breaking the bank.

How easy is it to get around and access the courses in Vilas County?

Getting around Vilas County is quite straightforward, usually requiring a car to navigate between towns and courses. The courses are generally well-signed and accessible from the main roads, but don't expect a walkable golf village vibe. We recommend basing yourself near a central town like Eagle River or Minocqua for easy access to multiple tracks and dining options.
