| Pine Valley Golf Course -- Two stars is so much better than one |
| Review by: Jesse Maas |
I've played most of the courses in the Wausau area and, as a poor college student golfer, I'll say this is the best golf you'll get for your buck. Equally as inexpensive as the other courses in the area, but you won't find your drives and approaches in the natural hazards created by the lack of attention that so many other low-budget courses get. They have different colored flags and different tee boxes not just for show but because they've actually got big enough greens and long enough holes that one can play the course differently accordingly. A nice, long, wide open back nine with a 575-ard par five and the par 3 "signature hole". Challenging par 4's throughout the 18 that will put your decision-making and club-chosing to the test. It's one of those courses that will make you play it a few times to achieve the score that you're truly capable of. My three complaints: it gets pretty sloppy during the wet parts of the year, the front is a par 35 -which I don't like-, and the student-rate membership fee is near $700, significantly higher than its competition (although that would only apply were you a student and wanted a membership). A solid course overall, two stars over one any day of the week, any time of the year. |

| Wanaki Golf Course -- Bring your "A" game |
| Review by: Bruce A.Williams |
Wanaki was quite a surprising experience for me..It's relatively flat but has plenty of trouble around the supremely maintained greens..
Water abounds; although not always evident and you'll find yourself doing alot of shot shaping..The trees are in full fall fashion as I first played the course just after Oct 1st but I will make it a point to keep Wanaki high on my list of superior places to play |
