| Shoop Park Golf Course -- "If I only lived closer" |
| Review by: Bruce A. Williams |
When I was younger, and my dad was still around..
he told me about one of the oldest courses in Wisconsin; that being, Shoop Park.. Now my dad was Scotch/Irish and loved playing the "Highlands" kind of golf and even though the grass isn't reedlike and there are next to no bunkers or even that big a threat of water here; I found Shoop to be an interesting 9.. It has a number of holes that offer sidehill lies ...It also has 2 holes that give you a nice view of Wind Point and the green at hole #2 is at the very base of the lighthouse...OH, did I mention that the Wind Point lighthouse is ON Lake Michigan?? Anyway..
to make a long story short..I played it; some 25 years after my fathers' passing and found that for what you pay to play here, it's worth a 2nd & 3rd look .. I'd play it alot more often ...If only I lived closer. |

This is one of my favorite local courses. Play is kept moving well. Holes One and Nine are par 5's. Greens are neither super fast or slow, fairways are always nice. A good value in my opinion |
