This tight course, located on a hilltop overlooking the Apostle Islands, will more than likely be difficult for average golfers. The terrain features many elevation changes, so expect some uneven lies. Water hazards (four ponds) come into play on three holes. The signature hole is #9, a 383-yard, par 4, featuring water guarding the front and both sides of the green. An additional nine holes were added in 1995.

| Enjoy the beautiful scenery because the greens are UGLY. Played the front 9 on 8/21/04 and left disappointed. $27 bought 9 holes of uncut, unrolled and marshy greens. Because the pins hadn't been moved in quite some time, a 3 foot radius of deep footprint depressions surrounded each cup. Although hitting greens in regulation is relatively easy on this short course, birdies and pars become a challenge as your putts bounce their way toward the cup on the shaggy, soggy putting surface. Just smack your putt in the general direction of the cup and pray the divots and footprints guide your ball into the cup. I don't know if the poor greens are a result of irrigation shortcomings or sloppy maintenance, but they are worse than any muni course you'll find.
Practice playing uneven lies as the majority of tee boxes are not on a level plane.
Fortunately there are other golf options in Bayfield that can't be any worse than Apostle Highlands. |

| If you want to see Lake Superior and several of the Apostle Islands from a unique vantage point, you must play this course. There are at a number of holes where you will want to stop for a minute and soak in the view. The course also has plenty of challenge. There are big changes in elevation, some tight fairways, and several challenging greens. Make sure to bring plenty of golf balls because the rough is dense north woods - it doesn't give back many balls. I'd also recommend riding, unless you're in mountain goat shape. I'd say this is the best course in a 75 mile radius of Bayfield. |
