Minocqua Country Club

Overview: Minocqua Country Club is a private Northwoods course in Minocqua, Wisconsin. Ron Garl’s routing uses pine forest, rolling ground and the shoreline setting around Lake Minocqua to create a parkland course with a strong regional identity. Tree-lined corridors and sand hazards frame the holes, while the lake changes the feel of several transitions and views.

History: Shareholders approved the expansion to an 18-hole course in 1998 and hired Ron Garl to lead the design. The current course is associated with the early-2000s expansion, while the club’s longer history includes local golf and lake recreation in the Northwoods.

Did You Know? Lake Minocqua is part of the course’s visual structure rather than a distant backdrop. The routing runs alongside the water and gives several holes direct lakeside views, a feature that distinguishes the course from an inland forest-only layout.
