Butternut Hills Golf is an excellent course in northern Wisconsin. Any level of golfer can be…read morechallenged by the course. Some sand, some water and some narrow fairways - but a fair course if you can hit your ball reasonably straight. Greens on some holes are tricky - but all but a couple are in great shape. I like to walk - but it is tough on this course because of the distance between some of the greens to the next tee box. So, unless you have time for a 5 hour round - probably best to take a cart. The green fees are a little pricey - but I normally only play this course on the weekends- so I assume they jack up the prices on the weekends to take advantage of the cabin owners. However, I enjoy the course enough to pay a little extra.

There were 6 people playing together, ahead of us, which, of course, made it a very slow round for…read moreus. Additionally, another about three or four ahead of us had five in their group.

I have played Hayward Golf course for the over 20 years. I find the course to be well designed,…read morewell managed, and well cared for. I usually play in a little more than four hours and the course is easy to walk if that is your choice. The people who play the course are friendly and welcoming and the pro shop personnel do an excellent job. I think it is the best golf in Northwestern Wisconsin.

Really nice activity center. We went there with my kids this weekend. The pool was very nice and…read morewell lit. The sauna was very nice and had that fresh wood smell. They have very nice basketball gym with a running track above it. They also have a great workout area with weights and cardio machines. My only issue was we went Saturday morning to ask when they were open and I was told that the pool was open until 8 pm. That it specifically closed a half hour before the building. We showed up at 6 pm and the person at the front said the pool was closed and picked up the little paper notification paper to show me. Cool but the earlier person should have said that and let me know. Instead I drove and got 4 little kids ready and then had to deal with dissapointed kids. The next day was super nice but no one really seemed to care what happened the day before. My suggestion to the owner is maybe work on the management process of the facility. It is super nice and you own a lot of other well run property in town. This should be the shining gem of Minong. I will be back and hope to have better communication on open times when I do.

After telling my son and a friend about a canoe trip I took as a teenager down the Namekagon and…read moreSt. Croix rivers 30 years ago, they both said they really wanted to do something similar. After reaching out to multiple outfitters in the region, I choose Jack's and I'm glad I did. I didn't want to transport my 17 foot Grumman aluminum to upper Wisconsin and take it through the rapids. We were also going to need to rent a second boat anyways and needed a shuttle. I started looking into local outfitters. They were quick to respond to my inquiries and answer my questions. They also were willing to not only rent us a canoe and a kayak and provide shuttle service, but they answered my questions about what I'd need to do for a multiple night trip down the river. We camped at their site for the first night and put in right there so we could paddle down the river, across Trego Lake, portage the dam, then continue down the Namekagon and St. Croix Rivers over the next couple of days. The equipment they rented us was in good condition. We had no issues with the paddles, PFDs, or boats. The shuttle van was clean and well maintained. When we looked at the camps all of them where in nice, clean conditions. The port-a-poties were clean. They have a store on site to purchase any items you may need to go down the river. The staff was friendly and nice. It wasn't busy when we arrived and was able to chat with some of them. It's a family own and operated business. We had scheduled a 3pm ride back to our vehicles on our last day but due to our underestimating how fast our trip was, we got there around noon. I called Jack's and inquired if there was any way they could pick us up early. Knowing they're busy I highly doubted it. Their response was they didn't have any drivers available right then, but if one becomes available early they would send them our way. We really didn't expect anyone to get there until 3pm. However, around 2pm the shuttle arrived. If we had to wait until the scheduled pick up time that would be understandable, but because they had the availability and could come early, that was pretty awesome in my book. If you're looking for an outfitter to go down the river either via canoe, kayak, or tube... I can't recommend enough Jack's.

If you are looking for a good time, this is not the place for you. While this campground was…read moreseemingly well kept and nice looking, that is about all it had going for it. The staff are all extremely rude and have zero customer service. Im not sure if it was a caretaker or just an employee, but he stayed in a tent on the camp ground and act as camp police ensuring that there was no fun to be had... this means, no music, talking/laughing "loud" ... and this was all before their weekend quiet hours of 10:30. Honestly it was ridiculous. Also their tubing rental is a joke. Dont waste your time or money on their lacking operation. Do yourself a favor and go down to Jacks Tubing or Log Cabin... you will have a WAY better time.

My husband and I came for the 830pm, Wednesday night, show in Hayward. I am not sure what I was…read moreexpecting but the experience was lackluster at best. Unfortunately. When driving by this location there is a HUGE grandstand and the makings of "quite a show". After we purchased tickets and walked in we realized the quaint seating are for the show we were about to see. Apparently the grandstand is for the NATIONAL competition that happened a week ago. The flier advertises professional lumberjacks. Um, 'scuse me but the three "pros" are still in high school or so they appear! In fact it felt like high school rivalry when they broke up the crowd into three groups: Hayward, Seeley, and Cable.The show is SO scripted. Felt like I was reading the script with all the directing commentary next to it such as "cock head towards right and roll eyes" or "swat at fly in front of face here". The MC, Lord help him, has a big personality but he's done this show at least 5,000 times and it shows but it's not fluid. The music used is choppy and the whole show is awkward. The pole climb was the best but why in earth put a newbie against a "pro"? Why has us watch a log roll on a log we cannot even see because it's so dark? Why aren't there more lights for night shows? And why is the parking lot as dark as a cave when there are people walking everywhere after the show? There isn't much to do in Hayward at night so this isn't the worst event to attend. Go if you have kids. That's what it is geared towards.
