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.

Today we visited Spider Lake Ranch for the first time and had the best time we have ever had! Their property is immaculate, the staff was very friendly and helpful and the horses were healthy, happy and very well trained. The ranch we used to go to had very narrow trails full of branches and prickly vines, the trails were sometimes very steep and rocky, and it was stressful and dangerous. Here the trails are super wide, well groomed and flat. They were very safe and easy to ride on. Most of the ride is in the shady woods, so if you're worried about the heat and sun it wasn't a concern at all. The bugs and horse flies were also not a problem. They actually sprayed the horses before we left! I have never seen horses that were so well behaved and easy to ride. We even had two young boys in our group who have only ridden once before and they did great. We cannot recommend this ranch enough. The owners and staff were so nice and their horses and property were impeccably maintained. We had a really great time. Be sure to trip them generously because we also felt like this was a great value for the money. The ride was more scenic and longer in duration than we expected. We will be back again next summer!

My granddaughter was so freaked out after that, she was crying and very upset she did not want to be on the horse at that point so we decided we were not go on the ride. Seeing that happen was very traumatic for her as well as us too not to mention it would not have been enjoyable for her anymore. The owner refused to give us our money back! I understand they have a policy which we signed but I'm sure its not everyday someone gets bucked off their horse! They are not even worthy of 1 star because of how insensitive the owner was in this situation.

The back nine fairways are like the greens! Maintenance is definitely keeping up the grounds.read more

Birch Trail is situated in northern Wisconsin on a small lake called Pokegama. It boasts large…read moregrounds with activities ranging from canoeing to rock climbing to archery and everything in between. It is a one of a kind place. I started going to camp there when I was 11 and I loved every second of my 5 years as a camper. Gabe, Erin, and Barbara really know how to make every girl feel good about themselves and provide a place where girls can make friendships that really do last a lifetime. After being a camper, I chose to go back as a counselor as well and that was yet another great experience. Their staff training did not only teach me important counseling skills, it taught me life skills that I have continued to use as an adult. The staff are well prepared to take care of the girls that spend their summer there every year. BT changed my life and I could not be more grateful for such a wonderful, unique, and special place. I made friends there when I was a camper that are still my best friends today. It is an experience that every girl should have a chance to have.

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.
