Love this beautiful course. It is well kept and the setting cannot be beat! In the heart of the…read moregreat North Woods of Wisconsin, it is challenging enough to keep seasoned golfers interested but it is not too overwhelming for beginners. It is a nine hole course that can be played back to back for 18. No major water hazards, but the woods will keep anybody, but a straight driver, searching. One of my favorite features, however is the clubhouse. Yes there is a pro shop and you can get some basic refreshments but what you MUST do after your game is sit in one of the many rocking chairs that bedeck the wrap around porch, marvel at the decades of markings in the old wooden floor from years of spikes trodding on them and enjoy the spectacular view of plum lake!

great spot. So pretty and fun nine hole course. Club house rustic and right on the lake.read more

Such a fun course in the heart of downtown Minocqua! The young man who served us our shaved ice and…read morechecked us in initially was very nice and polite. We only go shaved ice here before but the course offered shady spots and was clean and had some fun challenges on certain holes. Very well kept. Thank you!

Course was fun and owner was super friendly! I've never seen so many shaved ice options too!read more

Bait and switch - Avoid. We recently booked a tee time for…read moretwo people for nine holes at Trout Lake. We've played the course many times and enjoy it. This was our last trip to Trout Lake. We booked online and confirmed at a price of $50. As you can see in the attached picture, it shows $50 due at course. When we arrived at the course they told us the price went up that very day and they would not honor our confirmed price of $50, but instead would have to pay $90 if we wanted to golf. They understood we booked for $50, but they would not honor it, due to their new "dynamic pricing". The second picture explains that. This isn't about the money. This is about the principle. What if our hotel did that? We book for $100 per night, and when we get there they tell us the price went up and it would be $200? Dynamic pricing sounds a lot like surge pricing for Uber. The major difference, Uber is clear you're paying surge pricing up front. They don't quote you at a $50 ride and when the driver pulls up says, "just kidding, that will be $90". If you want to avoid a bait and switch, avoid Trout Lake Golf Club.

Great golf course. Disappointing customer service…read more We played a round on 07/22/24. Unbeknownst to us, the course is undergoing a massive renovation project and several of the holes were significantly shortened due to the renovation work. No mention of this on their website. Staff only mentioned some renovation work AFTER we had paid. Even though we did not get to experience the entire course (courtesy of several of the holes having temporary tees in the fairway, in each case, about 150 to 200 yards ahead of where the tee boxes normally are), we paid full price. When we called to complain, they told us all tees and greens are accessible (a false statement) and no discount would be offered. Golf courses typically provide advance notice of greens being aerated and usually offer a discount when greens are aerated. Any course (other than Trout Lake, apparently), will most definitely provide its customers with advance notice of massive renovation work and offer a discount. Trout Valley apparently has no problem pulling a bait and switch on its customers - this was an unfortunate experience. Sadly, we will not return. It's a great course, but customer service is an afterthought.

If I could leave a 0 star I would. We came here at 5:15 PM on a Saturday. They were having a…read moreprivate party so we were told we couldn't have pizza because that's what the private party was having. Well I'm sorry then you should have closed the whole restaurant down for this private party. Who only has 2 wine options ? The Chips & salsa and fish tacos were good. I ordered a margarita and the waiter never asked blended or on the rocks which is a normal thing to ask but instead I just got a blended margarita. I should have just stuck with water. Again, if you're going to have a huge party where the wait staff is tending to the party and lacking service to other customers, you should just close.

We went for pizza & burgers and both were very good. We got there at 7:00 on a Friday night & were…read moresurprised to get right in. Very warm and cozy atmosphere.
