Blackwolf Run - River Course
Pete Dye designed one of the best golf courses in America on rich land once known by the Winnebagos and Algonquins for exceptional fishing and hunting. Intimidating to the professional, fair and dramatic for the amateur, this “beauty of the beast” measures 7,404 from the back tees with a slope of 151. Target landing areas, strategic bunkering, large undulating greens, and water or gorges on 14 of the 18 holes characterize the challenge of this championship course. The playing values of the River course are a match for its natural beauty.
In its brief existence, the River course has quickly earned a reputation as being among the country’s very best. Ranking #17 in GolfWeek’s 2015 Best Resort Courses and #16 in Golf Digest’s 2015/2016 America's 100 Greatest Public Golf Courses. And GOLF Magazine says this course "must be considered the nation's finest public-access course of modern times."
