By the Season
When to Golf in Wisconsin
The golf season in Wisconsin starts as early as April or May, depending on course conditions. Expect the fairways to be on the damp side, and the temperatures to be cooler. Layer up with an outer wind shell, gloves and a warm hat.
Lush fairways and the greenest greens mark the arrival of summer golf in Wisconsin. From June to August, the temperatures are warm with a side of lake breeze. SPF, sunglasses and a hat or visor are musts! It’s probably a good idea to grab a cold water at the turn, too. Expect the rough to be thick and the putts to roll fast.
Golf in the autumn months is truly memorable in Wisconsin. Crisp air, dew-covered fairways and cooler temps bring relief from the summer heat, and the clear skies and fall colors make the course a magical place. Break out your golf pants and a vest to keep cozy this time of year.
While courses close for regular play during Wisconsin’s colder months, The full-swing fun doesn’t freeze when winter rolls around—think indoor ranges, heated driving ranges and simulators. Plus, golf resorts across the state, like Kohler and Sand Valley, offer post-play amenities like spas, wellness classes, pop-up events and dining year-round.
