About this course

Antigo Bass Lake Country Club sits in the Northwoods of Wisconsin near Deerbrook, a region characterized by dense forests, glacial lakes, and rolling terrain typical of the state's northern counties. Designed by Larry Packard, the course reflects the architect's regional practice across the upper Midwest during the latter decades of the twentieth century. Packard, based in Wisconsin, built a portfolio of courses that worked within the natural topography and vegetation of their settings rather than imposing dramatic earthwork, an approach well-suited to the forested lakeland character of this area. The routing takes advantage of the property's wooded corridors and elevation changes, with holes framed by stands of pine, birch, and hardwoods. Water features, including Bass Lake itself, come into play on several holes, adding both strategic interest and visual variety. The layout offers a mix of risk-reward opportunities and straightforward tests of accuracy, typical of courses serving both member play and regional competition in smaller Wisconsin communities. Antigo Bass Lake serves as a traditional country club for the surrounding area, providing a golf experience rooted in the natural beauty of the Northwoods. The club functions as a social and recreational hub for its membership, with the course offering a quiet, forested setting removed from more heavily trafficked resort destinations. The design emphasizes playability across skill levels while maintaining enough challenge to engage experienced golfers familiar with northern Wisconsin's distinctive golf landscape.

Getting there

The journey to Antigo Bass Lake Country Club begins at Central Wisconsin Airport in Wausau, roughly forty-five minutes to the south, though many visitors opt for the larger Rhinelander-Oneida County Airport to the north for more frequent connections. From either gateway, the drive winds through Wisconsin's Northwoods - a landscape of dense pine and hardwood forest punctuated by crystalline lakes and the occasional roadside supper club. As Highway 45 gives way to quieter county roads near Deerbrook, the forest seems to deepen and the pace slows, until the club's entrance emerges along the shores of Bass Lake, a secluded retreat where the rhythms of the North Country take hold.
