BIG FOOT COUNTRY CLUB
🇺🇸 Fontana, WI, USA
Designed by Tom Bendelow


Big Foot Country Club, nestled in the rolling Wisconsin countryside near Fontana-On-Geneva Lake, whispers of a bygone era when leisurely pursuits and community spirit reigned supreme. Built in the roaring 20s, it stands as a testament to classic parkland design, its tree-lined fairways and subtly contoured greens demanding strategic shot-making rather than brute force. The course plays longer than it measures and favors a strategic approach, where accurate iron play and a deft touch around the greens are paramount.
The original design is attributed to Raynor and Banks, disciples of C.B. Macdonald, who masterfully shaped the natural landscape to create a challenging yet fair test of golf. While not having hosted any major professional championships, Big Foot maintains a place of respect in Wisconsin amateur golf circles.
Beyond the course, Big Foot's enduring appeal lies in its strong sense of community. The club's membership is woven from local families and seasonal residents alike, all drawn to the club's relaxed atmosphere and commitment to traditional values. And while the golf is paramount, it's the camaraderie of the 19th hole, where stories are shared and friendships cemented, that truly defines the Big Foot experience. As the sun dips below the Wisconsin horizon, the echoes of laughter and the clinking of glasses serve as a reminder that at Big Foot, the game is just the beginning.
