About this course

Highland Ridge Golf Club sits in De Pere, a small city in Brown County, Wisconsin, just south of Green Bay. The course was designed by R. A. Becker, a regional architect who worked primarily in Wisconsin and the Upper Midwest during the mid-to-late twentieth century. Becker's designs typically emphasize playability for a range of skill levels while working within the natural contours of the land, and Highland Ridge follows this approach with a layout that incorporates the rolling terrain characteristic of northeastern Wisconsin. The property features elevation changes and wooded corridors that define many holes, creating a parkland character common to courses in this part of the state. The routing takes advantage of the ridgeline topography, with several holes playing uphill or downhill and offering views across the surrounding landscape. Tree-lined fairways and strategically placed bunkers provide the primary defenses, while greens vary in size and contour to test approach play and short game skills. Highland Ridge serves as a daily-fee facility, accessible to both local golfers and visitors to the Green Bay area. The course reflects the straightforward, unpretentious style typical of many Wisconsin public courses from its era—focused on providing an honest test of golf without excessive length or artificial difficulty. It remains a fixture in the De Pere community, offering a traditional round in a setting shaped by the region's glacial geography.

Getting there

The journey to Highland Ridge Golf Club begins at Austin Straubel International Airport in nearby Green Bay (GRB), a straightforward thirty-minute drive south through the rolling farmland and small-town corridors of northeastern Wisconsin. From Green Bay's terminal, the route descends into the Fox River Valley, where the landscape softens into the gentle topography that defines this corner of the state - a transition marked by the shift from highway commerce to quieter country roads lined with hardwoods and the occasional glimpse of water. The final approach to De Pere carries you through a landscape of understated Midwestern charm, where the club emerges as a refined sanctuary set apart from the surrounding community, its manicured grounds and clubhouse architecture a deliberate counterpoint to the rustic character of the surrounding countryside. For those arriving by private aircraft, the Green Bay-Austin Straubel facility accommodates general aviation, though the club's proximity to the commercial terminal makes the entire arrival process notably efficient and discreet.
