About this course
Pine Meadow Golf Club sits in Eau Claire, a city in west-central Wisconsin along the Chippewa River. The course was designed by Glen Bartlett, a regional architect whose work appears primarily across the upper Midwest. Bartlett's designs from this era typically emphasize playability for a range of skill levels while working within the natural contours and vegetation of their sites. The layout at Pine Meadow reflects its name, incorporating stands of pine and open meadow areas characteristic of the Chippewa Valley landscape. The routing likely takes advantage of the gentle to moderate terrain common to this part of Wisconsin, where glacial influence created rolling topography interspersed with wetlands and wooded corridors. Courses in this region often feature tree-lined fairways, strategic bunkering, and greens that reward accurate approach play. Pine Meadow serves as a community course for Eau Claire and the surrounding area, providing a traditional golf experience in a region where the sport has deep recreational roots. The club operates within the seasonal constraints of northern Wisconsin, where the golf calendar typically runs from late spring through mid-autumn. The facility reflects the character of many Midwestern golf clubs established to serve local membership and daily-fee play, balancing course conditioning with accessibility for area golfers.

Getting there
Pine Meadow Golf Club sits in the rolling terrain of west-central Wisconsin, most readily accessed via Eau Claire Regional Airport (EAU), a compact hub roughly 15 minutes from the clubhouse, or through the larger commercial gateway of Minneapolis-Saint Paul International (MSP), positioned about two hours south via I-94 and US-53. The drive north from the Twin Cities carries you through the transition zone where the Great Lakes influence begins to soften the prairie landscape, with the final stretch unwinding through the gentle, wooded hills that define the Chippewa Valley. For those arriving by private aircraft, Eau Claire Regional accommodates general aviation with straightforward efficiency, allowing a swift passage from tarmac to fairway. The approach to Pine Meadow itself traces quiet country roads that slip between stands of mature hardwood and open meadow, a fitting prelude to a course that honors the natural contours of its Wisconsin setting.
