SENTRY WORLD GOLF COURSE
🇺🇸 Stevens Point, WI, USA
Designed by Robert Trent Jones, Jr.
Sentry World, a Wisconsin jewel, stands as a testament to the vision of a company committed to its community, having transformed a humble farm field into a sprawling oasis of championship golf. Carved into the rolling landscape of Stevens Point, this parkland-style course, originally designed by Robert Trent Jones Jr., presents a deceptively gentle challenge. Wide fairways invite aggression off the tee, but subtle undulations and strategically placed water hazards demand a thoughtful approach on the second shot. The course favors a player who can shape the ball, with several doglegs and greenside bunkers punishing errant approaches.
The course underwent a significant renovation in 2023 led by Jay Blasi, ahead of the US Senior Open which was subsequently hosted there in the same year. This refresh brought a modern sensibility to Jones' original design, sharpening its teeth for today's players and enhancing the visual appeal of this Midwestern gem.
While not steeped in centuries of tradition, Sentry World holds a unique place in the region's golf landscape. More than just a corporate retreat, the course acts as a vibrant hub for the Stevens Point community and beyond, offering a welcoming atmosphere alongside a stern golfing test. Post-round, the "PJ's" old-fashioned is a well-known favorite with both members and guests, a testament to Wisconsin's convivial spirit.
Reviews
Such a great classic layout. Has held several high end events. Course conditions are as good as it gets. The new all inclusive rate and spaced out tee times elevate the experience
A masterclass in course conditioning. The grounds crew at Sentry deserve flowers for what they pull off. The course is good and routing is okay but the real shine is in the course condition and service put on here.
+Conditioning +Comfort stations and landscaping +20 minute tee times -Practice amenities felt a tier or two below everything else here Played it shortly after the Senior Open and conditions were off the charts perfect. Might not be representative of a typical round, but still a fun place where they do things their own way.
