Sentry World Golf Course


About this course
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.

Getting there
Most visitors to Sentry World Golf Course arrive through Central Wisconsin Airport in Mosinee, a compact regional hub roughly twenty-five minutes north, though Milwaukee's Mitchell International and Minneapolis-St. Paul offer broader connections for those willing to make the two-to-three-hour drive across the state's rolling farmland and forests. The final miles into Stevens Point trace the Wisconsin River valley, where the urban grid gives way to an unexpectedly lush corridor of manicured parkland. Sentry World announces itself not with gates or grand lodges, but with the sudden, striking emergence of Robert Trent Jones Jr.'s emerald fairways and the iconic Flower Hole - a vivid, 30,000-blossom amphitheater that signals you've arrived at one of the Midwest's most singular daily-fee experiences.
