About this course

Spring Valley Golf Course is located in Union Center, a small community in Juneau County in central Wisconsin. The course was designed by Roy Albert Anderson, a regional architect who worked primarily in the upper Midwest during the mid-twentieth century. Anderson's designs typically emphasized playability for everyday golfers while working within the natural terrain and modest construction budgets common to rural Wisconsin courses of that era. The course occupies rolling farmland characteristic of central Wisconsin's glacial topography, with gentle elevation changes and stands of mature hardwoods framing many holes. The routing likely takes advantage of natural drainage patterns and existing tree lines, creating definition without extensive earthmoving. Spring Valley serves as a community course for the surrounding agricultural region, providing accessible golf in an area where public facilities are spaced widely apart. As with many small-town Wisconsin courses from this period, Spring Valley reflects a straightforward design philosophy focused on maintaining reasonable length and challenge for local players while keeping maintenance manageable. The course fits into the tradition of rural Midwestern golf, where clubs function as social centers for their communities and golf serves recreational rather than competitive purposes. The setting offers the quiet, pastoral character typical of Wisconsin's central sand counties, with open fairways and modest greens that suit the region's climate and growing conditions.

Getting there

The journey to Spring Valley Golf Course begins at either La Crosse Regional Airport, roughly forty-five minutes to the southwest, or Dane County Regional in Madison, about ninety minutes southeast, with the former offering the most direct approach to Wisconsin's Driftless Area. The drive north from La Crosse traces the Kickapoo River valley before climbing into the unglaciated hill country that defines this corner of the state, where narrow ridges and deep hollows replace the flat dairy land of the surrounding plains. As Highway 27 winds through Hillsboro and into Juneau County, the landscape grows quieter and more forested, until a final turn onto rural roads delivers you to Spring Valley's secluded setting - a reminder that some of the Midwest's most compelling golf lies well beyond the reach of interstate corridors.
