The best golf courses in Salem, Wisconsin

“Seth Raynor did his magic laying out this course while not placing a single hole on Lake Michigan. Holes 10-15 is one of the best stretches of holes you’ll find anywhere and the greens are lightning with much undulation. Any day at Shoreacres is a magical day.”

“Conway Farms definitely gives off that big time feel the second you pull up to bag drop. The staff was awesome — super friendly and welcoming right from the start.”

“It's open off the tee, but the green complexes are challenging and provide a defense for the course. Conditioning is always fantastic and the greens are generally the star of the show. Different winds provide different challenges. Back is harder than the front, especially the par 3s.”

“The Palmer Course at Destination Geneva National was one of the highlights of my bachelor trip — and honestly, one of the best overall golf experiences I’ve had in the Midwest.”

“The 2nd hole is where the round really kicks into gear — a par 5 with a split fairway that gives you options off the tee. You can take on a longer carry down the right for a better angle in, but it brings the marsh more into play. A pot bunker guards the front of the green…”

“The Gary Player Course at Destination Geneva National was my second favorite on the property, and it delivered another awesome experience.”

“The front 9 plays as a more traditional 1900s era parkland style course. Some great holes like the #2 reverse redan like par 3. The #5 par 5 can play ~600+ yards when the wind is howling. Really cool Biarritz style green on #8.”

“Great conditions with a truly unique and exciting layout. No range but new putting green is right next to beautiful patio that overlooks the course with easy sight lines to the ninth and 18th greens.”

“Definition of a hidden gem. Langford & Moreau design that just needs a little love and small renovation and they could charge triple. No sand in the bunkers, but it doesn’t make them any less challenging. Must-play for a Golden Age nerd.”

“Great conditions and some cool holes. However, thought some of the holes were very basic as well. I’m from Illinois but if I come in to the area, I’d rather play Hawks View for a similar price. Some may disagree with that but I think it’s the better layout”

“If this course was 700 yards longer, it might be one of the best courses in the state. Big fan of the grass bunker edges. Very aesthetically pleasing.”

“The Trevino Course at Destination Geneva National rounds out the trio on property, and while it’s nice to have a third option to mix things up, it was definitely my least favorite of the three.”

“More fun and thoughtful than the Brute, if less scenic. Also were doing work on the first few holes which definitely affected the condition of the course. But a fun, strategic golf course that you can hit a lot of different shots on.”

“A really hard, sloping golf course with tons of hazards, comically large bunkers, and tight landing areas. Some really cool holes and a few repetitive ones. Great as part of a package, probably not a good value at their standard rate.”

“The greens on 13&17 are finally being re-done, but there is only one spot you can put the pin on both holes. Too many blind approaches to severe greens...examples are 3,5,15&17. Conditioning has gotten better, but still lacks a little for a private club.”
