Must Play UP Casino Course

Course is part of the Bay Mills Casino and they take care of it. Course has large greens, large elevation changes and some great views of Whitefish Bay.

One of my favorite UP courses.

Home Course

Have been a season pass holder at Wild Bluff for 6 seasons now
The weather this past summer was exceptional and “our group” played a lot
The course is always in great shape and it is a tough but fair test with quick and tricky greens
The practice facility includes a chipping area putting green and a large driving range all stocked with balls
The pro shop is well stocked with clothing and equipment for both men and women
The upper lounge area is always clean and provides great food and beverages
Sit outside on the upper deck and watch players coming in on 18
Last but not least, the entire staff do a great job and they have made us feel welcome from the outset
Definitely a course to play if you are in the area

great course , but?

The course was in great condition, but the greens were just airified with no top dressing. Fairways also punched. I know it has to be done some time either spring or fall so im not complaining. Super nice challenging course.
