If you haven’t yet tested your game against today’s feature course, Cumberland Golf Club in Barron County, you’re in for a real treat. Beautifully designed and pristinely manicured throughout the season, Cumberland offers players of all skill and experience levels the opportunity to play an awesome 18 in an outstanding setting.

Lesson number one on Cumberland: don’t be fooled by the scorecard – distance doesn’t always equal difficulty. The front nine here plays significantly longer than the back, but is definitely the more forgiving of the two nines. On the flip side, the back nine is heavily entrenched in the area’s natural wooded landscape, meaning tighter fairways all around, and an increased emphasis on accuracy off of the tee.

If like many golfers your ball always finds a way to seek out the water, you’re going to want to be especially careful as you make your way through Cumberland’s layout. Water rears its ugly head on more than half of the course’s holes, and is usually the culprit behind double-digit hole scores and clubs broken out of frustration. If you manage to stay away from the H20, the course’s 35 sand bunkers and drastic changes in elevation are sure to make themselves known many times during your round. Whether it’s the sloped fairways or undulated greens, mother nature’s heavy handed use of gravity at Cumberland may just be the determining factor in your quest for a low score.

Play within your strengths and navigate these natural hazards properly, and you’ll reveal a secret truth that only locals and frequent players have discovered: when approached with confidence, Cumberland’s layout is actually very playable.

You may think your round at Cumberland Golf Club is complete the minute you and your buddies walk off of the 18th green – but think again. No visit to Cumberland is complete without a stop into the Cumberland Golf Club Grill. With an extensive menu and drink selection, and an atmosphere that locals count as among their favorites, the 19th hole at Cumberland might just become your favorite of them all.
