Black River Golf Course

Play a Dairy State favorite with today’s feature: $10 for 9 Holes with Cart at Black River Golf Course in Medford near Eau Claire ($23 Value. Good Any Day, Any Time until July 1, 2017!)

Warmer weather is quickly approaching, and if you’re looking for the perfect way to start off the season, a round at today’s feature course, Black River Golf Course in Medford, is just the way to do it.

As you make your way through Black River’s spectacular 9 holes, the first thing you’ll quickly realize is that the course was aptly named. Water, both from the flowing Black River and other ponds, comes into play on nearly half of the course’s holes, with the first, second, and eighth holes posing the most significant water-related challenges. Sand bunkers are present periodically throughout many of the fairways, but it's the cleverly placed greenside ones that are mostly likely to give you trouble by eating up errant shots that miss the green left or right.

While bailing out away from sand bunkers and areas of water might always seem like the smart play, Black River is also heavily inundated with tall mature trees and areas of thick brush that must be avoided as well. At just over 3,050 yards from the back tees, keeping your longer, less accurate clubs in the bag, and instead opting for what you can hit with the most control, will put you in the best position to shoot a low score on the day.

What makes Black River such a great place to play isn’t just the course itself, but the overall experience. The grounds are always in great shape, and the natural, scenic atmosphere provides the perfect mix of relaxation and inspiration to help you play your best. Speaking of playing your best, be sure to stop by the course’s full-service driving range before teeing off on number one. A few minutes warming up will go a long way in helping you best the course’s more challenging holes.

Whether you live two minutes or twenty miles away, a trip to Black River Golf Course is one that every Wisconsin golfer should make this year. Don’t wait and let this deal expire – reserve your round now!
