Alpine Valley Resort

Since its establishment in 1964, Alpine Valley Resort has been a must-play destination for golfers seeking a relaxing day on the course. Situated in the Kettle Moraine region of Southern Wisconsin, Alpine Valley offers a well-maintained, very playable course which takes advantage of the natural hilly terrain of the region.

Designed by course architect Arthur L. Johnson, this 27-hole facility challenges players to focus on accuracy rather than raw power. With 16 ponds, more than 50 bunkers and the meandering Sugar Creek running through several holes, a good round can go south in a hurry if not careful.

Depending upon which 18-hole course you play—between the Meadows, Summitt, and Sugar Creek nines— you'll end up with a par-71 or par-72. The longest combination is Summitt-Meadows, totaling 6,107 yards for a 70.2/125 course/slope rating, while the shortest is Sugar Creek-Summitt at 5,873 yards.

Elevation changes feature throughout and offer spectacular views, particularly on No. 9 Summitt, which is Alpine Valley's "most talked about" hole. Other notable holes include No. 4 Meadows, a 399-yard par-4 with a literal 90° right turn, and No. 5 Summit, which features an offset, two-part fairway separated by water that gives players a rare forced carry of considerable length on the approach.

No matter which 18 you find yourself on, you'll enjoy the challenging but fair design that offers plenty of chances to score well at Alpine Valley Resort.
