About Trappers Turn

The spring of 1991 marked the birth of Trappers Turn Golf Club and the dream fulfillment of Robert and Patricia Francis from Green Lake, WI to create a golf lover’s paradise. Two-time U.S. Open Champion Andy North and renowned golf course designer Roger Packard have created what many consider the ultimate golf course. North and Packard masterfully molded a layout to compliment the differing land features. The course is set in an area carved by glaciers, with the beauty of the Wisconsin Dells countryside as its backdrop creating a uniquely challenging and scenic design. The canyons were formed when melting waters of the glacier cut through the native sandstone leaving a natural route that today encompasses some of the most panoramic golf holes found anywhere.

Trappers Turn Golf Club hosted the 1998 Wisconsin State Open, won by PGA tour winner Steve Stricker, as well as several Wisconsin PGA Championships. Some of the best players in the world have attempted to conquer Trappers Turn.

Immediately following the Wisconsin State Open in 1998, ground-breaking began for the addition of the Arbor nine as well as reconstruction of the first three holes of the original 18 layout. Trappers Turn Golf Club was proud to present the Lake, Canyon, and Arbor nines in 2000. Our 27 hole facility allows our guests to choose between Scottish flair, traditional tree-lined fairways and holes compatible with the natural canyon beauty that made Wisconsin Dells famous.

A Masterpiece® continues in 2007. Under the new ownership of Kalahari Resorts, Trappers Turn is proud to announce the acquisition of a full color state-of-the-art GPS system by Uplink. The system will allow our guests to view advanced graphics of each hole and provide precise distance measurement to the pin, hazards, and other golf cars on the course. Uplink also allows our guests to order food and beverage items while on the golf course. Join us at Trappers Turn Golf Club in 2007 to experience tomorrow’s technology today!
