In the winter, Alpine Valley is one of Wisconsin's largest ski resorts, but during the summer months the resort's three nine-hole courses serve as the centerpiece. The resort is situated in southern Wisconsin's Kettle Moraine area, which provides an interesting and diverse landscape for each nine. The courses: Summit, Sugar Creek, and Meadows, can be played individually or as 18-hole combinations. The Sugar Creek/Summit course begins along the banks of the front nine's namesake creek. It then climbs upward on the Summit nine, incorporating a variety of interesting elevation changes that range from subtle to dramatic. Golfers should expect some uneven lies. Water comes into play on almost every hole on the Sugar Creek nine but the mature trees and elevation changes pose a bigger threat on the back nine.

Has potential but terrible conditions.

We started off on the “summit” nine holes. Started off strong. The course was in pretty decent condition and had a very nice layout with a lot of challenging holes. Then the round took a complete 180° when we transitioned over to the “meadows” course. The nine was in extremely poor shape. The greens had been just aerated and we’re not properly filled with sand, making putting almost impossible. There was also multiple “tee boxes”, that were nothing more than shortened grass and were in extremely poor shape and we’re not even close to level. The sand traps are also just as much rocks as it is sand. Very disappointing second half of the day. Left a sour taste in my mouth. I understand aeration is a necessary evil, but there’s a right in the wrong way of doing it. These guys have it completely wrong.

Done with golf now site

Bait and switch or poor linkage on the golf site. I get there and there's no reservation so they get two other people to look at and the guy in charge says we're so done with golf now. The course is totally overbooked...there were 6 carts waiting at the first tee and no room for a single. They let me play because I look honest and I have the email for the reservation. But theres no way to play so the starter tells me to go over to sugar creek and play two balls and maybe by then something will open up. Sugar creek is like a par 3 course with some very fun holes but it's not a legal course and it's not what I came to play. The main course was even more backed up when I got done and it would have been dark as I started at 130 pm. They did their best but GolfNow or tee off needs to settle with me. They still had no record that I had paid and they had an overbooked course with no openings. Bait and switch...not sure what to do next.

It’s ok

I’ll put it this way, I wouldn’t pay full price to play here. Odd layout on a bunch of the holes, tress blocking the greens on 1, 10 and 11. Greens were small and hole locations on massive slopes, so difficult it’s almost not fun. Like seriously even if you hit a good putt, if you miss the hole your ball has a chance of rolling off completely. Many tee boxes in really rough shape and not level. Only paid $28 a guy to play so it was ok for the price but certainly a lot better courses out there.

Excellent Day at the Valley

The top 9 holes to me is always the prettiest of the 3 a 9’s but it is coming back from a lot of irrigation work. It was not bad but it is the reason I could not rate it with 5 stars
The greens were in great shape, fast and with break. The pace of play was excellent as we were a two some and never got slower down.
Keep up the good work staff and will be back soon

Haven't played there in years.
I was surprised that it was in such good condition. it was worth it.
# 3 was closed but that was ok.
Forgot how hilly the course was.
Good thing they have strong electric carts.

We are a family who has little to no extra money. My husband saved up for weeks and took our two boys. This was a REAL treat! Severe weather hit and they didn't even get 1 hole completed. I called the same night they tried to play, left a message begging for a credit to play again. Never received a phone call back. All of our money was lost and our boys didn't get to play on an actual golf course, with no money to play anywhere else in the future. So sad that they could not have the courtesy and respect to call us back. Will never go there again. Our boys were crushed!
