Apostle Highlands Golf Course Information

Apostle Highlands Golf Course is a par 72, 18-hole championship golf course in Bayfield, Wisconsin with enormous greens, many over 100 feet wide, that break towards the lake-even uphill! Our public golf course features 3 sets of tees making Apostle Highlands, with its spectacular views, playable for most every golfer.

You don't have to be a big hitter to score well but being straight off the tee will be important to keeping the ball in play. Many of the holes are tree-lined with trouble behind most of the greens if your approach is long.

With the changing elevations and stunning panoramas, one of the biggest challenges will be keeping your eye on the ball as you admire the view!

Length is 6,332 from the back tees, 5,887 from the middle tees, and 5,127 from the forward tee boxes. Water comes into play on 8 holes. Both the fairways and greens are heavily contoured resulting in some uphill and side hill lies in the fairway.

Lake Superior can be seen on 13 holes. The full service clubhouse takes advantage of the beautiful views, too, with plenty of windows in all directions inside and large, tree shaded decks outside which are great locations to relax after your round!

YARDAGE TIPS
Hole	Par	Tip	Photo Click Photo for Larger View
1	5	Tee off over "Lake Superior" from blue and white tees. Slight dogleg right keep tee shot and second on left side of fairway to avoid a large tree on the right. (524 blue, 475 white, 408 red)
2	4	Two tall trees on the left guard a long shot - a must carry or go safely down the middle - your option. Best option is left center of fairway for your approach. (335, 310, 293)
3	4	Most Photographed Hole: Long off tee gives you a downhill second. Most hit from the flat and have a blind approach to a green that slopes away with two large burms guarding the green. (383, 370, 295)
4	3	Severely undulated green sloping from back to front. Stay below the hole. (193,187,142)
5	4	Downhill dogleg right avoid going right off tee. Mounds on left and right side of green require an accurate approach. (417 370, 325)
6	4	Mounds of left and right all the way to the green - anywhere in fairway is perfect. Pond on right does not come into play. (445, 437 or 392, 325)
7	5	Uphill dogleg right. Pond on right comes into play off tee if you stray. Stay left on your second shot. Remember it's uphill and takes more club. (482, 471, 389)
8	3	Uphill par 3 with bunkers left and right. Tiered green offers a putting challenge. (142, 134, 133)
9	4	OB right is defined by the road. Pond twenty yards from green is reachable for long hitters. Stay on left side of fairway for the best approach. (319, 312, 305)
Special Note: All greens break to the Bay, even uphill!
10	4	Dog Leg right with water on the left. Long hitters beware! A 250 yard shot is plenty. Your second shot is to an elevated green with a ridge in the middle running across. (386, 366, 340)
11	3	Large pond in front with plenty of room between water and green. (138, 112, 99)
12	5	Caution here! Short but penal. O.B. left of tee. Second shot stay left, fairway slopes right towards lateral hazard. (517, 499, 462)

16	5	Accurate tee shot crucial to reach green in two. Bunker on left -30 yards from green. (498, 452, 392)
