Our Course

Apostle Highlands Golf Course is a par 72, 18-hole championship golf course in Bayfield, Wisconsin with enormous greens and stunning panoramic views of Lake Superior. Our public golf course features 3 sets of tees which makes our course playable for all players.

You don't have to be a big hitter to score well, but being straight off the tee will be important in keeping the ball in play. Many of the holes are tree-lined with trouble behind most of the greens if your approach shot is long.
The length of the course is 6,332 yards 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, which results in some uphill and side hill lies in the fairway.
​
Lake Superior can be seen on 13 holes of this magnificent course. The full-service clubhouse is climate controlled and lets you enjoy views of the big Lake or, if the temperature is right, you can enjoy the scenic views from the clubhouse deck or out on our patio overlooking the 9th green.
