Golf in Altoona

Altoona sits just east of Eau Claire in the Chippewa River valley of west-central Wisconsin, effectively a part of the greater Eau Claire metro. The city has grown alongside its larger neighbor, sharing in the region's identity as a hub for western Wisconsin and home to a celebrated music and arts scene. The Eau Claire and Chippewa rivers shape the surrounding landscape, with the Driftless country and its unglaciated ridges beginning not far to the south and west. Altoona's lakefront park and downtown reflect the steady revitalization that has marked the Chippewa Valley in recent years. Golfers in the area find a mix of established clubs and recreational courses set in the wooded river-valley terrain. With Eau Claire's amenities minutes away and the bluff country of the Mississippi within reach, Altoona offers a convenient base for golf in this corner of the state.
