Golf in Ashland

Ashland sits on the south shore of Lake Superior's Chequamegon Bay in northern Wisconsin, the largest community on this stretch of the greatest of the Great Lakes. The city grew around the iron ore docks and the timber trade, and its historic brownstone downtown reflects that prosperous era. Ashland serves as a gateway to the Apostle Islands and the Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest, with Lake Superior's cool waters moderating the climate and shaping the seasons. Northland College gives the city an environmental and academic bent. Golfers in the area find recreational courses set against the backdrop of the lake and the northern forests. With Bayfield and the Apostle Islands to the east and the Northwoods stretching south, Ashland offers a base for golf in one of the most striking natural settings in the state, where Lake Superior dominates the landscape.
