Golf in Birchwood

Birchwood is a small village in Washburn County, set in the lake-and-forest country of northwestern Wisconsin. Billing itself as the Bluegill Capital of Wisconsin, the village sits amid a dense chain of lakes that draw anglers and summer residents to the Northwoods. The surrounding landscape blends timber, water, and the gentle terrain typical of this part of the state, near the corridor linking Rice Lake to the Hayward fishing country. Birchwood swells with vacationers in the warmer months and quiets through the long northern winters. Golfers in the area find recreational courses set among the lakes and woods. With Rice Lake to the south and the Hayward Northwoods to the north, Birchwood offers a quiet base for golf in a region defined by its fishing lakes and its forests, where the game shares the landscape with the water.
