Golf in Blanchardville

Blanchardville is a small village in Lafayette County, set in the Driftless country of southwestern Wisconsin along the Pecatonica River. The surrounding landscape is classic unglaciated terrain, with steep wooded ridges, deep valleys, and the scenic backroads that define this part of the state. The village carries a strong Norwegian heritage, like many communities in this corner of Wisconsin, and grew around farming and the river. Blanchardville lies in the dairy country between Madison and the Illinois border, near the historic lead-mining region. The area keeps the quiet, rural character typical of the Driftless. Golfers in the area find recreational courses set among the ridges and valleys of southwestern Wisconsin. With New Glarus and its Swiss heritage nearby and the mining towns of Mineral Point and Darlington within reach, Blanchardville offers an unhurried base for golf in one of the most scenic corners of the state.
