Golf in Clear Lake

Clear Lake is a small village in Polk County, set in the lake-and-farm country of northwestern Wisconsin between the St. Croix River and the Northwoods. Known as the boyhood home of baseball Hall of Famer Burleigh Grimes and aviator-explorer connections, the village grew around agriculture and the railroad. The surrounding landscape blends dairy farms with the lakes and woods typical of Polk County, in a quiet rural corner of the state. Clear Lake lies within reach of both the Twin Cities to the southwest and the deeper forests to the north. The area keeps the unhurried character of rural northwestern Wisconsin. Golfers in the area find recreational courses set among the farmland and lakes. With Amery and the St. Croix valley nearby, Clear Lake offers a quiet base for golf in Polk County, in a region defined by its dairy heritage and the glacial lakes scattered across northwestern Wisconsin.
