Golf in Merrill

Merrill is a city in Lincoln County, set where the Prairie River meets the Wisconsin River in north-central Wisconsin. Known as the City of Parks for its extensive green spaces, the city grew around the timber trade and sits at the southern edge of the Northwoods, with the Wisconsin River shaping its setting. Merrill lies in country that blends the dairy farms of central Wisconsin with the forests and lakes stretching north toward Tomahawk and the resort country. The area keeps a small-city character near the wooded north. Golfers in the area find recreational courses set among the river-valley and forest terrain. With Wausau to the south and Tomahawk and the Northwoods to the north, Merrill offers a base for golf in north-central Wisconsin, in the river-and-forest country of Lincoln County, where the Wisconsin River, the parks, and the transition into the Northwoods shape the landscape.
