Golf in Nekoosa

Nekoosa is a small city in Wood County, set along the Wisconsin River in central Wisconsin south of Wisconsin Rapids. The city grew around the paper industry along the river, like its neighbors in the area, and sits in the sandy central plains country dotted with cranberry marshes. Nekoosa lies in a quiet part of the state, in country defined by the river, the paper mills, and the cranberry bogs that thrive in the sandy soils of central Wisconsin. The area keeps a small-city character. Golfers in the area find recreational courses set among the river-valley and central sands terrain. With Wisconsin Rapids to the north and the Wisconsin Dells within reach to the south, Nekoosa offers a quiet base for golf in central Wisconsin, in the river-and-marsh country of Wood County, where the Wisconsin River, the paper industry, and the cranberry marshes shape the landscape of the central sands.
