Golf in Poplar

Poplar is a small village in Douglas County, set in the forest country of northwestern Wisconsin near the Lake Superior region. The surrounding landscape is heavily wooded, part of the vast forests of the far north, with the village known as the hometown of World War II flying ace Richard Bong. Poplar lies in a quiet, deeply rural part of the state, in country within reach of Superior and the Lake Superior shore, dotted with lakes and shaped by the timber industry. The area keeps a small, outdoor-oriented character. Golfers in the area find recreational courses set among the northern woods. With Superior and Lake Superior to the west and the forests of Douglas County surrounding it, Poplar offers a quiet base for golf in northwestern Wisconsin, in the forest country near Lake Superior, where the timber, the lakes, and the proximity to the greatest Great Lake define the landscape.
