Golf in Westby

Westby is a small city in Vernon County, set in the heart of the Driftless country of southwestern Wisconsin. Known for its strong Norwegian heritage, celebrated at its annual Syttende Mai festival, and for the Snowflake ski-jumping club that draws competitors to its hills, the city sits amid the steep wooded ridges and deep coulees of the unglaciated region. Westby lies in the dairy and farm country between La Crosse and the Wisconsin River, near the trout streams and scenic backroads of the Driftless, in a region with a thriving organic-farming movement. Golfers in the area find recreational courses set among the ridges and valleys of the Driftless. With Viroqua nearby and La Crosse and the Mississippi River within reach to the west, Westby offers a base for golf in Vernon County, in one of the most scenic corners of southwestern Wisconsin, where the coulees, the Norwegian heritage, and the ski jumping define the region.
