Golf in Wisconsin Rapids

Wisconsin Rapids is a city in Wood County, set along the Wisconsin River in central Wisconsin. Long a center of the paper industry, the city sits amid the cranberry marshes that thrive in the sandy soils of the central plains, with the river and the mills defining its character and history.

The area blends its paper-mill heritage with the cranberry country that surrounds it. Golfers in the area find recreational and club courses set among the river-valley and central sands terrain. With Stevens Point to the northeast and the Wisconsin Dells within reach to the south, Wisconsin Rapids offers a 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.
