A very fun course with 18 distinct holes, history lessons abound, and possibly the best public "hang" set up outside of the major destination resorts.

The Club at Lac La Belle is a beautiful golf course, working very hard to make itself a destination course.

It's really astonishing to play the Club at Lac La Belle if you had ever played the old Lac La Belle Country Club (for a while called Rolling Hills).

This course just did a major renovation and will be one of the best courses in the state once the grass grows.

The history at Lac La Belle is quite remarkable; a mini-museum in the clubhouse pays tribute to what it calls one of the original majors — the Oconomowoc Open — which at one time offered the highest prize pool in golf.

The latest ranking of the Top 100 Golf Courses in the World serves as the ultimate global golf bucket list. Most members of our World Top 100 Panel are seasoned golfers, each playing 20-30 of these courses annually while travelling extensively over decades to form their opinions on others. We recognise that opinions vary—even among our panel members. Rankings are subjective, and there are undoubtedly 50 or more courses in the UK and USA alone that could easily fit onto this list.
