The Clubhouse - An 8-Bedroom Lodge for Golf Buddy Trips

The Lake

Your own slice of Wisconsin wilderness.

The Clubhouse sits on the edge of a pristine Central Wisconsin lake - the kind that looks different at every hour of the day. Whether you're up before sunrise with a rod in your hand or winding down around a lakeside fire after 18 holes, this water is yours for the stay.

The wooded shoreline offers privacy, the dock gives you direct water access, and the lakeshore walking path connects it all. No crowds, no reservations - just open water.

Fishing Guide

What's biting.

Central Wisconsin lakes are loaded with gamefish year-round. Here's what to expect and how to make the most of your time on the water.

Walleye

The prized catch of Central Wisconsin. Best at dawn and dusk, near weed edges and rocky points.

Dawn & Dusk Jigs & Crawlers Spring-Fall

Largemouth Bass

Aggressive and fun on light tackle. Target shallow coves, fallen timber, and lily pad edges.

All Day Topwater & Soft Plastics Summer Peak

Northern Pike

Hard-fighting and plentiful. Work spinnerbaits and spoons along weed beds and drop-offs.

Morning Spoons & Spinnerbaits Year-Round

Bluegill & Crappie

Great for all skill levels, including kids. Wax worms and small jigs off the dock work great.

Any Time Small Jigs & Worms Easy Catch

Wisconsin Fishing License

A valid WI fishing license is required for all anglers 16+. Purchase online at dnr.wisconsin.gov or at any local bait shop before your trip.
