Northern Bay Resort

Long time customer, first time reviewer. I have stood idly by far too long watching DJ Viking run this place into the ground. What once stood out as a unique tiki bar with a fun atmosphere and good music has since turned into a karaōke free for all with the backtrack of a late 1980’s playlist.
I was sick to my stomach watching DJ Viking squint as he finds his next Beejees track to play, in between ordering a can of bud light which he pays for «with a coupon.»
To the owners of Norther Bay,
If you’d like to turn the tiki bar into a free for all, by all means let DJ Viking commandeer that ship straight into the storm. Full speed ahead!
If you’d like to bring back the laid back summer vibes which I (and many others) remember the tiki bar as, please find other sources of «entertainment.» (Even a touchtunes DJ is better than the disaster I witnessed tonight)

Golfed this course two times once in 2012 and this past week. Around the greens the course is in good shape consistent with the $ 90.00 price tag and the 7 replica holes are impressive. For the price I’d rather go to nearby Trappers Turn or the course at The Wilderness resort. The fairways outside of 50 yards from the green were revealing too much bare ground and appeared to be cut crab grass, not typical of a Wisconsin course that you are looking to spend near 100 to play, but if your looking for plenty of roll it may suit you. The clubhouse/​bar is aesthetically pleasing however the service is subpar at best. Worth a look but there are better courses for the price. Carts have rangefinder and free range balls come w/​the round.

We’ve both stayed in a deluxe condo and golfed here and both were superb. If you can rent a condo, you won’t be dissapointed as they are well maintained and most have premium kitchens and huge rooms. Our condo was on the 1^st hole of the golf course, yes occasionally a golf ball would come careening off of our patio doors but it was still beautiful.
The course itself was immaculate and it wasn’t very busy. I had never played a replica course before so was really surprised by the designs of the holes and how well i played! The gps carts were great, we even ordered our lunch from the cart to have at the 9^th hole.
I’ve never used the marina other than to drive through to see what it’s like but there’s plenty of dock space for visitors who want to go up to the bar.
We’ve been to the restaurant several times and it’s always a good bet for friday night fish fry. Plus great views of the golf course.
If you’re staying with kids, there’s a nice pool and play area with sand volleyball, basketball and tennis. There’s also a beautiful sand beach on the lake and the lake is humongous, great for tubing and skiing!

This is a replica course that falls second only to WIld rock. This is a 18 hole course with either 6 or 7 replica holes from courses such as Augusta National, TPC Sawgrass, Oakmont, and Bay Hill Club.
The grounds are outstanding and the GPS enabled carts are a great addition. Well worth the money.
