Set among the ancient hills and forested landscape of Wisconsin’s Northwoods, Northwood Golf Course in Rhinelander offers a municipal golf experience with country club charm. Designed by Minneapolis-based architect Don Herfort, this 18-hole public course plays to a par of 72 and weaves through natural topography that feels less like a layout and more like a journey.
From the moment you arrive, you’re welcomed by the friendly vibe of a course deeply rooted in community. Northwood runs a full summer calendar of golf leagues, junior programs, and social events, making it a hub for local players and visitors alike. The clubhouse features a full-service restaurant and bar, adding even more reason to linger after your round.
Course conditions are consistently excellent throughout the season, and the wooded fairways, rolling terrain, and well-kept greens create a scenic challenge that keeps golfers coming back. Whether you’re a Rhinelander regular or a vacationer exploring the gateway to the Northwoods, Northwood GC is the kind of place that feels like home — even on your first visit.
