Looking for a fun and yet challenging golf course at an affordable price? Look no further than Menomonie, Wisconsin, home of the University of Wisconsin, Stout. Menomonie is about 50-60 miles east of Minneapolis-St. Paul. The course is Chippewa Valley Golf Club, an 18 hole layout which offers a number of 90 degree "doglegs" that will force to you to become more of a golf "strategist."

The course consists of narrow fairways and sharp doglegs. As one player who played it for the first time, said: "There are lots of dogs, but where are the milk bones? If you try to cut the corners, you better be accurate as you are going to run into longer roughs (need grooming) and extremely wooded areas (with plenty of buckthorn) and where you will ask yourself: "Why didn't I bring more golf balls with me today?" The doglegs don't offer much forgiveness. You need to be a strategist and force yourself to lay-up instead of trying to be the long-ball hitter you think you are.

There is no GPS system so you are forced to follow the traditional yardage markers. Unfortunately, there aren't many of those so you have to estimate as best as you can off of the 150 yard markers.

Each tee box has a bench to rest on but most are in need of paint. Restroom facilities are available with soda pop machines up against the building. Cart paths are sand or gravel and need to be upgraded. Just adding some gravel to them will put them in better shape. The course is not easily walkable - carts are definitely recommended. One thing to note about the golf carts - gas operated with no back-up alarms.

The clubhouse is located adjacent to the golf course. Customer service was very good but only one employee collecting green fees and servicing the restaurant. Hot dogs, brats, sandwiches, are available at reasonable prices. Minimal clothing was available in the pro shop but there were vintage irons, including wedges, available for purchase at $5.00 per club. There are no rangers on the course and no beverage cart so you need to make sure you have your fluids purchased before starting your game.
