The Golf Club at Cedar Creek

Course Overview
The Golf Club at Cedar Creek offers a distinctive blend of natural beauty and refined playability, set within the rolling hills of Onalaska, Wisconsin. This 18-hole, private championship course stretches over approximately 7,015 yards from the back tees and plays to a par 72. The layout gracefully maneuvers through mature woodlands and quiet wetlands, delivering a course experience that balances strategic challenges with accessible options for golfers of varying skill levels.
The course is designed in a classic parkland style, with generous fairways framed by towering oaks and maples, while the surrounding natural features—grassy knolls, water hazards, and native vegetation—shape both hole design and shot selection. Players will find that several holes require thoughtful navigation of water features that weave through the course, inviting precision off the tee and careful approach shots. The greens are well-guarded by bunkers that demand respect but reward well-executed iron play.
Cedar Creek’s landscape is alive with local wildlife. It’s common to spot deer or a fox sashaying near the fairways, contributing to the tranquil atmosphere that defines each round. The course is maintained to championship standards throughout the season, and the conditioning enhances playability whether approaching from the forward tees or stretching out from the tips.
Beyond the course itself, the main clubhouse offers guests a comfortable and welcoming setting with amenities that include fine dining and event spaces suitable for member functions and private gatherings. The staff’s attentive service complements the golfing experience and adds to the overall sense of refinement.
Walkers are encouraged, with cart use available by request, and the gently undulating terrain remains manageable underfoot with sturdy golf shoes. Best played during Wisconsin’s late spring through early fall, Cedar Creek rewards thoughtful play and offers players an opportunity to recharge amid a peaceful landscape.
For those invited into its membership, The Golf Club at Cedar Creek represents a quietly impressive blend of challenging golf, natural surroundings, and classic Midwestern hospitality.

Overall, our experience during our wedding itself was good! The planning process was anything but. The Banquets manager was HORRIBLE to work with. 1. She promised us we could fit a certain amount of people in the room, which we later learned was not possible due to a seating chart she sent us. (In the end it was fine because we had enough no's, but this could have been very bad.) 2. She was IMPOSSIBLE to get in touch with. We called/ left voicemails/ emailed and called some more with no luck. We had our taste test, and after that was radio silent--to the point that she didn't even return phone calls when we were trying to PAY HER OUR DEPOSIT, and then she complained to other people at our wedding about us not paying that deposit. Three weeks before the wedding we finally heard from her, and she left me a nasty voicemail message essentially reprimanding us for not calling her (which we had been repeatedly). Somehow she only was capable of returning my husband's phone calls/emails. Every single time I tried contacting her, it was ignored to the point that my husband had to just forward them all to her a second time, and she would only respond to him. Overall, our wedding day went very smoothly. The wait staff was well trained, and everyone raved about the delicious food! BUT if you're going to have your wedding here, be prepared to have an unnecessary amount of stress trying to contact them.

Daughter had her wedding and reception at Cedar Creek. Beautiful facility with excellent food . Great communication. My children have had weddings at boutique style venues that were not as rewarding. Especially for the cost Cedar is terrific

Course is in great shape. Always fun to play here. Take advantage of their Special Guest Day. A round of golf+ a sandwich and a drink afterwards. Must know a member. The deal can't be beaten anywhere. Staff is superb.

Waited one and a half hours to be served with the food being so so. Never going back

A beautiful golf course! I had the opportunity to serve here for a golf outing event! The views are immaculate and you are bound to see some beautiful Wisconsin wild life! When I went I saw 4 deer, and a fox (not to mention no less than 10 bird species)! I hope to play here some day in the future (God willing)! Amazing food, service a one of a kind experience. Would recommend!

I sent an email to Cedar Creek to inquire about some family photography options and Dave, who I presume is the general manager, responded to my email. In our communication I shared multiple things, why I wanted photos there, what it was for, when it was for, and even asked for fees and restrictions. Dave's responses were "short" to say the least and never really addressed any of my questions. Didn't even say hello. His last response was "check with me next year a week ahead." I'm a firm believer that first impressions are everything and this experience was a red flag. I can't imagine trying to book an event there if this is a representation of how Cedar Creek responds to and engages with potential customers. 2 stars because this is over email so giving him the benefit of the doubt that perhaps he'd come off more professional via phone or in person. Note - I did not bother responding at that point, I prefer to engage in more positive experiences even if my needs couldn't be met but perhaps I'm just old school when it comes to customer service and etiquette. And also didn't respond because I don't think the tone of the conversation would've changed. Most importantly, sharing my experience here would make more of an impact versus responding.
