About Wild Ridge & Mill Run Golf Courses

 

Welcome to Wild Ridge & Mill Run, the premier public golf destination in the Chippewa Valley, nestled in the rolling terrain of Eau Claire, Wisconsin. Whether you're chasing a championship-challenge, looking for a peaceful walk among nature, or wanting a friendly course where golfers of all skill levels feel at home, we have something for you.

Wild Ridge

A true championship caliber course, Wild Ridge stretches to over 7,000 yards from the back tees yet offers five tee sets so even casual or new players can enjoy a round at roughly 5,300 yards from the forward tees.

The design blends the rugged beauty of the Northwoods with classic links-style elements: elevated trees, framed vistas, dramatic elevation changes, and holes that challenge both strategy and shot-making.  From the first tee, cut out of the woods, to the wind-blown par-3 17th, the course offers wide appeal and a chance to immerse yourself in the region's natural beauty.  Expect to see wildlife-deer, turkeys, hawks, eagles-plus sweeping views and unforgettable sunsets from the clubhouse overlooking the back 9.

Mill Run

Built more than 35 years ago in a peaceful, park-like setting, Mill Run offers a more classic, approachable complement to Wild Ridge. ([ wildridgegolf.com ][2]) With back tees measuring about 6,000 yards and forward tees closer to 4,800 yards, the course provides a well-balanced mix of challenge and enjoyment. Mill Run features well-groomed fairways, subtle but strategic hazards including bunkers and tricky greens, and a layout that is just as friendly to beginners seeking fun as it is to experienced golfers seeking precision.  Reviewers note its "scenic and playable for all levels," always well maintained, with a feel closer to a private course.
