Three Lakes sits at the heart of Wisconsin's Northwoods, a region defined by its chain of interconnected lakes, dense boreal forest, and the unhurried rhythm of a genuine Up North escape. Big Stone Golf Course takes its name from the glacial character of this land — the massive boulders and rocky outcroppings left behind when the ice retreated thousands of years ago, shaping a terrain that gives northern Wisconsin its rugged, distinctive personality.
Playing a par 70 in the Northwoods means the course likely leans shorter and tighter than a traditional layout, favoring accuracy through the trees over pure power off the tee. That trade-off suits the setting well: the forest presses in, the light filters through pines, and the round feels more like moving through the landscape than simply scoring your way across it.
Three Lakes itself is a small resort community where golf coexists with fishing, boating, and the slower pace that draws people to this corner of Wisconsin each summer — making Big Stone a natural stop for visitors and returning regulars alike.
