Wausau sits in the heart of Marathon County, where the Wisconsin River cuts through a landscape of rolling glacial terrain, hardwood forests, and open farmland — country that shapes golf courses with natural variety and a genuine sense of the Upper Midwest. Greenwood Hills Country Club has long served as the city's premier private club, a place where the local golf community gathers across generations in a region that takes its sport seriously despite a season shortened by northern Wisconsin winters.
Private country clubs in this part of the state tend to reflect their surroundings honestly — tree-lined fairways, elevation changes born from glacial topography, and turf conditions that reward a club that invests in its grounds. Without the pretension of a destination resort, a members' club like this one earns its reputation quietly, through the loyalty of its membership and the quality of the everyday experience.
Wausau itself is a city with more civic pride than its size might suggest, and Greenwood Hills appears to be an institution that reflects that character.
