Welcome to
Skye Golf in the Whitecap Mountains!
The golf course is open for the
2009 season. Call 715.561.2227 to reserve your tee time.
 Experience
the tranquility of a mountaintop course removed from the noise
and traffic of everyday life. Breathe in the fresh air as you overlook Lake Superior's South Shore and the
Apostle Islands from vistas soaring 1,100 feet above the shoreline. Yet keep your eye on the ball as Skye
favors the accurate shooter!
For a
Midwest golf resort, Skye offers
you a truly unique experience. Designed by renowned architect
Garrett Gill from the vision of David Lundberg, this one-of-a-kind
course is luxurious, challenging and peaceful.
Take
a scenic drive to Skye Golf in the Whitecap Mountains. We're located
just 15 minutes west of downtown Hurley, Wisconsin and Ironwood,
Michigan! Your drive takes Wisconsin's most scenic roads. Wisconsin
Highway 77 rides the ridges of the ancient Penokee Mountain Range as it
heads westward from world famous Silver Street. Iron County Highway E
brings you past wetlands and mountain ridges to Weber Lake; our golf
course rising more than 300 feet from its shores. Wisconsin Highway 122 wraps
around the west side of The Whitecap Mountains on its northbound route
to the shores of Lake Superior at Saxon Harbor.
Skye is carved from the ancient bedrock and rolling greens
of Whitecap, Thunderhead and Eagles Nest Mountains. The setting reminds
one of the origins of golf and its highland traditions -
when King James IV of Scotland became the first authenticated
player some 500 years ago.
Enjoy playing our
18 Emeralds in the Skye
amid a tapestry of blue granite ridges,
highland meadows, bubbling glacial springs and vast hardwood
forests overlooking Lake Superior. Glacial rifts
and mountain formations offer you challenging changes
in elevation from tee to green. And the lush bent grass fairways
make this a golf course to remember.
This premier
Wisconsin golf resort also offers you an incredible driving range
for you to warm up for those accurate drives before you take
to the links. The aqua driving range is set apart from the course
in its own serene environment.
If the rest of your family isn't as enthused about golf as you,
Skye offers plenty of activities to keep them busy while you take your time
and savor your game. The Alpine village setting with abundant lodging is located on the shores of Weber Lake. It's a great
spot for the kids to play our disc golf course, fish, swim and ride the paddle boats. Just
to the north at Saxon Harbor, one can experience swimming, agate
hunting, sailing & deep sea fishing on Lake Superior. There's also a large swimming pool and hot tub in the Whitecap Lodge.
They can even keep up with Face Book or Twitter away with free WI-FI
from our Village Center.
Within half an hour of here

mountain biking, and 200 miles of ATV trails that begin right from our
property. For the more adventurous, kayak the shores
of Lake Superior. We offer kayak excursions
and learning experiences for those at every skill level.

featuring good food with ample portions at modest prices. The
nightlife on Hurley's famous Silver Street is not to be missed.
