Wisconsin has a secret
treasure with this challenging emerald
of a golf resort carved into three mountains within the ancient Penokee
Range. Savor 18 holes of world class, championship golf on exquisitely
manicured, bent grass fairways overlooking Lake Superior's South Shore
& the Apostle Islands.
Welcome to
Skye Golf in the Whitecap Mountains!
Experience
the tranquility of a mountaintop course removed from the noise
and traffic of everyday life. Breathe in the freshest air in
Wisconsin 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 Golf in the Whitecap Mountains 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.
Skye Golf is carved from the ancient bedrock and rolling greens
of Whitecap, Thunderhead and Eagles Nest Mountains. The setting
will remind you of the origins of the game and its highland traditions
when King James IV of Scotland became the first authenticated
player of golf some 500 years ago.
You will enjoy playing amid a tapestry of blue granite ridges,
highland meadows, bubbling glacial springs and vast hardwood
forests overlooking Lake Superior and Weber Lake. Glacial rifts
and unusual 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 driving range is set apart from the course
in its own serene environment. There is no detail we overlook
to give you the best possible experience.
New for 2008:
SkyGolf's exclusive IntelliGreen technology allows you an eagle's view
of each hole from anywhere on the course. You can accurately calculate
the distances around dog legs, over hills and even through trees;
whether your target is visible from your vantage point or not.
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 disc golf, 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.
Within half an hour of this resort you'll
discover more than 30 waterfalls, wilderness hiking,
mountain biking, and 200 miles of ATV trails that begin right from our
property. For the more adventurous, kayak the shores
of Lake Superior and our raging rivers. We offer kayak excursions
