July 16-18
Eagle Springs Golf Resort
Eagle, Wisc.
The 6th annual Wisconsin Gutty Golf Challenge is again at our favorite – the Eagle Springs Golf Resort, which opened for play in 1893. As the course grew to 18 holes, it is believed that Tom Bendelow, who worked for the AG Spalding Golf Company in Chicago, was the course architect. After the depression in 1929 the golf course was cut to 9-holes. Much of the historic layout remains intact.
