A public course in the Elkhart Lake resort area of eastern Wisconsin, memorable mostly for its distinctive name.
This course is in our GSPro library — pull it up in any bay and play it wall to wall.
"The name alone makes it a fun trivia pick; otherwise a modest daily-fee course."
Quit-Qui-Oc traces to 1927, when itinerant architect Tom Bendelow — the prolific Scotsman nicknamed the 'Johnny Appleseed of American golf' for the hundreds of everyday public courses he laid out in golf's early boom years — built the original nine holes in Wisconsin's Kettle Moraine country. The back nine was abandoned during World War II and rebuilt in the 1960s by the Wiese family, who still own the 250-acre, 27-hole property after more than sixty years; a third nine came from architect Bob Lohman in 2001. The name itself derives from a Menominee word meaning 'crooked river,' historically applied to a stretch of the nearby Mullet River valley near Elkhart Lake.
Casual and beginner golfers, families, and anyone who wants a taste of early Bendelow-era American public golf without resort-area green fees.
The signature 15th is a 420-yard dogleg par 4 to a blind, elevated green where wind and out-of-bounds punish anything hit right; the Glacial nine's 5th, framed by a single sprawling oak, is a longtime local favorite.
A genuinely forgiving, family-friendly layout — new golfers and juniors are welcome, and reviewers regularly cite it as one of the best golf values in Sheboygan County for a relaxed first round.
The Wiese family has owned and run the club for more than six decades, giving it a lived-in, small-town character unusual for a 27-hole facility.
The blind tee shot and elevated green on 15 create a genuine risk-reward moment on a simulator, though most of the round plays at a relaxed, low-elevation pace typical of Kettle Moraine farmland.
Public daily-fee course open to all, with an on-site restaurant; green fees run modest by the standards of the nearby Elkhart Lake resort area.
