Wilderness Resort officials announced today that they are making some noteworthy changes to their award-winning, championship, 18-hole Wild Rock Golf Club for the 2025 season.

According to Pat Stein, Wild Rock Director of Golf, "Golfers visiting Wild Rock this season are in for a real treat. In March and April 2025, we will be undergoing a major bunker refurbishment to provide guests with the best possible playing conditions."

This will include removing the existing sand in the bunkers and replacing current bunker liners with a Capillaryflow bunker liner system, returning the bunkers back to their original design and replacing the sand with Fredonia Bunker Sand.

The resort will be working with the pros at Wadsworth Golf Construction Company out of Plainfield, IL to complete this project. Wadsworth has an impressive track record overseeing the construction for TPC Wisconsin, the construction and remodeling of University Ridge and the restoration of Torrey Pines in California.

Stein adds that there should only be minimal disruption from the project in April. During this time 9 holes will be available for play Monday-Thursday with the full course open Friday-Sunday. The entire project should be completed by the first week of May.

Other planned improvements for 2025 season include getting a new fleet of club car golf cars with 10-inch screens running an enhanced Tagmarshall GPS System.

"We're excited for golfers to see and experience all of these improvements," said Stein. "They're certain add to the beauty and playability of the course."

Events planned for the 2025 Season at Wild Rock include: The Wild Rock Cup presented by American Family Insurance April 28; Battle of the Rock presented by American Family Insurance May 12; Dells Junior Championship presented by American Family Insurance June 23 and 24; Three Oaks Golf Tour September 9-11; the WSGA Net Partners Championship September 16, WSGA Scramble Series Championship September 17; WSGA Senior Tour Championship September 24 and Wisconsin PGA Fall Pro - Pro October 13.
