FAQ
Get answers to common questions about playing Lake Wissota and what to expect.
From a scoring perspective, Lake Wissota challenges consistency. The 120.0 slope rating keeps it accessible for developing players. The course rating of 69.2 reflects on scoring relative to par 72.
A 15 handicap golfer should consider tees closer to 5394 yards. The back tees extend to 5971.0 yards, which makes approach shots longer and scoring more challenging.
With a course rating of 69.2 and par 72, a mid-handicap golfer would typically score in the mid to high 80s. Stronger players aiming to break 72 must manage approach shots and avoid penalty strokes.
At a full length of 5971.0 yards, it emphasizes accuracy and wedge play.
Architecturally, it reflects a Parkland style. Overall, the setup will reward players who place the ball in safe positions far from hazards. Also, type of shot is more crucial rather than just trying to gain distance.
The combination of a slope rating of 120.0 and yardage reaching 5971.0 yards creates consistent pressure on approach shots. You will need to balance risk and reward, especially on longer par 4s and protected greens.
