River Hills, Wisconsin · 18 holes · par 72 · Private. Designed by H. S. Colt, C. H. Alison, Walter Travis, Robert Trent Jones, Sr., Robert Trent Jones, Sr., Robert Trent Jones, Sr., Robert Trent Jones, Sr., Tom Bendelow, Roger Rulewich, Arthur Hills.

A caddie's yardage book for every hole: plays-like distance from USGS lidar elevation, reach and carry numbers for every bunker and water hazard, green front, middle and back, which way each green falls, and the lay-up zone on par 5s. Distances are from the back tees along the mapped hole; for a shorter tee, take off the scorecard difference.

Course profile

• At about 670 ft the ball carries about 1% farther than at sea level, so a 150-yard shot plays like about 149. Golfers visiting from low elevation should expect to club down.
• Biggest climb: hole 6, where the green sits 26 ft above the tee and plays about 9 yards longer.
• Biggest drop: hole 1, where the green sits 40 ft below the tee and plays about 13 yards shorter.
• 11 greens tilt 2% or more. Each hole below says which side of the hole leaves an uphill putt.

Maps: tee at the bottom, green at the top. The dashed line is the mapped hole; the gold band is the lay-up zone; the arrow on the green points downhill.

Hole maps, hazards and playing notes come from mapped course data and USGS 3DEP elevation (public domain), not a visit. Plays-like numbers use the Skitty caddie's rule of one yard per 3 ft of rise, from the longest tee; altitude uses 1.16% of carry per 1,000 ft. Tees, hazards and conditions change; check with the course before you play. Map data © OpenStreetMap contributors (ODbL 1.0) via OpenGolfAPI. Scorecard yardages and ratings as published.
