What Is Spider Lake Golf Resort?

Updated

Spider Lake Golf Resort is a public 9-hole golf course in Hayward, Wisconsin, open to golfers of all skill levels. It sits among the tall pines of Wisconsin's Northwoods and has been operating since 1972. The course plays 3,300 yards from the longest tees at a par of 36, with three sets of tees to accommodate different abilities. Beyond golf, the resort offers lodging and Stay & Play packages, making it a destination for a golf-focused trip rather than just a round.

The Course at a Glance

Feature Detail
Location Hayward, Wisconsin (Northwoods)
Type Public golf course
Holes 9
Par 36
Yardage 3,300 yards from the longest tees
Tee sets 3, for different skill levels
Opened 1972
Setting Among tall pines

The three tee sets are the practical detail here: a beginner and a low-handicap player can play the same nine holes from different distances, so the course works for mixed-ability groups. The par-36 layout means a full round is nine holes, which suits a shorter outing or a replay.

What the Website Covers

The site is organized around a few main areas:

  • Course information — details on the layout and playing the course
  • Facilities — what's available on site
  • About — background on the resort
  • Stay & Play — lodging combined with golf

The Stay & Play section describes condos and Stay and Golf Specials, positioned as competitive lodging rates. According to the site, the resort aims to keep a golf vacation affordable regardless of party size or time of year.

Who It's For

This fits you if you want:

  • A relaxed nine-hole round in northern Wisconsin rather than a long championship course
  • A course that a group with mixed skill levels can play together
  • A golf trip where lodging is part of the same property
  • A public course — no private membership required

It's less suited to someone looking for an 18-hole championship layout or a high-volume resort with extensive amenities, based on what the site presents.

Practical Notes

The site does not publish green fees, lodging rates, or booking requirements in the material available, so check the Course Information and Stay & Play pages directly for current pricing and availability before planning a trip. Hayward is in northern Wisconsin, so the golf season is seasonal — the site notes that Stay & Play is offered year-round, but confirm course availability for your dates.
