FEATURED COURSE
Royal St. Patrick’s Golf Links in Wrightstown is the Fox Valley’s only 19-hole golf course. It was created in 2003 and was inspired by early Scottish and Irish golf courses.
The championship links-style layout meanders through 500 acres of rolling terrain. Eleven crystal clear lakes and wind-swept golden fescue grass not only add to the beauty of the residential community, but also create a challenge for daily players. Each hole was given a unique Scottish name and moves within the property’s 500 acres almost independent of the rest, bordered by pristine lakes and expanses of wildflowers and native fescue grass.
Minimal forced carries and five sets of tees makes the Golf Links a pleasure for players of any ability. Dotted with 86 bunkers – some of them sod-walled, with names like “Dragon Tooth,” “Paul’s Pit” and “Wallace’s Arse – navigating the Golf Links is a lot of fun. Wind is a plentiful occurrence, but wide landing areas and interesting playing angles make no two rounds the same.
“Halfe Pint” is the 19th hole. It can be used as a bet-settling bonus hole or a tune up to your tour of the Golf Links. The player in each group who is closest to the pin on the tee shot receives a complimentary drink in the Pub & Grille.
Halfway between Green Bay and Appleton along Highway 41, Royal St. Patrick’s mission has been to “renew tradition," and your golf experience truly will reflect that feeling.
