Nestled adjacent to the picturesque Lake Tomahawk, the course boasts a rich history, having been established in 1929 with its initial 9 holes, later expanded to 18 in 1962. Spanning 6,215 yards with a par of 71, this course features a front nine intricately crafted by Donald Ross and is renowned for housing the legendary 747-yard Par 6 17th hole, once deemed as the longest in the world.
