Countryside Golf Club

Set on the outskirts of Kaukauna, Countryside Golf Club is exactly what its name promises: a no-frills, local haunt cut from the rolling fields of northeast Wisconsin. Pulling in off Weiler Road, you’ll find an unpretentious clubhouse that might seem tired to some but exudes a certain small-town charm for those who know what they’re looking for—a place where regulars gather after work, and staff call you by name if you come back more than twice. The fairways wind through dense stands of mature trees, demanding accuracy over brute strength. Water hazards on almost every hole of the back nine keep things interesting, especially when the late afternoon sun starts glinting off their surfaces. The greens are often highlighted as the standout feature here: surprisingly well-kept for a course with such modest rates. In spring and after heavy rain, the back nine can get boggy—part and parcel of rural Midwest golf—but even then, maintenance crews hustle to keep things playable. On Fridays, locals pack the clubhouse for an old-school Wisconsin fish fry; it’s the kind of tradition that binds this place to its community roots. There’s a beverage cart weaving between foursomes on weekends, making sure nobody goes thirsty before or after their tee shot on 17. Countryside is less about luxury and more about camaraderie: a spot where league regulars, retirees, and newcomers rub elbows at the bar or swap stories while waiting for slow groups ahead. It isn’t aiming to impress out-of-towners with grand amenities—instead it serves as a social anchor for Kaukauna’s golfers and families, preserving Midwestern golf rituals while letting each generation leave its mark in divots and laughter.
