Fifteen holes. Not a typo. Wild Ridge built a full 18 layout but only maintains 15, which creates one of Wisconsin's stranger walking experiences. The routing works, though it demands attention since you're essentially playing a course with three ghost holes scattered throughout. Terrain rolls gently through former farmland with enough variety to keep legs interested without punishing them. Eau Claire doesn't get much attention from traveling golfers, but locals know Wild Ridge delivers honest golf at honest prices. The 15-hole format actually speeds up play considerably. Walk it in under three hours on a quiet afternoon.
