Open since September 1st, 2000, the Arguement Golf Course is set in some of Wisconsin's most pristine countryside... Argue-ment Golf Course is built as a golf only facility with the intent of providing a high value golf experience at an affordable price.  The course challenges the good golfer while still affording a reasonable opportunity to play for beginners. Our forward tee placements are built, per the recommendations of Alice Dye, to properly accommodate the average woman or senior golfer. Children are always welcome, as are ride alongs and walk alongs. We do not charge for non golfing riders or walkers. (Sooner or later they will be bitten by the bug and then we have them!)

Golf should be a lifelong challenge of a walk through an attractive, natural landscape, and not a giggling drive through an over designed and manicured, artificial grass nursery...Golf should not be fair, should test character as well as skill, and continue to put all the responsibility of play on the shoulders of the golfer. (From Keepers of the Game, as quoted in Golf magazine.)

Golf, in America, is too expensive. We ought to be making golf more affordable and mobilizing to bring as many different types of people as possible into the game not making it even more of a rich man¹s private game. Golf is the most democratic game on this earth. And something very precious will be lost if the day comes when it¹s no longer so.

We operate with the philosophy that a golf course should drape on the natural landscape the way a favorite golf sweater drapes on the shoulders. Our club house is basic, without bar or grill, but with indoor plumbing! Snacks foods are available, as are soft drinks. You are welcome to bring your own food and beverage. (Adult beverages require adult behavior.) We have a picnic area for your private or group use. Gas carts are available (the course is readily walkable) as are rental clubs. A grass tee practice range and a large practice green are adjacent to the #1 teeing area. Group outings at a discounted price are possible Monday through Thursday, full price Friday through Sunday. Shotgun starts are only available to groups Monday through Thursday.Our course is not the typical North American park style course. We follow a more European vision of minimal irrigation, naturalized "waste areas" and small greens...less is more. The course changes with the season, forcing the golfer to adapt.  The track is "home-made" construction undertaken by the owners and designers, all four of them, and extended family,  when available. 

We minimize all forms of pesticide and herbicide to enable as many people as possible to enjoy the course without fear of risk. We do treat the bent grass greens for snow molds in late fall after closing. Currently, the course is nine holes, with unused portions of the property still farmed in a corn/soybean rotation.  There is room for 18. We are wrestling with the notion of expansion, i.e. can it be done without violating the core simplicity of what we are attempting to accomplish?  While the course topography is typical of the New Glarus area, all areas of the course are fully accessible to single rider carts. We have at least one single rider cart normally available for rental and will allow golfers who have specialized adaptive equipment of their own to operate it throughout the course.
