River Run Golf Course
About River Run Golf Course
River Run Golf Course is a municipal course in Sparta, in west-central Wisconsin, a couple of miles from Interstate 90. Formerly called Sparta Municipal Golf Course, it was expanded to 18 holes in 1982 and has matured in the decades since.
The front nine plays along Perch Lake, while the back nine winds through cuts in established stands of pine. Large bent grass greens are found throughout the layout. Four sets of tees on each hole stretch the course from 6,622 yards at the championship markers to 5,473 yards from the forward tees, accommodating a range of playing abilities.
Practice facilities include an on-site driving range with five practice tees.
