Our Story
The Crew & The Craft
Get ready to swing into action with our weekly golf leagues at our picturesque 9-hole public golf course in wisconsin! With three sets of tees, a fully stocked golf shop, cozy bar, and a full-length practice range, our facility is designed to offer a complete golfing experience.
The Architects
Lee Johnson & Rita Hong
The high-quality turf and modern 1990s layout golfers love at Sioux Creek are the result of the tireless work of Lee Johnson and Rita Hong. They didn’t just build a golf course; they designed and meticulously maintained a property that sets the standard for 9-hole golf in Wisconsin. We are proud to be the stewards of the beautiful “bones” they left behind.
The Foundation
Bruce, Brad, & Marlo
In 2019, the course reached a critical turning point. To ensure the property remained a community landmark, Bruce Halvorson partnered with Brad and Marlo Stevens to purchase the course. We want to thank Brad and Marlo for their belief in the vision; their support as the original partners was the catalyst that allowed Bruce to begin the work of stabilizing and revitalizing the Creek.

A Natural Evolution
As we head into the 2026 season, the course has never been stronger. With Brad and Marlo ready to pursue new adventures, the transition to the current leadership team was a natural and amicable next step. This evolution has allowed Bruce to bring in a new generation of owners—Tasha, Tyler, and Andy—to lead the course into its most exciting chapter yet.
