Best Golf Course

FOOORREEE! For all you golfers out there, the Chippewa Valley is home to quite a few options to get out on the green — though voters name Hickory Hills Golf Course’s (E4080 Hickory Rd., Eau Claire) 18-hole, 100-acre area is their top choice. Runner-up Princeton Valley Golf Course (2300 W. Princeton Ave., Eau Claire) offers a medium-length layout with 9 holes, meant to balance challenge with genuine fun (folks also swing by just for a bite — the food’s that good). Wild Ridge Golf Course (3647 Kane Rd., Eau Claire) boasts show-stopping views — and for golfers, 18 holes with great course conditions and dramatic elevation changes. —McKenna Scherer
