Butte des Morts is a Spikeless Facility

The benefits of having a "spikeless" golf course are many. The most noticeable benefit is the condition of the putting greens, but less wear and tear on Golf carts, cart paths, bridges, parking lots and carpeting are also evident. It is for these reasons that Butte des Morts has converted to a spikeless facility.

If you desire to have your metal spikes changed to soft spikes, please plan on arriving at least an hour prior to your starting time to allow our staff enough time to make the change. There is a nominal fee for this service. Thank you for your cooperation and we are sure you will notice the differences during your round.

Course History

Old Clubhouse Circa 1965

Once the farmland acreage of the late Frank Hammes and Peter Fleming, Butte des Morts has developed over the years into one of the finest clubs in the state of Wisconsin. In 1923, a group of local citizens sensed a need for another golf club in the Appleton area. By 1924 the land had been purchased, the famed golf architect, W. C. Jackson of Chicago contracted, and the labor pains of Butte des Morts Golf Club began. The early work on the golf course, such as tree removal and landscaping, was all done by horses and hands. By late spring of 1924, Butte des Morts' longtime greenskeeper, Jack Taylor, had spread the first grass seed. Over the years, Butte des Morts flourished and grew, even surviving the Great Depression. We are proud of our strong and diverse membership. Butte des Morts has been truly a vital part of our Members' lives.
