What You Need To Know About The Bull Golf Course

By Brian Weis

Whether you have played a course 20+ times a year or looking to play the course for the first time, insights from an insider can help enhance your golf experience. Below is an interview with SCOTT EVANS who shares some valuable tidbits about the course, memorable holes and must eats and treats at the 19th.

Give Our Readers An Overview of the Golf Course/Property
The Bull is a Jack Nicklaus Signature Design that will provide a very challenging, enjoyable, and scenic golf experience.

If Someone Was Looking To Golf In The Area, Why Should They Play Your Course?
It is a very challenging and fair golf course that will keep you coming back. The natural beauty of the course is spectacular.

What Tips or Local Knowledge Would You Provide To Help Them Score Better At Your Course?
Be careful with shots coming into the green, going at the flag is not always the best choice. The middle of the green is very often a great place to be.

Recent Awards or What You Are Most Proud About The Course?
The Bull is ranked #70 on Golf Digest's List of "America's 100 Greatest Public Golf Courses".

What Is The Signature, Most Talked About, or Most Photographed Hole?
Although we have many choices for this I have to say that #7 gets the most attention. The view from the tee is really spectacular, and this par 4 is only 321 yards from the back tee. This hole proves that short yardage does not mean easy birdie opportunity.

What Is Your Favorite Hole? Any Tips to Play It?
Again a tough choice but I have to go with #7, standing on that tee is my favorite spot
on the course.

I have always loved short holes that make you think, and this is one of the best anywhere. Leave the driver in the bag and try and leave yourself between 80 and 100 yards from the green. You can leave this green with a birdie, or with fewer golf balls in your bag. Be smart with the tee shot.

Must Have Dish or Drink after the round at the 19th Hole?
The Bull Burger is something special if you like burgers, and don't forget the fries, they are outstanding. Only fry I've ever had that can be enjoyed without ketchup. On Friday's you don't want to miss the Fish Fry.

About: Brian Weis

Brian Weis is the mastermind behind GolfTrips.com, a vast network of golf travel and directory sites covering everything from the rolling fairways of Wisconsin to the sunbaked desert layouts of Arizona. If there’s a golf destination worth visiting, chances are, Brian has written about it, played it, or at the very least, found a way to justify a "business trip" there.

As a card-carrying member of the Golf Writers Association of America (GWAA), International Network of Golf (ING), Golf Travel Writers of America (GTWA), International Golf Travel Writers Association (IGTWA), and The Society of Hickory Golfers (SoHG), Brian has the credentials to prove that talking about golf is his full-time job. In 2016, his peers even handed him The Shaheen Cup, a prestigious award in golf travel writing—essentially the Masters green jacket for guys who don’t hit the range but still know where the best 19th holes are.

Brian’s love for golf goes way back. As a kid, he competed in junior and high school golf, only to realize that his dreams of a college golf scholarship had about the same odds as a 30-handicap making a hole-in-one. Instead, he took the more practical route—working on the West Bend Country Club grounds crew to fund his University of Wisconsin education. Little did he know that mowing greens and fixing divots would one day lead to a career writing about the best courses on the planet.

In 2004, Brian turned his golf passion into a business, launching GolfWisconsin.com. Three years later, he expanded his vision, and GolfTrips.com was born—a one-stop shop for golf travel junkies looking for their next tee time. Today, his empire spans all 50 states, and 20+ international destinations.

On the course, Brian is a weekend warrior who oscillates between a 5 and 9 handicap, depending on how much he's been traveling (or how generous he’s feeling with his scorecard). His signature move" A high, soft fade that his playing partners affectionately (or not-so-affectionately) call "The Weis Slice." But when he catches one clean, his 300+ yard drives remind everyone that while he may write about golf for a living, he can still send a ball into the next zip code with the best of them.

Whether he’s hunting down the best public courses, digging up hidden gems, or simply outdriving his buddies, Brian Weis is living proof that golf is more than a game—it’s a way of life.
