Bayfield is a small, tight-knit community. And that sense of connection is something we truly value. As parents of Axel and Ridge, Isaac and I (Mollie) have witnessed the power of community firsthand.

And it’s why we’re SO excited to be part of the Ambleside School of Ashland 4-person Scramble Golf Fundraiser at Apostle Highlands Golf Course in Bayfield, Wisconsin.

The fundraiser promises a day full of fun, community, and giving back. This event means a lot to us, and we invite you to join us in supporting a cause near and dear to our hearts. Whether you’re an avid golfer or just looking for a fun way to spend the day, this tournament offers something special for everyone.

Plus, Apostle Highlands Golf Course offers a stunning backdrop as you tee off, with sweeping views of Lake Superior, Chequamegon Bay, and the islands. You don’t want to miss this event!

Apostle Highlands Golf Course in Bayfield, Wisconsin: A Golfer’s Paradise 

Apostle Highlands Golf Course is truly one of Bayfield’s crown jewels, offering stunning panoramic views that are worth the trip alone. 

Sitting about 500 feet above our quaint town, this 18-hole, par 72 course spans 250 acres of prime Bayfield real estate and is an absolute must-see. 

Apostle Highlands is a public golf course offering a challenge for golfers of all levels with three sets of tees ranging from 5,127 to 6,332 yards. The rolling terrain, tree-lined fairways, and greens will keep you on your toes, while water hazards on eight holes, including a pond shaped like Lake Superior, make for a thrilling game. 

But what really sets this course apart is its breathtaking views.

Picture teeing off with Lake Superior, Madeline Island, and Long Island as your backdrop. The landscape is a golfer’s dream, with the fresh air, chirping birds, and rustling leaves making it feel like you’re playing on top of the world.

Whether you’re playing all 18 holes or just hitting the driving range, the full-service clubhouse and patio are great places to relax and relive your best shots. 

Apostle Highlands is as much about enjoying the landscape as it is about playing the game. After all, when you’re in such a beautiful location, you’ll find yourself stopping to take in the view just as much as focusing on your swing–making it the perfect setting for the Ambleside School of Ashland Golf Fundraiser.

Ambleside School of Ashland: Where Meaningful Connections Happen

To us, Ambleside is more than just a school. It’s a place where our boys have thrived—where not only their minds are nurtured, but their hearts too. 

Outside of their regular lessons, our boys have been involved in patriotic Veterans Day programs, working hard to create art, and learning a maypole dance for the upcoming Shakespeare Festival in May. They’re even learning Spanish!

Ambleside goes beyond creating a traditional learning environment. They focus on the whole child. The curriculum is designed to develop the intellectual, moral, and emotional growth of a child while fostering an authentic love of learning. 

We are incredibly grateful for the positive impact it has had on our family and the community, which is why we’re so passionate about supporting the school and its incredible mission through this golf tournament.
