"I recently played golf at one of the finest courses in our area, Bulls Eye Country Club. Bulls Eye CC was build nearly 100 years ago and the fairways were cut out of the towering pine forest beside the Wisconsin River. The tree lined fairways, well manicured greens and sand bunkers make for a challenging day of golf." ~ @paradise-found

History of Bulls Eye Country Club
Many people have asked “where did Bulls Eye get its name?” Numerous stories and guesses have circulated over the years, but the true story dates back to when logging was prominent on the Wisconsin River. The site that the clubhouse sits on is known as the Bulls Eye Bend. Loggers would run logs down the river, day and night, to the sawmills. Once dark, the loggers would set a small lantern on the shore of the Bulls Eye Bend in order to have a place to aim the logs. If their aim was correct, the current of the water would naturally turn the logs past the bend and down the river. The loggers would call this action a “Bulls Eye”, thus the name Bulls Eye Country Club. Info source
History of logging in Wisconsin
According to the 1890 U.S. census, more than 23,000 men worked in Wisconsin's logging industry and another 32,000 worked at the sawmills that turned timber into boards. Each winter, the lumberjacks occupied nearly 450 logging camps. In the spring, they drove their timber downstream to more than 1,000 mills. Logging and lumbering employed a quarter of all Wisconsinites working in the 1890s. Info source
