An Interview With Jim Tracy, Owner

By Brian Weis

The ultimate golf vacation is staying and playing at a golf resort. Below is an interview with Jim Tracy who shares some valuable information about staying and golfing at Fairfield Hills Golf Course & Range.

Give our readers an overview of the golf resort.
Fairfield Hills Golf Course is a beautiful 9-hole golf course and practice range located in Baraboo, just minutes from the Wisconsin Dells. The course was designed with families in mind. Our 9-hole course is not too difficult for beginners and kids, but challenging enough for more experienced golfers. Most people can play our 1900 yard par 30 course in less than two hours. We offer golfers the area's largest and longest practice range with 34+ stations and 340 yards.

Share with us your room accommodations configurations. What group sizes can accommodate?
Fairfield Hills Golf Course & Range is located next door to Fox Hill RV Park & Campground. Both facilities are owned by the same family, and many Fox Hill guests play the 9-hole course and work on their swing on the practice range. Fox Hill offers many camping options including:

-Beautiful log cabins with AC, kitchenette, and bathroom. Cabins sleep up to six people
-Rustic sleeping cabins with AC, refrigerator and an outside barbecue grill
-Convenient full hook-up (W/E/S) pull-thru RV sites designed to accommodate even the largest RVs and camping units with 20/30/50 amp service.
-Spacious wooded campsites ideal for pop-up campers and tents

Beyond golf what are the top three amenities golfers and non-golfers can enjoy on property?
Guests staying at Fox Hill enjoy the large heated swimming pool, disc golf course and wide variety of campground activities including pedal carts, playground, gagaball, volleyball, giant chess and checkers, hayrides and weekend crafts.

What area tourist attractions might you recommend while in the area?
Fairfield Hills is located just minutes from all the fun and excitement the Wisconsin Dells, and the nature beauty of Devil's Lake and Mirror Lake State Parks. Ho-Chunk Casino is also located less than a mile down the road. One of the things golfers enjoy about Fairfield Hills is that the course can be played in about 2 hours so there still plenty of time to explore all the area attractions in the "Water Park Capital of the World."

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.
