History

Six decades later, on July 20th, 1983, an early morning fire destroyed the entire wood structure clubhouse. Makeshift facilities were set up in two mobile trailers to accommodate members. In October of 1983 ground was broken for a new clubhouse and construction was completed in May of 1984.

The present-day clubhouse can accommodate groups up to 240 guests for various banquets and special functions. A new dining room addition was dedicated on June 13th, 1990, made possible through the generosity of Emily Bell. The additional dining room is known as the “Emily Room.”

Many people have asked “where did Bullseye 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 Bullseye 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 Bullseye 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 “Bullseye”, thus the name Bullseye Golf Club.
