River Run Golf Course sits on the western edge of Sparta, Wisconsin, where the terrain transitions from flat river bottom to gently rolling uplands. The layout follows the natural drainage of the La Crosse River, with several fairways crossing or running alongside small tributaries that feed into the main channel. Early holes play across open ground that was once pasture, while later holes move into stands of oak and maple where the ground rises. Sand bunkers are placed primarily to guard low-lying greens that collect runoff, and a few holes feature waste areas of native fescue instead of traditional rough. The course maintains bentgrass tees and greens, with Kentucky bluegrass and perennial rye fairways that are mowed at varying heights to create distinct playing corridors. Water hazards appear on roughly a third of the holes, most often as small ponds or drainage swales rather than large lakes. Cart paths are asphalt and follow the perimeter of most holes, keeping maintenance vehicles off the primary playing surfaces.
