Holes 18
Type Public
Par 72
Length 6440 yards
Slope 120
Rating 70.5

Kettle Moraine Golf Club is routed across a diverse landscape of wooded hills and wetlands, offering the ideal setting for parkland golf. The layout is on the shorter side at just over 6,400 yards but it calls for a variety of shots that will ensure golfers stay on their toes. The terrain provides a variety of elevation changes that range from subtle to dramatic. The undulations lend a different character to each hole and there are several interesting risk-reward opportunities available, which means golfers will have to employ a unique strategy for every hole. The front nine starts out gently but the golf course gets progressively more challenging as you move towards the back nine. Kettle Moraine G.C. has been a favorite of the Milwaukee area since it opened in the late 60s.

An Excellent Experience

The course was in fantastic shape. Our pace was above average since there were few groups out even for a Sunday. Largest Bloody Mary we've ever had!

VERY EASY COURSE BUT FUN.

Played during packers game. Played from the blues not hard. Front 9 wide open straight and flat.But the back gets u excited some what. Tight fairways and ending with with a funnel par 3 18th with some distance. Fairways cut well and in good shape. Greens u could stick the pins. Pretty course. Like the giant willow on 5. It was fun for the golf now price. I wouldn't pay the course price .

this course was over booked

There is a lack of communication between staff. The starter was rude. The course was so over booked and stacked that we would wait on average 5 minutes a hole before we could tee off.

Bad day at Kettle Moraine

This was an absolute fiasco, there was a five some two groups in front of us. They slowed play substantially. They quit after the ninth hole. Two groups in front of us on the back nine were very drunk and slow. I went to the pro shop to complain and it was closed at 6:00, unheard of on a nice evening. People were starting on any nine they wanted and cutting in front of groups completing the first nine. No marshals, we quit after a couple holes on the back after paying an eighteen hole rate. Clearly Kettle Moraine Golf Club doesn't care about their patrons.

Back nine

Wasn't thrilled with the back 9. Was in a cart and while driving on the fairway and off, it was very rutty, difficult to ride over. Hard to find a smooth place to drive over.

Kettle M

I was late :( 1 min .
And they where packed . They still managed to still fit me in . The course was absolutly perfect even at 7 am tee time . Every holes character ,made it exciting to see ur next challenge . Staff was very morning friendly . And the 17 th hole has a house selling 50cent name brand golf balls . All in all I was pleased to say I rubbed it in on what a good time I had with my friends . If u have a chance , check this place out .

Good course

Great day and golf. Course was in great shape, but the course committed one of my pet peeves - they sent 9 hole groups off the back as we were making the turn. Not only that, but three 4-some were on the 10th tee as we made the turn. Fortunately - one of the golfers knew it was our tee box, especially because there was no starter anywhere.

Slow Course

Kettle Moraine had a very slow pace of play. No ranger to keep things moving smoothly so we had to skip some holes just to make it through the round. Other than that the course was nice. Slow greens but nothing to complain about.

Course is in nice shape. If people would fix their ball marks the greens would be in nicer shape. Some tough pin placements.

Great course for the price.

Played 18 with cart for 16$ a piece...are you kidding me? Golf now made a highly undervalued course even more so. I will definitely play here again!

Nice course

It was my first time here, played with a foursome. Course was very well maintain, it was very humid that day I was glad to see they had two cart girls out with beverages. Paid I believe $35 for 18 and a cart which I thought was great. Will be back again.

this course is in great shape.

Played in early afternoon on a Saturday. Took about 4 1/2 hrs to play . Played with my wife & another couple wasn't pushed nor did we hold up play. Course was in very good condition but be careful around the greens as the rough is thick!!! Staff was great, friendly & helpful!! Would go back in a heartbeat!! Watch for special pricing or free hotdog & drink with 18 holes & cart as it makes it even better!!!

Great conditions, poor pin placements

The course condition could not have been any better however, there were pin placements that were next to impossible to get close & to putt to. I had an 8 footer on a par 3 on the front nine. It was a side hill putt that I had to "die" into the hole. I hit the putt and it almost stopped 3 inches from the hole & it proceeded to roll off the green. There were several other pins that were right in front or all the way back. The golf course management has to realize that pin placements are just as important as the course condition itself. It not only effects the enjoyment of the course for the players but it slows down the pace of play which is bad for everyone involved. Again, the fairways & greens were all you could ask for in a course.

They're doing something right this year

Not sure if it's from the weather or if they have changed something in the way they are up-keeping the course, but this year this course is in the best shape I've ever seen. The teeboxes were for the most part flat and the greens were amazing. (I judge a course mainly on teeboxes and greens). The layout is pretty fun even though most fairways are next to other fairways... it's not back-and-forth, though, as you play one fairway between a couple others, but then shoot over to another area of the course to play the next hole. Plenty of woods, water, and elevation to keep it very entertaining.
