Located just northwest of downtown Milwaukee, Washington County Golf Club (formerly known as Family Park Golf Course) feels much further thanks to its seclusion in the beautiful Kettle Moraine area. Arthur Hills designed the course, which is ranked second in the nation among municipal golf course in Golf Digest. The layout sprawls across wide-open, gently rolling terrain. The subtle contours of the landscape provide a few difficult lies and they can also make the greens hard to read but overall it is a course that most players can approach with confidence. Thanks to a versatile layout it appeals to a wide range of skill levels and it is an ideal spot for tournaments and events. Over the years Washington County Golf Club has hosted several championships including the U.S. Open Qualifying Round and the Wisconsin PGA Championship.

I’ve been playing this golf course since it’s been open and trust me on this it’s in the best shape I’ve ever seen It since it’s been open. If you get a chance before the snow flies get your clubs and get on out there you won’t be disappointed.

beautiful fall day

gorgeous fall day in the mid 60''s and sunny. with a nice breeze, it made the course a lot of fun. got paired up with two young guys from Milwaukee that bombed their drives 300 yards. I popped in a few long putts on greens that ran true. A very nice afternoon!

#1 Muni course in Wisconsin? I agree.

Definitely lived up to its reputation. Washington County is >7000 yds from the tips, but it's pretty wide-open, so swinging away with driver is an absolute blast. The greens were larger and more undulating than I'm accustomed to which made for a fun challenge as well. Each hole was unique and entertaining to play. The grass was in good shape. I would definitely recommend if you can find a Hot Deal.

Excellent golf course and very affordable.

Same ground as Erin Hills but with more history,very affordable, and you can walk or ride... no caddy necessary. Greens were smooth and fast, despite being disrespected by public course golfers. Many tee options, but they should have a gold/white combo option.

Hot and windy round-perfect links weather

A very warm day on the links when the ball flew well and wind was a big factor. Joined up with a father and son and had a very enjoyable round finally playing well after a bit of a slump!

Why do you always show tee times for this place for $28 but there are never any tee times?
