Washington County Golf Course
About
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.

fair challenge
washington county golf course gets rave reviews and rightly so, however as with most nice courses, there should be some caveats. first off, the course was in great condition, clean fairways, true rolling greens, not too fast nor slow. there should be a ranger or 2 as this course is busy and rightly so. some of the tee to greens are in close quarters so 1 of 2 issues-stray shots and people picking up "seemingly lost balls" we had 2 occasions we knew where our ball SHOULD have been, but...then you see players from other holes scattering away as we approached. as we had a stray shot as many do, find the fairway of an opposing hole, only to find a group setting up their shots-oh were you hitting the callaway with green soccer balls as he pulls it out of his pocket... hmmmmm. maybe if we use topflight or wilson staff, this wouldn't happen as often. also, does one have to remind players to fix their ball marks and divots?? these all should be common golf etiquette 101...all in all however, this is a really nice track
Great time...as always
Love playing this course. Can always count on great conditions and relaxing environment afterwards. Look forward to returning soon.
Beautiful Course
This is an outstanding public course. The layout is fun, yet challenging. Beautiful scenery
Link’s style
Course was in great shape, very nice range and chipping area also. It’s a county owned course that’s well maintained. Highly recommend.
WCG
Washington County is a favorite course of mine. I wish it was one set fee for everyone. I realize it’s a county course but I believe the Milwaukee County courses now allow people from outside the county to purchase a discount card and I wish Washington County would do the same. It’s just very expensive for people outside of the county.
Great Muni Track!
Course was in great shape for early June. Fairways were perfect, pace was great for a Sunday (Sub 4 hr), and layout is fun. Greens were in pretty good shape, but seems like people don’t fix their pitch marks very well. Had to fix quite a few in my line. Overall, great value.
Wonderful course
Washington County was a terrific course. Great condition, very challenging and overall worth checking out. Up in the area for a trip and glad we decided to book a round here
Awesome
Great links layout, great amenities and carts, fast but receptive greens, will definitely be coming back. A+
2025 Women’s U.S. Open trip
The course is amazing. Prepare for wind. Best if you play with a local golfer. But if you can’t, look down the fairway and believe there’s some fairway slope. Play more slope than you think. On greens, the breaks are easily overread.
Always a good time.
Tenth time to WCGC and I always have a good experience. Some tough holes along with great conditions.
Can I give it 6 stars?
Beautiful and well maintained worth the drive of 45 minutes.
Great day
Course was in great shape and the pace of play was perfect.
Not Up to Usual Standard - Not worth 90$
Today was not nearly as impressive as far as course condition compared to previous times I've been here. Carts are really nice and new and updated, Clubhouse is great. Tee boxes are solid. Greens were ok but some were much slower and damaged and not as nice as they have been in the past. This would be okay but I've also noticed they've increased the prices recently To 90$. This course is nice but $90 is wild to me. I think if you can get on for $50-70 its a wonderful course.
Eh
Ended up walking because it rained a lot and was cart path only, wish I could get refund for the difference
