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.

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.

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.

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.

Great course, early season conditions a bit week

I do enjoy the course, however, conditions were not great, especially in terms of the greens, which were quite chewed up. I’m inclined to cut some slack given that it’s only mid May.

Preparing for US Women’s Open

Walked the course and carried my bag. Always windy. It appears to be very similar to Erin Hills where 2025 US Women’s Open is being held in two weeks. The greens are speedy but true. Don’t overplay the breaks. Local knowledge is beneficial. Was fortunate to golf with two locals who shared their experiences. Reported to be number one municipal course in Wisconsin. Can’t deny that it’s challenging but also an enjoyable experience!

Beautiful challenge

Love hilly rolling interesting courses and that's what this is. Recommended by many friends over the years but never got there till now. Visually tricky to judge first time playing (where to aim with your driver). Will play here again! Highly recommend but don't go and make it too popular.
