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.

This is one of my favorite courses and don't mind driving the half hour from Milwaukee. I already know I will be going back to play it again and again. This course is actually in my Top Ten list.

Nice open landscape

Nice course. Seems wide open but the long grass keeps you honest. Challenging enough for the experienced player but very playable for less experienced players.

One of the best public courses in SE Wisconsin

Always a joy to play this course, well maintained, and quite challenging, but fair to all skill levels. Can be difficult when the wind blows even a tad, elevation makes the wind feel at least 10 MPH faster than what it may be.

Great course

WCGC is a wonderful golf course. It is in great shape. The greens and fairways are top notch. It provides a nice variety of holes and is challenging while still being playable. Love it.

This is the best public access course in SE Wisconsin.

The weather was the only ? in otherwise tremendous golf experience. The course is in perfect condition. Greens that should have been very soggy putted fast and true. Fairways, tee boxes, and just about every aspect was impeccable. Because of impending rain, we had the golf course to ourselves.
This course is usually a little pricey for me on a regular basis. With GolfNow vaues added it is also affordable. This course has probablly the best set of par 3's I have ever played. 4 tee boxes make it playable for absolutely every level of golfer. Signature hole par 5 #7 is a beast from any tee box. From the tips this is as tough a course as you can play.
I can't say enough good things about the experience.

Very well maintained with great pace of play

Course is in excellent condition. Pace of play was steady which is nice in comparison to the turtle pace of some courses around Milwaukee. The course is challenging, yet very playable. Used golfnow.com deal, 18 w/ a cart for $45 which is an excellent value for the money.

Would recommend this course.
