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.

Great course!
Great coures! Very open. Great value! With as windy as it was felt like playing a real Scottish course.
Best public course in greater milwaukee area
Any hot deals here are snapped up and righfully so. Great course
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.
Washington County Golf Course
Course in good shape overall. Greens were fast but a bit small on some holes. Enjoyed the links style.
Cold and rain
A real nice course. Weather was awful. Cold and drizzle. Couldn't cancel as it was pre-payed.
fun challenging links style couirse if thereis a wind it will be there,
beautiful course great shape, fast true greens fun challenging links style course always wind if there is any great course golf now hot deals make it worth while other wise pricey
Washington Cnty.
Course was in tip top shape for mid October. Pins were tucked from a Pro-Am the previous day. Fun course, great value!
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.
Enjoyed our round
It is always a challenge to play this course, it seems the wind is always blowing. This course is always in good condition and a pleasure to play.
Fun course if you stay in the fairways!
Excellent practice area. Greens were perfect. Bent
grass fairways are excellent.
Great course
Nice conditions, great pace. Great value through Golfnow.
great fun
enjoyable setting with many challenging holes, even from the white tees. great practice area
Can't beat it for a county course!
The course was in great shape. You will need a GPS and/or range finder because there are not enough yardage markers and the carts do not have it.
Excellent condition. Great turrain.
Excellent layout. Pristine condition. Very challenging. Love it every time I play it.
ENJOYABLE AS ALWAYS AT WCGC
JUST A PLEASURE TO PLAY HERE ALWAYS AND LOVE THE HOLE LAYOUTS. IF YOU PLAY HERE MORE OFTEN ROTATE YOUR TEE BOXES FOR THE HOLES CHANGE DRAMATICALLY IF YOU DO SO.
What a fun round...
This was the first time I played the course, and found it both beautiful and challenging. I teed of at 4:00 hoping to get in 15 holes or so. I linked up with another solo golfer and was able to finish in just under 3 hours and was home well before dark. I have played maybe 15 different courses this year and this course was by far in the best condition. I will be back to play again soon.
