Par 72
Length 7048 yards
Slope 134
Rating 73.6

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.

No roll out

Wet conditions with only a couple holes, cart path only. Modern course drains well. Head pro offered apology and rerouting for slow play ahead after splitting up an unscheduled 5 some. Generously offered a restart even after 5 played holes. Great underrated venue given exceptional practice facility. Also love plastic hole insert cups flush to greens. Would play more at the $40 rate. County residents marginal savings over public rate - needs tweaking.

Beauty in Washinton County

I remember the discussions on building this course. It is well worth golfing. One of the nicest courses in surrounding area. Great small 3-hole course for practice/teaching kids. And the course itself varies. High up, so water problems are minimal if at all. It is always guaranteed good golf day when playing Washington County.

Nice layout, plenty of challenges. Senior tee's appropriately spaced.

I'm a 73 year old 13 handicap. I found the course challenging and fair. I'll definitely be back.

Great links style course!!

This is a fantastic links style golf course. Very difficult so not for beginners in my opinion. Course was in nice shape just a little wet due to all the rain recently. Greens are always in great shape.
