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.

A must play in the MKE Metro

Played this course for the first time and was thrilled at the conditions and layout of the course. Got a great deal from Golfnow and will be back as soon as I can.

Great course

Have played here about 10 times over the past few years

Great value

Fair and challenging layout

Greens rolled true at a good speed

Bunkers were good ( only in 1)

Tee boxes mostly level and in good condition

Played in exactly 4:00 hours (foursome)

Staff was helpful

Only issue , nothing to do with the course is the golfers!

Nobody here fixes their hallmarks on the green

I could have fixed 5/6 in my sight every green

This is a problem at most golf courses not only here

Nice course, fair price , good test

Give it a try

Washington County is the greatest value for a course of this caliber. Conditions, servIce and amenities are private course competitive. It will challenge the most seasoned players and still be cost-worthy to newer players.

Disappointed

The day was brutally hot, and somehow a fivesome was allowed to go out in front of us. We waited on every shot virtually. I don’t understand why there was no Marshall on the course.

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

Course was in great shape, very nice range and chipping area also. It’s a county owned course that’s well maintained. Highly recommend.

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.
