| Milwaukee County Parks - Golf Courses |
| Milwaukee County has a world-class Park System. 16 of those parks are home to some of the most challenging and enjoyable golf courses in the area. These golf courses range from the pro course of Brown Deer Park to a course, designed for the beginner. Some of the parks, such as Dretzka and Oakwood, also have driving ranges. Grant Park has a new practice sand bunker. There are Discount Cards available for course fees. It is wise to make tee-time reservations or check on the course by calling ahead. On this list you will find out about the County courses, their fees, length, par and a small description of the course. These courses are well maintained by the park system and provide us with many opportunities for golf outings that are inexpensive and fun. Some of the courses have electric carts for rent, and if you didn't bring your clubs you can rent them from the clubhouse. |
