I’m looking for recommendations on the best public golf courses in the Milwaukee area. Whether you’re a local or have just visited, I’d love to hear about your experiences!

Here are a few points to consider:

  • Course Quality: Which courses do you think offer the best conditions?
  • Affordability: Are there any hidden gems that won’t break the bank?
  • Amenities: Do any of the courses have additional features like driving ranges, clubhouses, or restaurant facilities?

If you have personal favorites or any rankings you’ve come across, please share them! I’m eager to plan some rounds and appreciate any insights you can offer.

If you’re looking for top-rated public courses in Milwaukee, I highly recommend Brown Deer Park Golf Course. The fairways are well-maintained, and the staff is friendly. It’s a great experience overall!

I’ve heard great things about that course! I’ve played at Dretzka Park Golf Course and loved the layout. The conditions were fantastic too!

I’ve played at both Brown Deer and Dretzka. Personally, I found Dretzka to be a hidden gem. The scenery is beautiful, and it’s often less crowded than Brown Deer.

Have you guys checked out South Shore? The course conditions are decent, and the views are stunning, especially at sunset! Perfect for a relaxed round with friends.

Absolutely! South Shore has a great vibe. They even have a nice snack shack by the 9th hole for a quick bite!

I’ve found that the facilities at these courses really vary. Brown Deer has a nice pro shop, but I’ve seen some issues at South Shore in the restrooms. Still, it’s one of my favorite spots!

I’ve played at a lot of courses, and yes, the restrooms can be a dealbreaker! But if you want a challenge, check out the Milwaukee County courses. A bit rustic, but great value!

I completely agree! They offer fantastic pricing for the quality of play you get. Especially if you go during non-peak hours.

I must say… if you’re expecting impeccable conditions, you may be disappointed with some of the older courses, but they do add character! Anyone tried the golf lessons at Whitnall Park?

Whitnall Park has a laid-back atmosphere, and the golf lessons are reasonably priced! I appreciate that they focus on beginners. Helps to keep the game growing.

That sounds great for new players! I remember learning the basics at a nearby course. Patience is key, right? Or perhaps just a sense of humor!

Haha, yes! I often joke that my score proves I need more humor than talent! But really, each course has its charm. What’s everyone’s favorite hole?

14

My favorite is definitely hole 12 at Brown Deer! The water hazard adds that extra thrill, though I often end up splashing my ball!

I enjoy the scenic views on hole 8 at Dretzka! Gorgeous trees, and it feels like you’re playing in nature. Let’s hope they keep maintaining the course like that!

Interesting choice! I’ve never thought of that one. Maybe I should give it another shot this weekend!
