Another good option is the Milwaukee County courses. They frequently run promotions during the off-peak season.

I found that Riverside Park has a great first-time golfer deal! You might want to check it out!

23

Are there specific courses you recommend within that system?

Definitely try Oakwood as well; it has beautiful scenery and competitive pricing. Perfect for a weekend game.

25

Plus, Oakwood sometimes has twilight rates that are really worth it! Always a nice finish to the day.

Twilight rates? Are they really cheaper or is that just a marketing gimmick?

27

No gimmick! They are typically much lower, especially after 5 PM. Just make sure to call ahead!

One time I played and got stuck behind a four-person slow group—they must have been enjoying the twilight too much! Haha!

Haha, yes! That can happen. Definitely keep an eye on the tee time bookings to avoid the delays.

I’ve also found that many courses let you play for free on your birthday. Just present ID, and you’re good to go!

Awesome tip! I hope I remember that when my birthday rolls around!

32

Don’t forget to look for coupons in local magazines or online! I’ve scored some sweet deals that way.

33

Good point! Online searches for ‘Milwaukee golf discounts’ have helped me find great summer deals as well.

Milwaukee has some great public courses! For beginners, I recommend Whitnall Park Golf Course. It’s very forgiving and has some nice practice areas.

35

I’ve played Whitnall a few times! The staff is super friendly, and they offer lessons which can be really helpful for new players.

36

I second Whitnall! And if you’re looking for something a bit tougher, take a look at Dretzka Park Golf Course. It has some great views and a nice layout for beginners who are ready to challenge themselves.

37

Don’t forget about Brown Deer Park! They have a fantastic driving range and affordable lessons. It’s a great place to build your confidence!

38

True! I had a great experience there last summer. The course is challenging but fair, definitely a good place to work on your game.

If you’re looking for lessons, I took a few at the Milwaukee County Parks Golf Academy. They have multiple locations, and I’ve learned a ton!

What about the course at Lake Park? I heard it’s unique because of its beautiful setting, but is it good for beginners?
