Established in 1894, Milwaukee Country Club is Wisconsin’s oldest golf club and one of the oldest clubs in the Midwest. Originally located on Milwaukee’s East Side, the Country Club moved north to its present site in 1911. After several redesigns, the present golf course was officially opened on July 4, 1929. The course was designed by famed architects Harry S. Colt and Charles H. Alison. The Club hosts approximately 15,000 rounds annually and features a practice range and short game area. Additional amenities include: nine asphalt tennis courts, three hydro-clay tennis courts, two paddle tennis courts, two croquet courts, pool, pool pavilion with dining bar and kitchen, snowshoeing, sledding, and cross-country skiing. The Club has 455 members.
In 2005, noted golf course architect Tom Doak of Renaissance Golf Design, Inc. agreed to develop a long-range plan for the club. Many of Mr. Doak’s recommended changes have been incorporated in today’s course. The club’s long-range plan will serve to confirm, preserve, and restore the traditional Colt and Alison heritage which makes Milwaukee Country Club’s course a truly distinguished venue for the game we all love.
