The University Club of Milwaukee is a wonderful and highly respected golf course and is a joy to play for all skill levels. Having hosted the PGA Tour’s Great Milwaukee Open and numerous USGA qualifyings it is a stern test from the back tees. The original Tom Bendelow design is now complimented by tree lined fairways and well placed water hazards. The elevated tees and greens are an unexpected pleasure in this region. Always striving for improvement, The Club is currently working with Golf Course architect Andy Staples on a 10 year plan to preserve the integrity of the playing conditions and original design.
