Located off of I43 in Waukesha, opened for play in 2001, Morningstar Golfer's Club features dramatic elevation changes throughout the course. Laid out around a former quarry, these elevation changes, some reaching more than 100 feet, are the key component of a course with virtually no level lies. In a subtle way, Morningstar features “target golf.” Shots must be played to landing areas flanked by strategically placed bunkers, mounds, depressions and “transition areas.” Wildflowers and prairie grass plantings add to the natural setting, and water comes into play on six holes. If you want to make it to the Championship field, best to avoid a "rocky" start while enjoying the vista views of Morningstar's stunning topography.

Located off the wooded slopes and shores of Lake Como, the semi-private Geneva National presents 54 holes of legendary golf designed by Arnold Palmer, Gary Player and Lee Trevino.  Opened in 1991, these magnificent signature courses feature meticulously manicured bent grass tees, fairways and greens.  Our first round playoff will see our members playing the Trevino 18, a course that plays to Mr. Trevino’s natural fade, featuring subtle dog-leg right holes on nearly every Par 4 & 5.  Trevino has signed his name to only a handful of courses making this opportunity a special one for the MGT and its members.

Less than an hour’s drive northwest of downtown Milwaukee, secluded in the heart of Wisconsin’s picturesque Kettle Moraine Area, lies Washington County Golf Course. Designed by the renowned Arthur Hills and opened for play in 1997, WCGC has a long impressive resume of events:

• USGA Regional Public Links Qualifiers (1999-2006, 2008, 2009, 2010)

• Wisconsin PGA Championship (2000)

• Wisconsin State Junior Championship (2001)

• Wisconsin PGA Match Play Championship (2002, 2006, 2009)

• Washington County Scratch Pro-Am (Annual)

• US Open Qualifying Round (2006)

• US Open Local Qualifying (2017)

No doubt we are humbled to be included in that list as WCGC will be our fourth and final major on the tour calendar.  The Open will also serve as our final event before the playoffs in mid August.

Founded in 1995, The Bog is an Arnold Palmer Signature Design golf course, named for the Cedarburg Bog on which it was built.  This Par-72 championship layout flows through 297 acres of woods, wetlands, rolling hills and wildlife habitat.  Bentgrass greens are built to USGA specifications, rivaling any putting surfaces in Wisconsin.  The course also has 118 bunkers, some of which feature tall lips and are especially penalizing.  Located just 25 minutes north of Milwaukee in Saukville, we can guarantee you this scenic course will be in pristine playing condition come late July.

Originally designed by Jack Nicklaus and Pete Dye, this Scottish-inspired, links-style course was transformed in 1996 by Bob Cupp and was recently updated in 2006 by Bob Lohmann.  With wide open fairways and lightning quick greens, this is a tight, shot-makers' course that will force golfers to think and play strategic golf. Long ball hitters may need to leave the driver in the bag on several holes so that they can safely play to landing areas, avoiding bunkers and other hazards.  A truly exhaustive golf challenge, it's an added bonus this course is part of a AAA Four-Diamond resort offering wellness programs and spa treatments.  The Highlands at Grand Geneva is absolutely worthy of being our third major, the U.S. Open, in mid July.

Opened in 2000, "Broadlands" is a hold-over name from when this land was an 1800's-era family farm.  Designed by Rick Jacobsen, a UW grad and protege of Jack Nicklaus, this course mirrors his philosophy of creating an unforgettable layout that stirs the imagination, challenges the competitive spirit and engages a golfer's mind and body.  The terrain continues to exhibit a bit of that dairyland look we're known for here in Wisconsin: some woods near greens and tee boxes, some water, and plenty of natural beauty.  Our sixth event of the tour, Broadlands Golf Club will inspire challenge for golfers of all levels.  Aim for wide open fairways and steer clear of the pesky fescue when you play this links-style greater Milwaukee favorite in mid summer.

It's time to test your golf skills on a course where a golf legend turned pro.  Maintained as part of the Milwaukee County Parks System, Brown Deer Park Golf Course was designed in 1929 by George Hansen, and later partially redesigned by Andy North and Roger Packard.  It was the fourth and final course to host the Greater Milwaukee Open (later rebranded as the U.S. Bank Championship) from 1994 to 2009.  At said PGA Tour event in 1996, Tiger Woods, age 20, would make a very memorable professional debut, draining a hole-in-one with a 6-iron on the 202-yard Par 3 14th.  Jack Nicklaus, Greg Norman, Lee Trevino and Ed Snead (to name a few) have all competed here at some point in their careers, and it's why it's featured as the PGA Championship, our second major of the season.

Founded in 1971, located in Franklin, Oakwood Park is the longest in length of Milwaukee County Parks’ golf courses at over 7,000 yards.  The second tour destination designed by Larry Packard, the course has generous landing areas and accessible but undulating greens, making the real game begin after your tee shot.  Recently completed bunkers and cart paths only add to the enjoyment. Oakwood's layout along with immaculate conditions and professional staff make it one of the busiest and most popular courses in the Milwaukee Metro Area.

Our first major of the tour brings us to a course that hosted major championships in 1899 and 1900.  One of the oldest clubs in the state of Wisconsin, golf was first played on the site of this course in 1896 and attracted the biggest names of the day.  In 2018, The Morse family purchased the course, which underwent a major reconstruction.  Wisconsin-based architect Craig Haltom was given land for four new holes and reengineered the others using strong bunkering to create engaging strategies and some of the most whimsical, multilevel greens anywhere, several over 10,000 square feet in size.  Known as the Course of Champions, The Club at Lac La Belle will be a fitting site to host our Masters event in mid May.

Our first of three stops in Lake Geneva on the 2024 schedule brings us to Hawk's View, home to the prestigious Como Crossings golf course.  This Par 72 championship-caliber track lies across the former Mt. Fuji Ski Hill, showcasing dramatic changes in elevation, impeccable playing conditions, and stunning landscape throughout.  Hawk's View Golf Course opened in the summer of 2001 and is regularly recognized as one of the premier golf course facilities in the Midwest.

We're kicking off our 2024 tour schedule with a course located less than a half hour west of Milwaukee.  In 1966, noted golf course architect Larry Packard transformed 200 wooded Kettle Moraine acres into a beautiful and challenging irrigated championship golf course.  Some holes are narrow and tree-lined, while others are more open and forgiving.  There's a good amount of elevation change, especially on the back nine, creating several blind tee shots.  The tee at the signature hole 14th - a double-dogleg Par 5 - offers terrific views of the rugged terrain and breathtaking views of Pewaukee Lake in the distance.  Naga-Waukee War Memorial of Waukesha County is truly a hidden gem and one of the best municipal courses in Wisconsin.
