Morningstar Golf Course - Waukesha, WI

Filed under Milwaukee

Morningstar Golf Course is an 18 hole golf course in Waukesha, WI.  It features dramatic elevation changes throughout the entire course as it was built on the site of an old gravel quarry.  You will be hard pressed to find a single flat lie on your 18 hole round as the course continually goes up and down throughout the holes.

Morningstar Golfers Club is full of great scenery and numerous picturesque holes as the course seems to blend perfectly with natural and it surroundings.  You will be tested as you make you way around the course as you will need just about every club in your bag and a little bit of imagination.  For being fairly new the course is very mature with many Oak, Maple, Hickory and Pine trees lining the course.

#18 is one of the best holes on the course as you tee off high above the fairway and can take in a great view of the entire course and all all the great scenery it has to offer.  The course is very well maintained and is challenging but not to the point where it takes away from the fun of golfing.  I would rate this one of the top courses Milwaukee has to offer especially considering the price.

18 holes with a cart (which is required and for a very good reason) will run you anywhere from $40-$60 depending on the time and season which you play.  I would rate this a great deal and would head back to Morningstar Golf Course anytime!
