Golf Our Historic Course yerkesgolf2.jpg

The George Williams College Golf Course is one of the oldest public courses in Wisconsin. It was created in 1900 with only one hole and expanded to 18 holes in 1927.

Designed for the beginning to the intermediate player, our challenging course offers a leisurely pace and is very walkable and affordable. The course is ideally designed for adults, juniors and families who are interested in learning how to play golf or would like to practice their game.

In addition, this beautiful, tree-lined course lies in the shadows of the world-famous Yerkes Observatory as seen from holes two and three.

Our Heritage
Our golf course began as a dream of professors at Yerkes Observatory and the YMCA staff of the George Williams College. Six holes were laid out by Dr. James Naismith (who also invented basketball) as a summer diversion for the busy gentleman. By 1906, there were nine holes open to the public and by 1918, the course had expanded to 18 holes through a gift by S.B. Chapin. The Gramley Clubhouse was built and dedicated in 1929.

Our Mission
To provide an enjoyable and affordable experience, with friends and family experiencing time together in the beautiful outdoors, while encouraging the sport of golf in a relaxed, fun and non-competitive environment.
