George Williams College Golf Course Golf Our Historic Course
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. The course boasts scenic beauty as one of its attractions as the second and third holes of the course are in the shadow of Yerkes Observatory. Course Information and Features
Rates & Reservations 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. To promote the spirited game of golf by focusing on etiquette and skill improvement rather than competition. To offer reasonable and affordable rates for all levels of golfers.
