How Many Golf Courses Are in Wisconsin?

Wisconsin's golf landscape encompasses 165 named courses and country clubs distributed across 146 cities and 53 counties. These entries derive from the USGS Geographic Names Information System, the federal government's official gazetteer of named places, ensuring that each facility represents an actual, documented location organized by geographic position.

Because GNIS functions as a catalog of named geographic features rather than a registry of active commercial operations, the directory constitutes a partial and time-lagged snapshot of the state's golf infrastructure. A newly constructed course or recently renamed facility may not yet appear in the federal database, while information regarding a course's public or private designation, green fees, and course layout falls outside the scope of GNIS records. Golfers and course researchers should use this directory as a locating tool to identify and map courses by city and county, then consult each facility's official website to verify current hours of operation, rates, availability, and booking procedures.

Directory note. Listings come from the USGS GNIS named-feature gazetteer (2021 vintage) and are partial — public/private status, green fees and course layout aren't in the federal record. Confirm details on each course’s own site.

How to use the Wisconsin directory

Start by narrowing to where you want to play — by city, or more reliably by county — then open a course for its locality detail. Every listing is a real, named facility from the federal gazetteer; for tee times, green fees and public-or-private status, check the course’s own site, since those aren’t in the GNIS record.
