The Brown Deer Golf club looks forward to its upcoming 75th anniversary in 2009. On March 12, 1934 the Brown Deer Golf Club was formed as an organizational meeting took place at the clubhouse. Soon after another meeting took place with Currie, Grant and Greenfield park representives in order to form an alliance that would eventually become the Milwaukee County Public Links Association. Even in it's early days the club was open to players of all skill levels. The 1934 club president John Drake was quoted saying "Whether a man shoots 75 or 125 makes no difference. Every one not only is welcome, but has an equal opportunity for enjoyment and sharing in the prize awards. All Club events are designed to care for the high handicap players as well as the better shooters". That continues today with all club events contested by handicap giving all who participate an equal chance of winning if he has his 'A' game on that day. From Jack Nicklaus, Arnold Palmer to Tiger Woods, a rookie playing his first event as a professional, the greatest players in the game of golf have made Brown Deer Golf Course their home for one week. In 2007, the U.S. Bank Championship in Milwaukee entered a new era with its 40th annual event, becoming part of the new PGA TOUR FedExCup competition. The 2008 season is about to get underway. Make your plans now to enjoy all Brown Deer Golf course and Milwaukee County has to offer.
