Golf Course Grounds Intern

• Milwaukee Country Club is currently seeking Golf Course Management Interns for the 2027 golf season.

• The Club is undergoing a re-grass of putting greens and shortgrass approach/surrounds that began in August 2026. Interns will be heavily involved in the grow-in process as we approach anticipated opening on Memorial Day weekend 2027.

• Established in 1894, Milwaukee Country Club was originally located on Milwaukee’s East Side, the Country Club moved north to its present site in 1911. After several redesigns, the present golf course officially opened on July 4, 1929. The course was designed by famed architects Harry S. Colt and Charles H. Alison.

• In 2005, noted golf course architect Tom Doak of Renaissance Golf Design, Inc. agreed to develop a long-range plan for the club. Many of Mr. Doak’s recommended changes have been incorporated in today’s course. The club’s long-range plan will serve to confirm, preserve, and restore the traditional Colt and Alison heritage which makes Milwaukee Country Club’s course a truly distinguished venue.

• The Milwaukee Country Club resides on a 200-acre property about 10 miles north of downtown Milwaukee. Greens, tees, and fairways are predominately older cultivars of bentgrass/poa mix. The golf course consists of a large area of highly maintained turf which includes: 5 acres of greens, 5 acres of approach/surrounds, 35 acres of fairways, and 4 acres of tees.

• The club has hosted several national events which include: 1903 Western Open, 1969 Walker Cup Matches, 1988 U.S. Senior Amateur, and 2008 U.S. Mid-Amateur.

• Milwaukee Country Club is annually ranked among the Top 100 golf courses in the United States. Golf Magazine currently ranks Milwaukee Country Club as the #71 golf course on their Greatest in America list.
