The History of Hawthorne Hills Golf Course:
In the early 1960’s the Ozaukee County Board purchased two dairy farms with the sole intention of creating a new park. Hawthorne Hills Park is actually four parks in one. It includes Hawthorne Hills Park, Hawthorne Hills golf course, H.H. Peters Youth Camp, and the historic Ozaukee County Pioneer Village. The name “Hawthorne Hills” was selected from a list submitted by contestants throughout the county, which fit quite nicely as there are a number of Hawthorne trees dotting the rolling hillsides.
The golf course was designed by Lee Egelhoff and debuted in 1964 with just nine holes. Four years after opening, the course added an additional nine holes by purchasing a third small dairy farm. Since its opening over 55 years ago, the course has continued to make improvements for the benefit of its customers. Construction of new greens, tees boxes, and expansion of the clubhouse are only a few of the ongoing enhancements.
Today over 35,000 men, women, and juniors enjoy the Golf Digest 4-star facility each year. The popularity is a great tribute to the vision and hard work of the men and women of Ozaukee County.
Hawthorne Hills golf course is a Golf Digest 4 Star rated facility. It has four sets of tee markers with its longest being 6,657 yards. The course rating/slope is 70.8/119 from the back tees and is a par 72.
The championship course is tree lined with gentle elevation changes, four water hazards, 14 bunkers, large tee boxes, and exceptional greens averaging 6,000 sq ft. The practice facility consists of a chipping green, practice bunker, and a putting green.
Tee times can be made online, calling the golf shop, or in person at the facility. Reservations may be made 10 days in advance. The course is open from April through November (weather permitting).
The club house amenities include a golf shop, handicap service, rental clubs, push carts.
A full service food and beverage menu serving breakfast, lunch, and dinner which is open to the public as well as our golfers. Beverage cart service is also available on the golf course. The facility is also available for outside groups with a seating capacity of 80 people.
The History of Mee-Kwon Park Golf Course:
Mee-Kwon Park golf course and Mee-Kwon Park joined the Ozaukee County Park System in 1972. The land was once owned by the Fromm Brothers Fox Farms Corporation. Some of the remnants of the farm still remain. Two of the original buildings from the Fox Farm that were built in the 1930’s (located north of the 15th tee box) have been used by the golf course maintenance staff over the years. One of the buildings was used as a carpenter shop for building fox pens. The second building (located east of the 13th fairway) was used as a barn for the horses and feed storage. A new maintenance facility was built in the fall of 2014 which sits between these two historic structures.
The golf course was designed by Lee Ehelhoff and the inaugural round of golf was played on August 14, 1974. Since its inception the overall length of the course has been extended, several greens have been reconstructed, as well as new tee boxes and bunkers were added to make the course more enjoyable for our 40,000 customers that play the course on an annual basis.
Mee-Kwon Park golf course also has four sets of tee markers with the back tees measuring 6527. Its course rating/slope is 70.8/122 and is a par 70.
This facility is a parkland course with more elevation changes than its sister course to the north, 34 bunkers, two water hazards, large pristine tee boxes, and exceptionally conditioned greens. The practice facility consists of a putting green, practice bunkers, and a chipping green.
Tee times can be made online, calling the golf shop, or in person at the facility. Reservations may be made 10 days in advance. The course is open from April through November (weather permitting).
The club house amenities include locker rooms, showers, golf shop, handicap service, golf carts, rental clubs, and push carts.
A full service food and beverage menu serving breakfast, lunch, and dinner which is open to the public as well as our golfers. Beverage cart service is also available on the golf course. The facility is available for outside groups with a seating capacity of 100 people.
