The Perfect Golf Day Itinerary: MKE Wisconsin’s rolling landscape has attracted some of the nation’s most talented course designers – such as Arnold Palmer, Jack Nicklaus and Pete Dye – as well as top professional golfers and casual weekend players alike. With picturesque landscapes and plenty of courses to choose from, you’ll be sinking that birdie in no time. Check out this perfect golf day itinerary, courtesy of IMS Barter, to see a sampling of what we have to offer. We’ll see you on the first tee!

Start your morning off with an early tee time at the West Bend Lakes Golf Club (page 8) located just off of Hwy 33 in West bend. Originally a 9-hole course, the Merkel Family has been expanding it to a 18-hole course since 1994! This now championship-style course makes it a great morning challenge when water comes into play on sixteen of eighteen holes.

Once you’ve mastered West Bend Lakes Golf Club’s course and enjoyed the spectacular views of the Milwaukee River, drive down to Three Lions Pub in Milwaukee for a hardy English brunch - complete with their Corned Beef Hash, Beefeater Burger, and The Full Monty (a Belgium waffle with braised rib and slab of bacon on top).

You could grab dinner at their clubhouse, however you would miss out on the famous Brazilian steakhouse, Rodizio Grill! Enjoy an unlimited and succulent variety of rotisserie-grilled meats, glazed pineapple, authentic Brazilian sides, and an experience like nowhere else Finish the night downtown Milwaukee at Fore! MKE (page 9), who features four high tech indoor golf simulators and a full open bar with extended late night hours. You can experience 34 world famous championship golf courses and interactive practice facilities on the simulators. It’s the best way to end a such a day: having fun with friends, playing virtual golf and drinking cold beers.

But the truly best part of this perfect golf day itinerary is that all these locations are available on trade! To learn more on how to make this perfect day happen, call your IMS Broker now!

After enjoying great food and even better drinks, head over to New Berlin Hills (page 8) golf course. Established in 1907, New Berlin Hills Golf Course is continually recognized as one of the premier Milwaukee golf courses. Additionally, it has become one of the most well known among local golfers for its fast and challenging greens, and excellent course conditions.
