Getting there
Most visitors to Blue Mound Golf & Country Club arrive through Milwaukee Mitchell International Airport, a straightforward twenty-minute drive to the west into Wauwatosa's leafy residential fabric. The route follows the interstate briefly before peeling off into tree-lined boulevards where the city's suburban grace takes hold - wide lawns, mature oaks, and the quiet hum of an established neighborhood.
