North Hills Country Club


About this course
North Hills Country Club sits in Menomonee Falls, a suburban community northwest of Milwaukee. The course was designed by Robert Bruce Harris, a Wisconsin-based architect who worked primarily in the upper Midwest during the mid-twentieth century. Harris designed several courses in the region and was known for routing layouts that worked with the natural terrain rather than imposing dramatic earthwork on the land. The property occupies rolling terrain characteristic of southeastern Wisconsin, shaped by glacial activity that left gentle ridges and shallow valleys across the landscape. The routing moves through mature hardwood stands and open meadow areas, with elevation changes that provide variety without requiring extreme uphill or downhill shots. Water features appear on several holes, typically in the form of ponds or small creeks that come into play on approach shots or around greens. North Hills serves as a traditional private club for families in the Menomonee Falls and greater Milwaukee area. The club offers a full range of amenities beyond golf, including tennis, swimming, and dining facilities. The course itself plays as a straightforward test of golf, with tree-lined fairways that reward accuracy and greens that require thoughtful approach play. The layout reflects the design sensibilities of its era, emphasizing strategic shot placement over length and maintaining a walkable scale that suits member play throughout the season.

Getting there
North Hills Country Club lies in the northern suburbs of Milwaukee, typically accessed via General Mitchell International Airport (MKE), a straightforward twenty-five-minute drive to the northwest. The route traces Interstate 41 through the city's outer ring before peeling west into Menomonee Falls, where the urban grid softens into wooded residential enclaves and gently rolling terrain. As you leave the highway behind, the final approach winds through quiet streets of mature oaks and maples, the landscape hinting at the classic parkland character awaiting within the club's gates - a serene retreat tucked discreetly into Wisconsin's lake country.
