Oakwood Park Golf Course



About this course
Oakwood Park Golf Course, nestled in the Franklin, Wisconsin, area, stands as a testament to accessible and enjoyable golf. Its routing delivers a classic parkland experience. Designed by the lesser-known William "Bill" Robert Graves, Oakwood Park's layout features gently rolling fairways, strategic bunkering, and mature trees that frame each hole. While not overly long, the course demands strategic shot placement and rewards intelligent play. The greens are typically receptive, but subtle undulations add to the challenge. The course doesnβt overtly favor any particular shot shape, though a consistent ball-striker will undoubtedly find an advantage. While Oakwood Park has not hosted any major professional championships, its appeal lies in its welcoming atmosphere and commitment to providing an affordable and enjoyable round for golfers of all skill levels. Oakwood Park Golf Course embodies the spirit of community golf in the Milwaukee suburbs.

Getting there
Oakwood Park Golf Course is most easily reached via Milwaukee Mitchell International Airport (MKE), situated roughly twenty miles north, a straightforward thirty-minute drive through the rolling suburbs and farmland that define southeastern Wisconsin. From the airport, the route traces south and west through Franklin's quiet residential corridors, where the landscape gradually opens into the manicured grounds and mature tree lines that frame this understated gem just outside Milwaukee's urban perimeter. For those departing from Chicago's O'Hare (ORD) or Midway (MDW), the drive extends to roughly ninety minutes, a journey that rewards patience with the transition from interstate commerce into the serene, well-tended character of Oakwood Park itself.
