About this course

Quit Qui Oc’s Original 18 stands as a testament to Wisconsin’s understated, yet enduring, golfing heritage. Designed in 1922 by the esteemed Leonard Macomber, the course presents a classic, parkland layout amidst the rolling Kettle Moraine landscape near Elkhart Lake. Mature hardwoods frame generous fairways, while strategically placed bunkers and subtle elevation changes demand thoughtful club selection and precise approaches to undulating greens. It's a course where strategy trumps sheer power, rewarding players who can navigate the natural contours and respect the nuances of Macomber's design. While not a stage for major championships, Quit Qui Oc enjoys a loyal following among regional golfers and families who appreciate its unpretentious charm and commitment to traditional values. It's a course where generations have learned the game, and where the spirit of friendly competition thrives within a welcoming atmosphere. The club itself has long been known for its close-knit membership and the annual "Ryder Cup" between different member teams. Quit Qui Oc, affectionately known as "3-Q," embodies the enduring appeal of classic golf. Its charm lies in its simplicity, its playability, and its ability to foster a sense of community among those who call it home. The 19th hole often sees members reminiscing about rounds and sharing stories while eating the club's famed Friday fish fry; a local tradition as central to the "3-Q" experience as a perfectly struck iron shot.

Getting there

Most visitors to Quit Qui Oc Golf Club arrive through Milwaukee's General Mitchell International Airport, roughly an hour and a quarter north along Interstate 43 into Wisconsin's Kettle Moraine country. The drive traces the western shore of Lake Michigan before turning inland, where the terrain begins to roll and soften into glacial drumlin and hardwood forest. As you approach Elkhart Lake, the highway yields to quieter county roads that wind past dairy farms and wooded ridges, the final miles delivering you to a secluded enclave where the club has stood, largely unchanged, since the early twentieth century.
