About this course
Valley at Kettle Hills, cradled in the rolling glacial landscape of Richfield, Wisconsin, offers a diverse golfing experience steeped in local charm. Carved from the Kettle Moraine, the Valley layout, a testament to mid-century design, presents a strategic test where understanding the land’s natural contours is as crucial as club selection. While it may not command national headlines, the course’s engaging layout and the region's storied golf legacy make it a beloved fixture for players across Southeastern Wisconsin. The original design favors a ground game, encouraging creative shot-making and a keen awareness of the subtly sloping fairways. While no singular name is attached to its initial creation, the Valley course speaks to a bygone era of accessible, community-focused golf. Valley is known locally as a good test of golf, the course’s real draw lies in its welcoming atmosphere and the camaraderie of its loyal membership. Many are drawn to the course for its unpretentious character and the post-round gatherings, often centered around the club's famed Friday night fish fry – a true Wisconsin tradition.

Getting there
The journey to Kettle Hills Golf Club begins at Milwaukee's General Mitchell International Airport, roughly forty-five minutes to the southeast, where the urban sprawl of Wisconsin's largest city quickly gives way to the rolling farmland and glacial topography of Washington County. The drive northwest traces the edge of the Kettle Moraine, that distinctive ribbon of wooded hills and prairie potholes left behind by ancient ice sheets, before turning onto quiet country roads that wind through open pasture and hardwood groves. Arrival at Kettle Hills feels less like reaching a destination than discovering a hidden pocket of the landscape - a secluded club tucked into the very terrain that gives it both name and character.
