By JERRY SLASKE KEY Milwaukee Golf Editor
DESPITE HARSH WINTERS, Wisconsin is a golfer’s paradise and it all begins this month. Honest!
From April through almost all of November, you can play some of the country’s finest courses at affordable rates. In the spring, when weather condi- tions determine when courses open, early-season rates are very attractive, allowing even the most budget-conscious golfer to play the best courses.
To help put your swing in the groove, the following are early-season rates for select courses in Southeastern Wisconsin. There’s something for every budget and you won’t be disappointed with any of these tracts.
