Golf in Big Bend

Big Bend is a small village in Waukesha County, set along the Fox River in the lake country southwest of Milwaukee. The village takes its name from the sweeping curve of the river as it winds through this part of southeastern Wisconsin, in a landscape shaped by the glaciers into kettles, kames, and small lakes. Big Bend sits within the dense suburban arc ringing greater Milwaukee, yet keeps a small-town feel along the river. Waukesha County is one of the most golf-rich regions in the state, and the village lies within easy reach of dozens of courses. The terrain blends woods, water, and the moraine country typical of the area. Golfers in Big Bend find recreational and club courses throughout the surrounding county. With Waukesha nearby and Milwaukee to the east, the village offers a base for golf in one of the most golf-dense corners of Wisconsin.
