Golf in Franklin

Franklin is a city in Milwaukee County, set at the southwestern edge of the metro in country that blends suburban growth with remaining open space. One of the larger and faster-growing communities in the county, Franklin sits in the gently varied landscape south of Milwaukee, with the Root River and several parks threading through the area. The city is home to a minor-league ballpark and continues to develop as the metro expands southward. Golfers in the area find recreational and club courses throughout the surrounding suburbs, with the extensive Milwaukee County park system nearby. With downtown Milwaukee to the northeast and the lake-and-moraine country of Waukesha and Racine counties to the west and south, Franklin offers a base for golf in the growing southwestern suburbs of one of Wisconsin's largest urban areas, where new development meets the open country at the metro's edge.
