New Berlin, Wisconsin Course Re-Imagined into The Practice Station that Includes 3 Practice Holes

By Brian Weis


The only way to improve your game is to practice scenarios you'll find on the course. That's why we are thrilled to introduce a revolutionary new business model, The Practice Station in New Berlin, Wisconsin.

A 77-acre, 9-hole golf course in New Berlin, Wisconsin has been re-constructed into a state-of-the-art practice facility that offers golfers real-life situations they face every day on the course. With access to 8 practice stations and 3 practice holes, members are able to work with any club, on any shot, in any situation.

Each station helps golfers practice on different lies, at different yardages (that change frequently), to help improve all aspects of an individual's golf game. By giving a variety of different "mini driving ranges," golfers visualize their shots better than they would on a traditional driving range. This facility helps push golfers into fixing their swing path, alignment, and over-all golf game in a more productive manner.

Here is a breakdown of each of our stations and practice holes:

Station 1: 90-120 yard shots

Station 2: Short game practice for pitching, chipping, and bunker shots

Station 3: Driver and Fairway wood shots

Station 4: 50-150 yard shots hitting over, under, and/or through trees

Station 5: 60-90 yard shots hitting over, under, and or though trees onto the green

Station 6: 50-200 yard shots

Station 7: Up to 90-yard shots

Station 8: Fairway bunkers

Practice Hole 1: Par 3

Practice Hole 2: Short, dogleg Par 4

Practice Hole 3: Long Par 4 hitting over water

Owner and teaching professional John Bauer has long wanted his own facility - a place where golfers can truly improve their skills and overall game. His vision and guidance has resulted in the creation of The Practice Station. The purpose of this facility is simple: to give golfers of all ages and abilities access to a more productive practice facility. As a teaching professional, John has always wanted golfers to work on situational practice, which will lead to actual results on the course.

In addition to the 77-acre outside facility, The Practice Station also has the industry's best indoor golf simulator, powered by TrackMan, with plans to install a second simulator in fall 2019. Plans are also in place to add a driving range with heated bays and an indoor putting green for year-round practice. Combine all of our golf amenities with a fully stocked bar and you have a one-of-a-kind golf practice facility.

About: Brian Weis


Brian Weis Brian Weis is the mastermind behind GolfTrips.com, a vast network of golf travel and directory sites covering everything from the rolling fairways of Wisconsin to the sunbaked desert layouts of Arizona. If there’s a golf destination worth visiting, chances are, Brian has written about it, played it, or at the very least, found a way to justify a "business trip" there.

As a card-carrying member of the Golf Writers Association of America (GWAA), International Network of Golf (ING), Golf Travel Writers of America (GTWA), International Golf Travel Writers Association (IGTWA), and The Society of Hickory Golfers (SoHG), Brian has the credentials to prove that talking about golf is his full-time job. In 2016, his peers even handed him The Shaheen Cup, a prestigious award in golf travel writing—essentially the Masters green jacket for guys who don’t hit the range but still know where the best 19th holes are.

Brian’s love for golf goes way back. As a kid, he competed in junior and high school golf, only to realize that his dreams of a college golf scholarship had about the same odds as a 30-handicap making a hole-in-one. Instead, he took the more practical route—working on the West Bend Country Club grounds crew to fund his University of Wisconsin education. Little did he know that mowing greens and fixing divots would one day lead to a career writing about the best courses on the planet.

In 2004, Brian turned his golf passion into a business, launching GolfWisconsin.com. Three years later, he expanded his vision, and GolfTrips.com was born—a one-stop shop for golf travel junkies looking for their next tee time. Today, his empire spans all 50 states, and 20+ international destinations.

On the course, Brian is a weekend warrior who oscillates between a 5 and 9 handicap, depending on how much he's been traveling (or how generous he’s feeling with his scorecard). His signature move" A high, soft fade that his playing partners affectionately (or not-so-affectionately) call "The Weis Slice." But when he catches one clean, his 300+ yard drives remind everyone that while he may write about golf for a living, he can still send a ball into the next zip code with the best of them.

Whether he’s hunting down the best public courses, digging up hidden gems, or simply outdriving his buddies, Brian Weis is living proof that golf is more than a game—it’s a way of life.
