Dear Golfers,

As Wanaki Golf Course enters its last week as a Waukesha County Golf Course, we would like to say thank you to our great customers and fantastic staff for your part in our 50 exceptional years in business.

We truly appreciate everyone who has come out to play the course over those years. It is the tremendous loyalty and support of our customers that has made Wanaki a special place to play the game.

Waukesha County has been extremely fortunate to have so many knowledgeable and hard-working staff. We are extremely proud of our Clubhouse Supervisor, Superintendent, and the many, many seasonal staff who have represented Waukesha County so well to our golfers. Your dedication to customers, the grounds and the game of golf has been remarkable. Thank you for a job well done.

The course will close on Sunday, November 22, 2020 to transfer ownership. We are very pleased that Wanaki will continue operation under the ownership of the Storm Family group, and we know that it will remain a very special place to play golf for many years.

Thank you again for your unwavering support, and for so many wonderful memories. Best wishes to Wanaki Golf Course.

Sincerely,

Waukesha County Golf Course Management

About: 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.
