The University Club of Milwaukee (Wis.) has announced a 25-year partnership to be the home course for the Marquette University’s men’s golf team.

The 135-year-old club will look to begin a multimillion-dollar makeover in the fall and winter of 2018-19 that will create multi-use athletic facilities; unique bar and dining areas; high-tech meeting, conference, banquet and event spaces, boutique hotel rooms, and a “one-of-a-kind” four-season rooftop dining and event area.

Eight courses will serve as host sites for the September competitions among all-star teams of junior golfers, ages 13 and under who will vie for the opportunity to advance to the championship at Grayhawk GC in Scottsdale, Ariz. in November.

The combined clubs have adopted the University Club of Milwaukee name and designed a new logo. “We are ahead of pace on our integration efforts, and are very pleased with how our members are enjoying the wider array of services and amenities now available as a combined club,” said Board of Directors President Dan Aiello.

Both clubs’ Boards approved the merger in May, and Graham Leibowitz will act as General Manager of the combined facilities with Vicki Schroeder managing the downtown operations. The merger is expected to be complete in December and the name of the new entity is still under discussion.

The three-year capital improvement plan at the Milwaukee, Wis., property included reconstructing greens, fairways, tee boxes and bunkers. Course officials noted that the course is self-sustaining, maintained by greens fees.

The merger of the two historic Milwaukee clubs would combine city dining and event amenities, and suburban recreational activities with a single club membership. The boards of each private organization have approved the non-binding letter of intent, and a member vote is expected for this fall.
