The Milwaukee County Parks System has announced that two golf courses, Grant park and Lincoln Park will be open this weekend beginning Friday because of the unseasonably warm weather we have been having this winter.

To make a tee time at Grant, call (414) 762-4646; to make a teee time at Lincoln, call (414) 962-2400.

The county parks system is also offering four free golf cart passes to anyone who purchases an unlimited golf pass before March 1. The premium rate is $1499 (which includes Brown Deer Park), with a less expensive option for $999 (which does not include Brown Deer). Both have options for "bring a friend" passes as well.

To purchase a golf membership, visit the Parks Administration Building at 9480 Watertown Plank Road during regular business hours.
