A century is a long time in the world of golf, but at Tuckaway, every decade has added a new layer to our legacy.

Our story began in 1924 when Frank Bell was elected as the club's first President, leading to our official opening in 1926. While many know our beautiful Franklin property today, the club’s roots began at 35th and Edgerton. Even in those early days, Tuckaway was known as a "shot-maker's course"—a place where precision was prized and the spirit of the game was held sacred.

In the 1960s, a new vision took hold. The club transitioned to our current home in Franklin, moving onto rolling land that once housed apple orchards. Designed by the renowned Ken Killian and Dick Nugent, this new layout was destined for greatness. It wasn't long before the professional world took notice, leading to a 20-year relationship with the PGA Tour and the Greater Milwaukee Open.

As we kick off our 100th year, we aren't just celebrating a golf course; we are celebrating the families, the championships, and the quiet Saturday mornings that have made Tuckaway a second home for generations.

Throughout 2026, we’ll be digging into the archives to share stories of the legends who have walked our fairways—from Jack Nicklaus and Payne Stewart to our very first Club Champion in 1926, Joseph D. Thuma.

Welcome to the Centennial. Here’s to the next 100 years.
