The Village Where Tiger Woods Turned Pro
Nobody really agrees on how Brown Deer got its name. The most popular version says a deer jumped through the door of a local saloon and broke up a card game in progress. Another says a brown deer stuck its head in a window while the Schulenburg family was building their home in 1887. A third credits a sign a local put up on Schweitzer’s Saloon reading “Braun Hirsch, Brown Deer.”
All three stories still get repeated around town. None of them can actually be confirmed, and the name was already in use before any of the events supposedly happened.
What’s better documented: Brown Deer voted to incorporate as its own village on January 20, 1955, mainly to avoid annexation by Milwaukee. Milwaukee didn’t let the matter drop, though, contesting the borders for years afterward.
The fight wasn’t settled until 1962, when the Wisconsin Supreme Court awarded Brown Deer the so-called Tripoli area and handed the rest of the contested land to Milwaukee. That ruling is why Brown Deer is only about 4.4 square miles today, one of the smallest villages in Milwaukee County.
Small as it is, Brown Deer punches above its weight in one particular way: golf. Brown Deer Park Golf Course, a public county course inside the village, hosted the PGA Tour’s Greater Milwaukee Open, later the U.S. Bank Championship, every year from 1994 to 2009. It’s also where Tiger Woods played his very first round as a professional golfer in 1996, tying for 60th and making a hole-in-one on the par-3 14th that Sunday.

“We inherited my mom’s ranch a few blocks from Brown Deer Park. She used to walk over and watch the pros play every August back when the tournament was still around, and the house hadn’t been updated much since then either. Derek didn’t care about any of that, had a number for us in two days, and we closed in about three weeks.” – Tom K., Brown Deer, WI
