Private Golf Clubs That Shaped GOATT Golf Club’s Founders

Every golfer has that one special course where they first fell in love with the game, made unforgettable memories or honing their skills. For Bryan and Travis, founders of GOATT Golf Club, it began at their Wisconsin clubs: they wanted to offer members exclusive and high-quality experiences so they developed this platform that connects golf enthusiasts with top private courses across the United States.

Bryan and Travis explored Wisconsin’s premier private golf clubs during their journey, each playing an instrumental part in shaping their vision of GOATT Golf Club. Not only did these clubs set high standards of course quality and exclusivity but also reinforced community, accessibility and tradition that characterize private golf.

Here are a few private golf clubs that have helped form the mission and vision of GOATT Golf Club:

Green Bay Country Club

Situated just outside Green Bay, Green Bay Country Club is widely considered one of Wisconsin’s finest private golf courses. Renowned for its picturesque rolling terrain and immaculate course conditions, it provides an unforgettable golf experience that challenges players of all abilities.

Green Bay CC stands out among golf courses for its tightly knit membership and welcoming atmosphere, embodying what makes an excellent home course—friendships, competitive rounds, pride in membership.

“I found inspiration in how Green Bay CC fostered an inclusive community while still offering elite level play, an aspect which later formed the core principle behind GOATT Golf Club.” says Travis.

Tuckaway Country Club

Tuckaway Country Club in Franklin, Wisconsin, is a hidden treasure with an incredible history. Hosting several PGA Tour events and featuring tree-lined fairways, fast greens and strategic bunkering—this course tests some of the greatest players. Tuckaway demands precision shot-making that requires accurate execution to succeed on this course.

Tuckaway Golf Club is known for its tradition of excellence and camaraderie among members, which inspired GOATT’s mission of connecting like-minded golf enthusiasts.

“I recognized a need for an accessible platform where members of private clubs across the country could connect, share experiences, and gain access to exclusive tee times.” says Bryan.

The Legend Clubs (Merrill Hills, Bergamont, Bristlecone Pines and Brandybrook)

Few Wisconsin golf club networks can match The Legend Clubs for variety and excellence. Boasting four championship-caliber courses—Merrill Hills, Bergamont, Bristlecone Pines, and Brandybrook—members can experience unparalleled private golf.

Each course in this Legend Club network presents its own distinct features, from Bristlecone Pines’ wooded beauty to Bergamont’s rolling hills and dramatic elevation changes.

“We witnessed first-hand what an ideal private club experience should look like while playing at The Legend Clubs: world-class golf, premier amenities, and an overwhelming sense of community. These experiences led us to establish GOATT Golf Club,” says Travis.
