You're looking for a very small cache at Lake Park Golf Course, a site of historical significance. To find out why, read on. The cache is not located on the actual course but has a great view of it, and parking is readily available along the street as well as at the parking lot.
For us, this is a golf course of historical significance and special meaning. This is the very first place that Mr. Hack1of2 ever played golf. While in college at UWM, Mr. Hack1of2 and a friend decided to do some golfing at Lake Park. They had a great time, and actually did reasonably well (must have been all that mini-golf experience). Now hundreds of rounds of golf later, he's still at it.

ABOUT LAKE PARK GOLF
Lake Park Golf Course is a par-3 public course for beginners or players who seek to improve their short game. Fees for 18 holes range from only $7 to $9. It features 1,154 yards of golf for a par of 54. It's also one of Milwaukee's oldest public courses, having opened in 1930. Clubs, bags, and pull carts are available for rental, and drinks are available, as well as restrooms. No reservations are needed (for golfing or caching) and walk on/tee times are all on a first-come first-served basis.
ABOUT LAKE PARK
Not only does Lake Park have an 18-hole golf course, but this gem of a park features a playground, a lake pavilion, bowling greens, historic North Point Lighthouse, a soccer field, tennis courts, the Oak Leaf Bicycle Trail, SE Wisconsin's largest waterfall (can you find it?), running track, the two historic Lion Bridges which span the two lighthouse ravines, one of Milwaukee's most romantic restaurants, and a view of Lake Michigan. It's no wonder that Lake Park was recently honored as Milwaukee's best public park.
There's also at least five other caches located at Lake Park. Come check out where "Mr. Hack's" golf career all started, and find a cache or two while you're at it!
Congratulations to Beezers958 on the FTF honors!
