Green Bay, Wisconsin is hosting Sunday Night Football this weekend — and the forecast says bring your clubs. If you're hunting for public golf near Green Bay Wisconsin, the timing couldn't be better: six strong public courses ring Lambeau Field, and Sunday brings 64°, sunshine, and zero rain.

The game
The Dallas Cowboys (2-3) visit the Green Bay Packers (3-2) on Sunday, October 18 — 8:20 PM ET on NBC from Lambeau Field. Green Bay is favored by 1.5 in a rematch of last season's absurd 40-40 overtime tie, and Jordan Love has carved up Dallas every time he's faced them. Expect points, and expect Lambeau loud.
Best public golf courses near Green Bay
Village Green Golf Course (Green Bay) is the closest tee time to Lambeau Field — about 10 minutes away. This 9-hole municipal (par 36, 3,259 yards) is the weekend's cheapest golf: $21.50 for nine holes, $33.75 to loop it twice, with carts at $11.50 per rider per nine.
Thornberry Creek at Oneida (Oneida) is the championship test, about 12–15 minutes north of the stadium. The Legends 18 (par 72, 6,934 yards) hosted the LPGA Classic from 2017–19; daily rates are dynamically priced, with guest rates around $75 for the Legends 18 and $37 for the 9-hole Iroquois (par 36, 2,952 yards).
Brown County Golf Course (Hobart) is the local legend, about 20 minutes west of Lambeau. This county-owned 18 (par 72, 6,804 yards from the blue tees) was designed by Lawrence Packard and opened in 1958 — and the 14th hole was built with dirt from the Lambeau Field construction project. Weekend walking rates are $44 for 18 ($40 on weekdays); riding adds $20 per person.
The Woods Golf Club (Green Bay) sits about 15 minutes east of Lambeau. The public 18 (par 71, 6,181 yards from the back tees) pairs a wooded front nine with an open back nine, plus a grass-tee driving range. The club doesn't publish green fees online — directory estimates land between $37 and $52 — so call ahead before you go.
Hilly Haven Golf Course (De Pere) is carved into the Niagara Escarpment about 18 minutes south of the stadium. The 18-hole public layout (par 71, roughly 6,000–6,500 yards) costs $43 for 18 on weekends ($39 weekdays), with carts at $22 — and its 4.7 user rating is the highest of any course on this list.
Mid Vallee Golf Course (De Pere) is the value play, about 20 minutes south of Lambeau. The public 27-hole venue (par 70, about 6,450 yards) is running fall rates of $26 walking or $39 riding for 18 holes — the cheapest full round near the stadium this weekend.

The play
Saturday: land, then play the anchor — Thornberry Creek's Legends 18 or Brown County, both easy drives from anywhere in Green Bay. Sunday: morning tee time in 64° sunshine, then the full Lambeau experience — tailgate, kickoff 8:20 PM ET on NBC, and a 43° clear night, so layer up for the fourth quarter. Monday: sleep in, squeeze in nine at Village Green, and fly home. Same formula as our GameDay in Provo weekend — golf by day, big-time football by night.
