The Golf Courses at Lawsonia features two amazing courses: The Links and The Woodlands. It opened in 1930 on an excellent design by Wm. Langford and Theodore Moreau. They traveled to Scotland to sketch and photograph famous golf holes at other links style courses and then laid out a course with multi-tiered greens, some 90 bunkers and deep rough atop a windswept plateau above Green Lake, Wisconsin’s deepest lake at 237 feet.

The Woodlands Course opened in 1985 and was designed by Rocky Roquemore. It is a stunning contrast to The Links Course as it is a tree lined course and it guarded by over 80 bunkers. The Woodlands features the stunning Hole #3 (a 169 yard Par 3) with its lakeshore panorama and a 65-foot drop from tee to green. Another favorite is Hole # 2 (341-yard par 4) which has it’s fairway and green separated by a 90+ year old stone quarry. Golf Digest readers stated that The Woodlands is “one of the toughest courses you will ever play”, “second only to Blackwolf Run,” and “top five best courses ever played.”

he Links Course is one of the most celebrated and challenging courses in the Midwest. The Links is almost completely treeless and wind comes into play very often. There are around 90 bunkers on the course, gentle rolling terrain, multi-tier fast greens, bent grass fairways, and deep punishing rough. This is a must play for all Wisconsin golfers.

Rates are around $85 for 18 holes with a cart, which is a very good deal for this quality of golf course.
