About The Golf Courses of Lawsonia

The Golf Courses of Lawsonia in Green Lake is one of Wisconsin’s greatest golf treasures. The Links is a classic inland links of blind shots, mounding and incredible hilly topography to challenge and engage the best of players. The newer Woodlands course delivers a contrasting viewpoint with tons of trees and more elevation changes. It’s a high-caliber 1-2 punch. Lawsonia offers three homes for onsite accommodations: The Moreau House with a single and double suite; the five-bedroom Birches House and the three-bedroom Dawson House. Langford’s Pub is located inside the clubhouse, featuring a Friday Fish Fry and Saturday Prime Rib specials.

Great place to play!

Course was in excellent shape. Greens were closely mown,fast but not unfair. Would play the Woodlands more if we were closer to the course.

Lawsonia Links-Tough Greens

The greenskeeper must have been angry the morning we played. Some of the most severe pin placements I have seen on a course. We played as a threesome and played in about 4 hours. Great day, course in great shape.

Very good and challenging course

We have played the Woodlands course several times over the past years and always enjoy it. The course rewards you for staying in the fairway and even then trees can be in your way on the next shot. While I gave the course a very good rating there are a couple of cons.
The sand in the bunkers is not up to par for a course of this level. The sand was hard and hard fairly large pebbles in it.
It is nearly impossible to stop a putt on the 18th green without having it roll off the front of the green.

Awesome deal. Course in great shape for October.

I would consider myself very lucky to live only 15 minutes away from Lawsonia. Very affordable rates during the fall. Course in great shape and the staff was very friendly. Only compliant is that that the 18th green is way too fast, making for circus golf.

Love the greens and overall condition

Fairways were aerated, otherwise no complaints on the course. Played as a twosome and had no delays which allowed us to finish in less than 4 hrs. Just great!

Overated, overpriced

Staff appeared disinterested, cart lady was rude, course was in poor condition overall. Sand traps appeared to have had no attention for weeks. Greens were good. Nice layout. Too bad it is not kept in better condition. Course workers in the way several times. Painfully slow pace of play. No rangers to move along the folks that have no respect for others. Too many other nice courses around for me to waste my money on this one. Do yourself a favor and play somewhere else.

Patchy fairways and rough

Staff- improved from my last visit to this course when I played the links course.

Tee boxes- Not level patchy grass
Fairways- patchy not well kept
Bunkers- no crisp edges, a lot of the bunkers are not raked
Greens- Beat up full of mud spots
Holes- There is a really nice elevated par 3 hole on this course which is there signature hole of the Woodland 18 holes and one of the better par 3 hole's I ever played. There is also another a nice split fairway hole with a shot over a ravine that sticks out to me.

Price I paid $55

Conclusion I would recommend trying this course but not for a price higher then $50 a person. The staff is hit or miss on this course, BUT DO NOT PAY FULL PRICE FOR THIS COURSE YOU WILL BE DISAPOINTED.

Expired soda, group hangout for staff,

Staff- Young non disciplined staff. Upon arrival to the course one of the employee that was working with the carts had his girlfriend sitting on his lap making out while on the clock. Upon entrance to the clubhouse my group waited at the counter while employees sat on a couch in the back room in clear view of myself and my group hanging out for about 5 minutes even after they observed us waiting at the counter. While on the course I was given an expired soda of about 6 months by the cart girl, I went into the club house at the turn to exchange the soda. This time I asked for a lemonade and noticed that even the lemonade was expired by 4 months, the bar tender then had to dig for a non expired drink and was not apologetic at all, which its not her fault but I think an apology was at least in order.

Course- In a little rough shape, (its the end of the year)
Fairways- were not the best kept
Greens- Must have been frozen that day which it was cold out but the greens could not hold a ball at all. Putts were rolling 20 feet bye on 7 foot putts.
Bunkers- were not raked and in rough shape
Carts- have a hand held range finder attached to the cart

I paid $60 and was disappointed

For other links course's I recommend Royal St. Patrick's over this course

Very scenic and challenging

The course was in great condition. Elevated greens makes for difficult approach shots. Could be very tough for the high handicap golfer(over 25). Extremely scenic and fun to play while looking over Green Lake.

Lawsonia

For a deal I don't mind the long drive to play what I feel is the better of the 2 courses. The Links gets the ratings, but if you love carved out of the forest golf this is the track to play. Bent grass fairways and greens, real sand in the bunkers.

Woodlands is a marvelous track set in a special setting adjacent to Green Lake

Interesting course with each hole presenting a different challenge with sand , water and mature trees.
Course uses hilly terrain to create dramatic vistas and requires thoughtful approach shots.
Greens have challenging breaks but rolled smoothly.
A special place and a must play for serious golfers.

Great links experience

Greens were fast and wind was blowing 20 mph. Along with fairly firm conditions we had great links experience, except for temps in the 90s. Probably a difficult course for high handicappers. Not very forgiving if you miss fairways and greens. Cool course however not like many others you play

Fast greens, daunting approaches, fantastic views

Outside of having a few burned out spots on some greens, the course is immaculate. The greens are firm, but will hold a long approach. Just try to keep the approach underneath the cup, since the greens have to be 12+ on the stimp meter. Every cart offers a laser range finder, but I found my Garmin GPS to be more accurate. Enjoyed the course very much!!!
