Plan Your Green Lake Golf Trip in 60 Seconds

Wisconsin's deepest lake and a 1930 links time capsule

Lawsonia Links is one of the great Golden-Age courses in America — a 1930 William Langford & Theodore Moreau masterpiece of bold geometric bunkering and elevated greens, untouched for nearly a century. Pair it with Wisconsin's deepest inland lake for a low-key, high-golf retreat.
