Golf Courses of Lawsonia Hotel

Beautiful course, played Woodlands. Greens are challenging bring your A game.

A great golfing experience for those looking for a new course to try. Lawsonia has met all expectations. Great job!

The links course was in amazing shape. The experience was awesome and the setting is gorgeous!

Played the Woods for the first time was supposed to play the Links but pretty packed. Woods course in great condition and a lot different than the Links except the greens not nearly as fast. The only Question is why they charge basically the same price.

Beautiful woodlands Course, well taken care of! Greens FAST! Bar food great, Sue our server was friendly … can’t wait to return.

Great course, great staff, and great prices.

Me and my wife love to bring our dog to walk with us while playing. The staff is very friendly and welcoming. Lawsonia is easily the best value in golf!

Incredible Layout, condition & greens on the LINKS! Beautiful & a True LINKS!

Loved playing both courses! Got a hole in one on the Woodlands Course so it was an extra special visit. I return every year and I’m never disappointed!

Awesome golf experience
Will be back to play the links course.

Very friendly staff and the course is in incredible shape. Greens roll true. Fairways generous but go too far off line and the fescue will get you.

One of the best courses I have ever played.

I may not have played the greatest, but this place is amazing. Had a great day on the links.

I heard about this place through some videos and reading a Golf Digest article about the best value golf in the country. Made the 3 hour drive to Lawsonia and played the Links course. Absolutely fantastic! My wife and nine year old daughter got an all day play rate for 60 dollars. The quality of this course is amazing. The fairways are firm and in great shape and the greens were fantastic. Putt it on line and the ball does not move from that line. I felt like every hole was a unique experience. They all felt different. There were a few blind tee shots and if you find yourself attacking the wrong angle of a pin from the fairway it is likely that you will not have a view of the pin. The greens at this place are incredible. They’re fast and every green has multiple tiers. If you are not on the right tier of the green it quickly brings 3 putting into play. I had pretty high expectations going into our trip here and they exceeded it. Another very cool aspect of this course is the vibe to it. The clubhouse, practice facilities and overall amenities are on the level of a regular muni but the property and golf course are world class. I had never been to a place like that before. Ive watched videos of the laid back nature of golf in Scotland and to me it had a similar vibe. I have played 8 or 9 of the top 100 public courses according to Golf Digest and this one is right up there in terms of a golf course.

Amazing as always. Biggest hidden Gem in the Midwest. Best people to deal with. See you again tomorrow.

Played the Links today and it was a great test of golf, the course was in phenomenal shape. The course itself has so many ups n downs n hidden bunkers n such. As far as amenities it was more than a little disappointing, I don’t know the history or thought process of the course so to each their own. From the awkwardly small driving range to the lack of gps on the carts, the pro shop staff was actually pretty decent but the starter didn’t give us much help even though we told him it’s our first time there. I always go to a new course w open mind and open, Course, course maintenance n maintenance staff I give a 10… amenities I give a 3. Will I go back? Yep it’s a golf course thst makes you come back lol.

Beautiful place. Love the Woodlands Course. Very friendly and efficient staff. Will definitely be back.

Probably have not played there for round 18 years. Still just as beautiful and challenging. Staff very informative and friendly.

I have golfed at Lawsonia many times over the course of 40+ years and it has been one of my favorites. I recently golfed there with several friends and was quite frankly disappointed in the condition of the course. I understand weather plays a role in course conditions but this was different. Fairways were thin, greens not up to there usual standards and lastly the sand traps were horrible. The sand was caked, there were numerous large stones and grass growing in them. Obviously, these greens had not been touched in several days if not weeks. When we did see someone working on the course one of my friends asked about the condition of the traps and was told "it cost a lot of money to replace these traps". Very sad day as I have many fond memories of golfing here over the years. I do hope they get the money or new ownership that might be needed to restore a great classic course.

Honestly an absolutely wonderful experience. We packed the Dawson House this past weekend and played The Links Course on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Very reasonable prices for the golf, lodging and honestly the food as well. We all felt like we got an excellent value. The course is in great shape, and is just the right amount of challenging. Five stars easy.

The Links is an awesome classic track, Seth Raynor style. Was disappointed in the Woodlands course for a large management company they really have done a poor job of keeping the course up (Nice layout, bunkers and tee boxes were mostly unplayable). Also was extremely unimpressed with the service from the time I arrived, bag boys watched me carry my clubs from car and put them on the cart myself and seemed bothered when I asked how to get to the first tee. Go out of your way to play the Links and skip the Woodlands unless you here it got better, it’s not worth half what the Links is. Overall Links was a memorable rounds, will probably play again someday.

Spent past 2 days at the Golf Courses of Lawsonia as a course official for the WI Jr PGA. Course was in great shape, staff was awesome, and kids were blessed to play to VERY challenging courses. Thanks to the entire staff for putting on such a great event and next year I plan to come a day early so I can play a round!

Played both courses. Links is awesome and would be 5 stars. Woodlands would only be 3 stars. It seems that all of the money is put into the Links. Greens were great and bunkers well maintained. Woodlands is scenically beautiful but must be maintained better. Bunkers were terrible. Appeared to have not been raked in a couple of weeks as small bushes were growing in some. Also some tee boxes were awful. In particular. Too bad because it is a beautiful hole. Maybe cut down a couple trees so the tee box gets some afternoon sun? I will be back to play the Links but will pass on the Woodlands unless it is in better shape.

Great courses, great experience, great value. The Golf Courses of Lawsonia offers two distinctively deferent courses The Woods and The Links. The Links is ranked within the Top 100 courses in the nation offering open and firm fairways and quick greens. This course was much better maintained which is why it’s a Top 100 course. Whereas The Woods course has tighter tree lines fairways and a few nice views. It reminded me of up north golf in Minnesota. This course has a few burn spots around the course in the fairways but overall was very good.

Course was great, played on a crowded Saturday. Range space is limited but still decent to warm up. Staff was great, very attentive and helpful since we had never been there before and didn't know our way around. Played the Woodlands, will certainly come back to play the Links as that looks better maintained and harder course as well. The only reason i'd knock a star off (maybe only 1/2 star if I could) would be because the pace of play got to be a bit slow on the back 9. After hole 13 and several holes waiting with 1-2 other groups on tees, finally the ranger came out and kicked a group off a few hole ahead of us, which helped everyone get going again. Still played in 4:40, which on a Saturday at noon in June, is acceptable I guess — 2:00 on the front was great, 2:40 on the back was borderline on being a little unacceptable at a place with this type of reputation — but again, the ranger "asked that group to play golf elsewhere" which was awesome.

The links course was beautiful quite a challenge for high school sectionals to be at but a good experience for them. Only downside was the price of food $7 for a brat, $2 for a small bag of chips that was a bit pricey.

The Golf Courses of Lawsonia feature two of Wisconsin's best-quality championship layouts, the very impressive Links, rated 4-1/2 stars, and also well-rated Woodlands. As their names suggest, one is an open links-style layout in the British tradition, the other a well-crafted and challenging tree-lined parkland course. Lawsonia's Links course is a championship golf course that ranks with some of the best in Wisconsin.

One of my favorite courses that I've been to. Love being so close bye.

Links course has a beautiful layout. Could be a bit more manicured. Plays harder than the slope as the greens are all elevated, pitched and well bunkered.

Went out early on a Saturday morning. Breakfast in the clubhouse was good. Bloody's were nice and spicy. The links course is challenging and very fun to play. Shot placement is a must. I will be back.

The Links course is truly a special course. Once you get past the first two holes, which have blind tee shots, it is simply a marvelous experience. This is old-school golf which has a unique feel and flavor compared to all the modern courses that are available for play. Nearly every green is raised, but many offer a "run-up" from the front. The greens are truly firm and fast. You will not likely lose many balls (that's a plus worth about $6-$10 by itself) but it will absolutely test your game and take you back in time… that's a pretty good deal.

The Links is the best course in Wisconsin outside of Whistling Straits. Visually appealing, challenging but fair, and in impeccable condition. A hidden gem that has earned a rightful place in the top 100 in the country. Just superb. A must play for all golfers but especially for fans of Golden Era course architecture.
