Lawsonia Links is a golden-age masterpiece that every architecture fan should experience. Massive fairways, bold template greens, and strategic bunkering reward creativity over power.

17 par 3s that can played with just your putter if you wanted. While some holes are templates of real holes such as the road hole others are truly unique. The course is just as well manicured as the main courses on property and the nearby food truck is unbelievable.

Awesome, fun, beautiful. Completely different feel than the rest of the courses on property. Much more heathland style. Really interesting mix of holes as a par 68, but certainly isn’t a “short course”. Wide corridors, but angles to pins matters a ton. Greens are classic Doak.

The fairways remain lush atop miles of ancient dunes, while the natural fescue and native grasses provide an authentic test for golfers of all levels. The service is world-class—welcoming from the moment you arrive. Caddies are knowledgeable and personable…

How we rank
This ranking uses each golfer’s value rating, on a 0.5–5 scale. Value is how worth the price a golfer felt the round was. Only public and guest-friendly courses are ranked, since private clubs rarely have value ratings. Every golfer counts once per course: repeat rounds are averaged first, then the course score is the average across golfers. A course needs value ratings from at least 5 different golfers. Ties go to the course with more golfers, then the higher Course Vaults score. Only open courses with a published Course Vaults score (at least 5 explicit ratings) are eligible, and a page is published only when at least 5 courses qualify. State pages include courses across Wisconsin. Rankings refresh about hourly.
