LAKE LAWN RESORT
🇺🇸 Delavan, WI, USA
Designed by Dick Nugent


Lake Lawn is a resort course in Delavan, Wisconsin, designed by Dick Nugent and opened in 1968. The course sits on the southern shore of Delavan Lake in the Walworth County lake district, a region that has drawn vacationers from Chicago and Milwaukee since the late nineteenth century. Nugent, a Chicago-based architect who worked extensively throughout the Midwest during the 1960s and 1970s, routed the layout to incorporate the natural lakeside terrain and the rolling topography characteristic of this glacially formed landscape.
The course measures just over 6,600 yards from the back tees and plays as a parkland design with tree-lined fairways and water features that come into play on several holes. The proximity to Delavan Lake influences the setting, with views of the water from certain points on the property. The layout includes a mix of straightaway and dogleg holes that require accuracy more than length, typical of Nugent's approach to resort golf design during this period.
Lake Lawn Resort has operated as a year-round destination property for decades, and the golf course serves primarily resort guests and local members. The facility includes a clubhouse with dining options and practice areas. The course remains a fixture in the Delavan area golf scene, offering a traditional Midwest resort experience in a lakeside setting that has catered to recreational golfers for more than fifty years.
