Lakeshore Municipal Golf Club

Lakeshore Municipal Golf Club sits along the western shore of Lake Winnebago in Oshkosh, Wisconsin. The course was designed by Garrett Gill and Paul Miller, architects who worked primarily in the upper Midwest during the mid-twentieth century. As a municipal facility, Lakeshore serves the Oshkosh community and visitors to the Fox Valley region, offering public golf in a lakeside setting that distinguishes it from many inland Wisconsin courses. The routing takes advantage of the property's proximity to Lake Winnebago, with several holes playing near or along the shoreline. The terrain is relatively flat, characteristic of the glacial lake plain that defines this part of eastern Wisconsin, though subtle elevation changes and mature tree growth provide definition between holes. The lake itself influences play on exposed holes, where wind off the water can affect club selection and strategy. The course reflects the straightforward design principles common to municipal golf in its era, emphasizing playability for a range of skill levels while incorporating natural features where the land allows. Lakeshore functions as an accessible daily-fee option in a city with a strong recreational golf tradition, and its lakefront location remains its most distinctive characteristic. The facility includes standard municipal amenities and serves both regular local play and occasional regional events typical of Wisconsin public courses.
