Lawsonia (Links)
The Golf Courses of Lawsonia feature two of Wisconsin's best-quality championship layouts, the very impressive Links 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. The Links course is a championship golf course that ranks with some of the best in Wisconsin.
This open, links-style layout provides a wonderful test for your all-round game, with many attractive, skilfully crafted and challenging holes to enjoy. The layout features gently rolling terrain, bent grass fairways and multi-tiered, elevated, moderately fast greens that are surrounded by 90 strategically placed, steep-faced bunkers. Deep rough and large snaking sand traps are also to be found alongside the fairways. A must play if you are in the area.
Stay&Play at Lawsonia Links: although not a full golf resort, Lawsonia offers a Stay&Play opportunity with two onsite rental houses.
Visitors welcome on weekdays and weekends.
Must book in advance.
Non-metal spike facility. Walking permitted on the Links course, but on weekends green fee is the same whether walking or using a cart. Golf cart compulsory on Woodland course. Golf carts are fitted with GPS.

Women’s (British) Open: the last women’s major championship of the season is hosted by Royal Porthcawl GC. It’s the first time this fabulous seaside links course has hosted the event (July 31-Aug 3).
Walker Cup: the 50th playing of this prestigious men’s amateur event sees the GB&I go head-to-head against the defending USA team at Cypress Point Club, California (Sept 6-7). After that, all eyes turn to Bethpage State Park on Long Island, NY, where the American and defending European professional teams engage in the 45th Ryder Cup (Sept 27-29).
Lottie Woad: 21-year-old Woad burst onto the professional scene in July, with wins in the Women’s Irish Open (as an amateur) and three weeks later in the Women’s Scottish Open (as a professional). She nearly picked-up a major championship, placing third in The Evian in the same month.
Pádraig Harrington: the ever-likeable Irishman added the (British) Senior Open Championship title to his stellar array of tournament successes. His win came on Sunningdale’s spectacular Old Course. Harrington had already bagged the U.S. Senior Open title in June this year.
