The links at Lawsonia is very over-rated. The conditions of a course charging $133.00 for a round of golf were very disappointing. From tee to green, the conditions were very dry, surprisingly with a beautiful large, deep Green Lake to keep fairways and greens soft and playable. If you want a great links course at half the value travel south to Washington County Golf Course in Hartford, WI. Great layout, super nice people and conditions were perfect. Myself and my group will not return to Lawsonia, it is too bad as I heard too many good things.

The Lawsonia Links course is challenging but very playable. Elevated greens reward those who can hit a high ball that sticks. Bunkers around the elevated greens are the risk for an errant shot. Greens roll nicely. I can't say enough good things about the staff- they are friendly and helpful. And, even on a busy weekend day, the rounds still flow at only a bit over 4 hours. Marshalls help with that as well. This is the kind of course that makes me want to play it again and again so I get better at it. A top notch golf course.

Both courses were in great shape and fun to play! The driving range is blind after about 100 yards which is weird but works. The bartender was slow and not very attentive but overall a great course and would definitely recommend.. Bring plenty of balls if youre playing the woodlands course!

Going to say some constructively negative things, but I’m still definitely going back! The links course, though, was AMAZING and so fun. Upon arrival, we were not greeted at the bag drop (employees were joking with vulgarity to the side and didn’t even notice us). When we entered the clubhouse and paid $100 each, no instructions or explanation of where to go was offered. We arrived early to warm up, but the range was closed (they could have texted everyone with a tee time). The greens on the back nine were a little too beaten up and inconsistent.

What’s happening to Lawsonia? I’ve historically been one of the biggest Lawsonia stans, but cannot give the experience more than 3 stars anymore. No walking rate tells me all I need to know. I will also echo the recent comments about conditions…it’s like there’s no grounds crew keeping an eye on things. Greens were the worst I’ve seen and the fairways degrading due to all the cart traffic. All for the highest prices ever. Seems to me that the recent success and popularity of the course has made management forget what makes this course great. It all starts with good conditions, getting more walkers on course, and not jacking the prices. Not sure if I will be back for my yearly buddies trip and surely moving Lawsonia down my list of favorite courses.
