Give Our Readers An Overview of the Golf Course/Property
Lawsonia offers two different Championship Golf Courses being the famous Links Course ranked #3 in the State of Wisconsin "Golfweek" or the complete opposite Woodland Course. Come play both in one day and feel like you traveled the world around in just 8 hours! The Links has fescue, huge bunkers, and greens that will bring you to your knee's. While the Woodlands will entertain you with its beautiful wildlife and contrast of different holes in a park like setting. Come and play in Scotland/Ireland on the Links in the morning, then onto Augusta and the tall pines that surround you on the Woodlands. Lawsonia is a real special place to play, and will bring you memories for a lifetime.
