Woodlands at Lawsonia Golf Course
Rating Snapshot
About
There are two 18-hole courses available at Lawsonia Golf Course in Green Lake, the Woodlands and the Links. As their names would suggest, the courses have a completely different character from the other. Unlike the wide-open, nearly treeless Links, the Woodlands is enclosed by forests of mature hardwoods. The stands of oak, maple, pine, elm, and walnut trees carry not only the course's beauty but they also provide a home to an abundance of wildlife including whitetail deer, hawks, eagles, and wild turkeys. The fairways are densely lined with trees and are made even tighter thanks to the help of 80 strategically placed traps. The layout is considered a modern target golf course with dramatic elevation changes and large, fast greens that are heavily guarded. The second hole is memorable for the historic landmark that serves as its centerpiece. This par 4 plays around a 90-year-old quarry donned with the historic Judson Tower.

The Woodlands
Always love to play this course with it's diverse and scenic holes and challenging layout!
The course was awesome
The course was great and challenging
The staff was great we had car issues and we were late and they went out of there way to make sure we had a great experience
Fun and challenging
Course can be challenging and the greens tricky but what a fun day of golf !!! Course is in great shape, friendly staff and what a beautiful setting on Green Lake
Great place to play!
Course was in excellent shape. Greens were closely mown,fast but not unfair. Would play the Woodlands more if we were closer to the course.
Lovely course
My wife & I enjoyed a great day of golf on the Woodlands course. Oceans of sand greeted us but we loved it regardless. Thanks for the fun day.
Very good and challenging course
We have played the Woodlands course several times over the past years and always enjoy it. The course rewards you for staying in the fairway and even then trees can be in your way on the next shot. While I gave the course a very good rating there are a couple of cons.
The sand in the bunkers is not up to par for a course of this level. The sand was hard and hard fairly large pebbles in it.
It is nearly impossible to stop a putt on the 18th green without having it roll off the front of the green.
Great mix of hole types.
The course is in GREAT shape. The greens were super.
Awesome deal. Course in great shape for October.
I would consider myself very lucky to live only 15 minutes away from Lawsonia. Very affordable rates during the fall. Course in great shape and the staff was very friendly. Only compliant is that that the 18th green is way too fast, making for circus golf.
Great Course
Not too long, but pretty tight and very difficult and fast greens.
Love the greens and overall condition
Fairways were aerated, otherwise no complaints on the course. Played as a twosome and had no delays which allowed us to finish in less than 4 hrs. Just great!
Overated, overpriced
Staff appeared disinterested, cart lady was rude, course was in poor condition overall. Sand traps appeared to have had no attention for weeks. Greens were good. Nice layout. Too bad it is not kept in better condition. Course workers in the way several times. Painfully slow pace of play. No rangers to move along the folks that have no respect for others. Too many other nice courses around for me to waste my money on this one. Do yourself a favor and play somewhere else.
Every hole was beautiful and fun to play
There is not a more beautiful course in Wisconsin. Great day and great weather. Will be back!
fun, beautiful , nice true greens very unique cut out of the woods
very nice condition , great elevation changes lots of woods, bring plenty of golf balls big green very true.
The course very picturesque
I always enjoy playing the Golf Courses at Lawsonia
Woodlands is a marvelous track set in a special setting adjacent to Green Lake
Interesting course with each hole presenting a different challenge with sand , water and mature trees.
Course uses hilly terrain to create dramatic vistas and requires thoughtful approach shots.
Greens have challenging breaks but rolled smoothly.
A special place and a must play for serious golfers.
Lawsonia
For a deal I don't mind the long drive to play what I feel is the better of the 2 courses. The Links gets the ratings, but if you love carved out of the forest golf this is the track to play. Bent grass fairways and greens, real sand in the bunkers.
Gorgeous, challenging course
If you're looking for a well-maintained course with both beauty and a good challenge, this is one of the finest in the area! Rolling landscape, pristine greens, great staff. You won't be disappointed!
played at 2pm. for $30, great deal for that price.
would of gave it five stars but the very few people that don't how to walk on the greens with spikes can wreck a green in a short time. there was at least 4 greens that were almost impossible to put on. Other wise it is a great course .
Great views. Challenging. Slow play.
Great value thru Golfnow saving over 70%; maybe that's why we got stuck behind some kind of best ball outing. These guys must have been playing for big money!
Love the Greens on Lawsonia
The Woodlands Course is in excellent condition. Keep up the good work.
