Lawsonia (Woodlands)
Carved out of forests of oak, maple and pine trees by Joe Lee’s design partner William “Rocky” Roquemore in the 1980s, the Woodlands course at Lawsonia Golf Club is a much tighter route than its older sibling, the Links course.
Lawsonia has become a must-visit for fans of Golden Architecture following the restoration of its Langford and Moreau Links course, however thoughts of growth began at the property much earlier. William "Rocky" Roquemore, an associate of Joe Lee, laid out the Woodlands route during the ‘80s.
Although the name of this 18 clearly sets expectations for the mature woodland to come, this course also features lake views and the same quarries experienced on the Links 18, and Roquemore created a set of heavily rolling greens, albeit in a style unique from the Langford and Moreau putting surfaces on the other side of the property.
Although some may see Lawsonia’s remote location as an impediment, the Woodland course — along with the continued attention to the Links course — makes Lawsonia a worthwhile 36-hole day for golfers looking to make a weekend trip from Milwaukee.
The latest ranking of the Top 100 Golf Courses in the World serves as the ultimate global golf bucket list. Most members of our World Top 100 Panel are seasoned golfers, each playing 20-30 of these courses annually while travelling extensively over decades to form their opinions on others. We recognise that opinions vary—even among our panel members. Rankings are subjective, and there are undoubtedly 50 or more courses in the UK and USA alone that could easily fit onto this list.
