The Golf Courses of Lawsonia, located at Green
Lake Conference Center, are rich with history.
The Links course was built by the H. O. Stone
Company in 1930. Designers William Langford
and Theodore Moreau traveled to Scotland to
sketch and photograph famous golf holes at
links-style courses before laying out Lawsonia
with multi-tiered greens, some 90 bunkers and
deep rough. A true links golf experience in
Wisconsin!
There is a railroad boxcar buried under the
seventh green on the Links to create the
elevation. This was installed by Al Gelhar, whose
local A. F. Gelhar sand mining company is run by
his grandson Jim today.
In the 1930s the course hosted the Little
Lawsonia Open which drew Ben Hogan, Sam
Snead and Byron Nelson.
The first nine of the Woodlands Course was
added in 1983, and the second nine opened in
1991. Set in a remarkable Wisconsin landscape,
the Woodlands includes beautiful tree-lined
fairways, stunning views of Green Lake, and a
famous par 3 with a 65’ drop!
