The Golf Courses of Lawsonia

Rooted in the golden age of golf course design, The Links at Lawsonia offers a bold and timeless experience unlike anything else in the Midwest. Designed by William Langford and Theodore Moreau in 1930, this classic links-style layout is famous for its massive elevated greens, deep bunkers, wide fairways, and dramatic land movement—shaped entirely with steam shovels and vision. Recognized as one of the country’s best preserved golden age courses that remains open to the public, Lawsonia delivers an authentic and enduring golf experience. Every round on The Links is a walk through history, where each shot demands strategy, creativity, and confidence. The open layout invites the wind to play a role, and the bold contours make every bounce an adventure. It’s a course that challenges without overwhelming—a favorite of purists, architects, and anyone who loves the game at its roots.
