The Links opened in 1930 offering Scottish-style links golf, with open – nearly treeless – rolling terrain, huge, quick, elevated, undulating greens, sand traps surrounding each green and giant fairway bunkers on many holes.

GolfWeek ranks the Links Course as the number three overall course in Wisconsin. 4 ½ star rating by Golf Digest.

This idyllic setting is home to wildlife, including deer and turkeys on the fairways, and eagles nesting in the talk pines. Lawsonia was recognized by Golf Digest as “One of American’s Best and Most Affordable Public Golf Facilities” and named “Wisconsin Golf Course of the Year 2008” by the WI Golf Course Owners Association. The Zagat Guidebook rated both the Links and the Woodlands as “Extraordinary.”

Mascoutin Golf Club is located an easy drive 6 miles north of Green Lake. Mascoutin offers 27 holes of championship golf on gently rolling fairways that were home to the fire-worshiping Mascoutin Indians 300 years ago. Opened in 1975 with 18 holes and adding nin additional holes in 1999, Mascoutin now offers plush fairways, nearly 80 bunkers, large fast greens and water that comes into play on six holes.

Mascoutin Golf Club
Some 300 years ago, fire worshiping Native American Indians lived in Mascoutin, a village just south of Berlin. It is in this gently rolling setting that Larry Packard, in 1975, carved out a magnificent 18-hole golf course through century old trees. Giant undulating greens test your putting ability and sand traps galore wait to swallow an errant shot. Water hazards come into play on the final four holes.With bent-grass fairways and overall superb conditioning, the layout appeals to golfers of all abilities. In 1999, Mascoutin opened a new mystifying nine designed by Rick Jacobson.
The "Blue" nine features waste bunkering, elevation changes, forced natural hazard carries, river views, water hazards, and even a "cliff" hole making it a spectacular golfing experience. Come play Mascoutin, "Wisconsin's Best Kept Secret". Site of the 2006 WSGA State Amateur Championship.
