There’s no better choice to host our Open Championship this August than a course steeped in history and tradition. Located just under two hours from Milwaukee—mirroring the long journey overseas for U.S.-based PGA pros—the Links at Lawsonia draws inspiration from British Open Championship holes. Designed in the early 1930s, just before the Great Depression, its construction cost an extraordinary $250,000, equivalent to nearly $300 million today.

This marks the second appearance of Langford & Moreau on our tour, a duo whose iconic style is etched across the Midwest. Lawsonia – Links is widely regarded as their best-preserved work, showcasing dramatic earth shaping to create a true masterpiece on the 1,000-acre Victor Lawson estate overlooking Green Lake in Central Wisconsin.

Since 2000, a tree-clearing program has restored The Links to its original, treeless state, allowing the wind to once again become a defining factor. Showered with accolades, including a ranking as high as 58th on Golf Digest’s 100 Greatest Public Courses in America, this storied venue promises to deliver a memorable conclusion to our fourth and final major of the season.
