Golf Buddy Trips - The Best Places to Golf, Eat and Stay in Southeastern Wisconsin

Pack the clubs and hit the road for a golf getaway featuring 3 of Wisconsin’s most memorable public-access golf destinations: The Golf Courses of Lawsonia, The Club at Lac La Belle and Grand Geneva Resort & Spa. From classic Golden Age architecture to modern championship golf, this trip combines outstanding courses with Wisconsin supper clubs, local restaurants, lake towns and excellent lodging.

Top 3 Public Access Golf Courses

1. The Golf Courses at Lawsonia — Green Lake, wi

Lawsonia is one of Wisconsin golf’s essential destinations, with 36 holes on two dramatically different courses. The nationally recognized Links Course was designed by William Langford and Theodore Moreau and opened in 1930. It features enormous elevated greens, bold bunkering, wide fairways and firm-and-fast playing characteristics. The adjoining Woodlands Course trades the openness of the Links for mature trees, elevation changes, strategic bunkering and views of Green Lake.

2. The club at lac la belle — Lac La Belle, wi

Dating to 1896, The Club at Lac La Belle combines one of Wisconsin golf’s oldest properties with a major modern redesign. The result is a visually distinctive course incorporating bold bunkering, wetlands, strategic green complexes and views toward Lac La Belle in Oconomowoc.

3. Grand geneva Resort & Spa — Lake Geneva

Grand Geneva gives the trip a perfect third destination with 36 holes of championship golf on The Brute and The Highlands. The Brute is the heavyweight. Designed by Robert Bruce Harris, the par-72 course stretches beyond 7,000 yards and features 68 bunkers and enormous rolling greens averaging more than 8,000 square feet. The Highlands provides a different test, with rolling terrain, wider playing corridors, elevation changes and a links-inspired character. Grand Geneva also has a new practice facility, resort accommodations, multiple dining choices and Wee Nip, an 11-hole short course that makes a great bonus round or evening competition for a buddy group.

Top 5 places to eat

1. Start or finish your round at Langford’s Pub, located directly inside the Lawsonia clubhouse and serving breakfast, lunch, drinks and seasonal specials. For dinner, Chops is the upscale choice for steaks, seafood and cocktails. For the quintessential Wisconsin experience, Norton's of Green Lake is a longtime lakeside supper-club destination with prime rib, fish fry and waterfront views. For something more casual, downtown Green Lake offers pizza, burgers and neighborhood taverns.

2. The easiest post-round stop is Rivalry Pub, located directly at The Club at Lac La Belle. Downtown Oconomowoc is also worth exploring. Twisted Fire specializes in live-fire and wood-fired cooking and has a strong cocktail program. Wine Maniacs Wine Bar & Bistro is a good choice when the group wants a more food-and-wine-oriented dinner.

3. For convenience, stay on property and grab drinks or a meal at Links Bar & Grill, overlooking The Brute and the resort’s private lake. For a night downtown, Medusa Grill & Bistro is one of Lake Geneva’s better-reviewed dinner destinations, particularly for wood-fired meats and seafood. For a more casual setting with lake views, Oakfire specializes in wood-fired pizza right along the downtown lakefront.

top 5 Places to Stay

1. Lawsonia On-Site Lodging — three lodging options are available within a short walk of the golf courses, making this the easiest option for groups that want to park the vehicles and focus on golf. For a more traditional Green Lake stay, McConnell Inn is a highly rated historic B&B near downtown. Terrace Beach Retreat offers a small lakefront cottage-style experience, while Heidel House Hotel & Conference Center provides a larger waterfront resort environment. The most convenient off-site lodging (it’s located across the road from the property) when playing Lawsonia is the Acorn Ridge Motel a retro/mid-century (1950’s) feel rather than a traditional resort atmosphere that has modernized the rooms while retaining the property's vintage character.

2. Grand Geneva Resort & Spa. Staying where you play eliminates transportation after dinner and drinks and gives the group access to the broader resort experience. For golfers wanting to stay downtown, Seven Oaks Bed & Breakfast is one of the area's highest-rated boutique properties.

3. For something unique, Mon Bijou is a boutique hotel housed in a restored Victorian Gothic mansion near Fowler Lake and downtown Oconomowoc. For groups preferring traditional hotel rooms, TownePlace Suites by Marriott Oconomowoc is a great option, while Hilton Garden Inn Oconomowoc includes a restaurant, indoor pool and hot tub. The Club also specifically recommends the historic Inn at Pine Terrace, overlooking Fowler Lake near downtown Oconomowoc.
