LAKEWOODS RESORT

The dense Northwoods canopy frames every shot on this Robert Trent Jones Sr. design, where towering pines and birch groves create natural corridors that demand precision over power. Lake Namakagon's shoreline comes into play on three holes, including a stunning par-3 that plays directly over the water to a peninsula green guarded by century-old white pines. The elevation changes are subtle but strategic, with greens that tilt toward the lake and reward golfers who understand how Wisconsin's glacial terrain influences ball flight and putting lines.
