A contextual Grassy shortlist

Where should a 50-person Midwest golf trip go next?

A returning group of about 50 golfers wants a new Midwest destination for its fourth annual trip and would prefer two or more courses in the mix.

The shortlist

Start with Golf Courses of Lawsonia, then compare the tradeoffs.

None of these venues is confirmed for 50. Each card includes the first access question to resolve.

01Best first call

Green Lake, Wisconsin

Golf Courses of Lawsonia

Two different 18-hole courses share one property, which keeps transfers simple while still giving the group two distinct rounds.

Courses to build around

Lawsonia asks large or multi-day groups to call or email. Treat that as a planning path, not confirmation that a 50-player block is open.

02Deepest on-site course mix

Nekoosa, Wisconsin

Sand Valley

The resort has several distinct courses and on-site lodging, so organizers can build variety without turning every round into a road trip.

Courses to build around

Sand Valley describes its golf courses as walking-only. Confirm 50-player routing, lodging, mobility needs, caddie policies and replay rules directly.

03Bucket-list course variety

Kohler and Haven, Wisconsin

Kohler and Sheboygan

Whistling Straits and Blackwolf Run provide multiple full-length course options across two nearby golf properties, with very different looks from round to round.

Courses to build around

This page makes no affordability claim. Confirm large-group access, lodging requirements, transportation, caddie policies and replay rules directly with Kohler Golf.

04Best change of scenery

French Lick and Jasper, Indiana

French Lick Resort and Sultan's Run

The resort pairs Pete Dye and Donald Ross courses, while Sultan's Run adds a third full-length option about 30 minutes away in Jasper.

Courses to build around

Overnight guests receive priority access to the resort courses, and Sultan's Run requires separate ground transport. Confirm whether 50-player blocks can be coordinated across the itinerary.

How this was built

Useful first, honest all the way through.

Built by Grassy from a public community question. This answer is a transparent editorial starting point, not a claim of live inventory, current pricing or guaranteed group access.

  1. 1

    The destination and course mix was checked against each venue's official planning pages.

  2. 2

    Course identity, Grassy links, scores and rating counts were cross-checked against current Grassy course records and the canonical slug registry.

  3. 3

    Live tee-time inventory, group capacity, lodging, prices and replay policies were not verified.

Before anyone books

A few honest answers.

Are any of these venues confirmed for 50 golfers?

No. This is a planning shortlist, not a booking confirmation. The organizer must confirm outing capacity, dates, lodging, prices and replay policies directly with each venue.

Why are some Grassy scores hidden?

The page shows the Grassy rating count for every listed course, but shows a numeric score only when at least three ratings existed in the August 20, 2026 data snapshot.

Is Grassy affiliated with this answer?

Yes. Grassy built and published this page, and the save-list links point to the Grassy app. The venue links point directly to each destination's official planning page.

What should the organizer do first?

Send the same written request to each finalist with player count, target dates, round count, lodging needs, transport needs and desired replay format, then compare confirmed responses.
