My dad and I were the first public to play Lawsonia's Wood course. This was perhaps the late 80s. We got there, tee'd off and while playing, passed the town's mayor who was supposed to be the first, had no idea who he was. When we finished all the employees were on the 18th waiting for the mayor to give him a portrait and frame for his scorecard. Due to his slow play we ended up with the plaque! LOVE THIS COURSE... Fun fact: Lawsonia has a lot of crowned greens. To make that happen many greens have subway cars (and who knows what else) buried under them to create the raised crown and help irrigate.
When I saw the title I thought this is a collaboration with Randy from Fried Eggs golf. It was not, but this was another great video. Dang, EAL team, you are pushing out so much great content.
Did anyone else notice that the caddie was like a spitting image of Colt? Kinda crazy. I hope you tipped him well. 30 years of experience as a caddie should really be recognized! :p
Great collab with Andy from the Fried Egg! As a fellow architecture nerd, I geek out on his podcasts and newsletter, wish he did more video content like this...so good! Thanks again Erik.
I just really appreciate the type of video you put out in regards to the way you present the course and history of the game so to speak. Which makes your channel a notch above everyone else. Thanks man
Been binging on your videos lately - what a channel. Thank you for all of the work you and Colt put into these videos. It’s golf escapism for the guys like me that will never get to play these courses.
Played here this summer and have to say it’s truly a hidden gem. I’ve been fortunate to play some of the great courses in the US, Ireland and Scotland and would put Lawsonia up there with any of them. Chicago Golf is similar but I like Lawsonia better. Great video.
You and No Laying Up should do some sort of collab. I'm sure there's a bit of a rivalry, but both channels have a very different feel and there's no reason you can't co-exist with each other
I’m a big fan of your work! Your doing a great job of bringing these great places to us. Thank you for everything you do. Your positivity really comes through on our end. It’s very refreshing. Well done sir and remember to enjoy it.
I do lawsonia every summer. play both courses. the woodlands is great also. 2 totally different styles. and wonderfully nice people in green lake where we stay. u can't beat it!!
very, very, excited to see that you have your own channel outside of adventures of Golf. Looking forward to watching a whole new source of great content from you!
Thanks, absolutely great watching. To hear someone talk with such passion about design and the role of a golf course in history, and designers , with knowledge, just great. Oops, bit geeky!
Years ago, I directed a junior golf camp at Lawsonia...we had Betsy King who at the time was the #1 female player in the world, come in to be with the kids, and she commented it would have been a great LPGA tournament course. Always loved BOTH courses there!
My dog is my one of my best friends and having the opportunity to golf with her would be priceless. She’s a Pomeranian so I’d have to carry her for 15 holes, but still worth it. Living in SE NC which has a uptight vibe about golf.....NO DOGS ALLOWED Great vlog Erik, Colt swing looks like he is the best player out there.
Love that you took a dog out on the course. When I was playing in England, it seemed there were dogs everywhere. Don't see that much in the US. In fact, not sure if I EVER have.
Obsessed with this channel. Thank you, excellent work! I would agree that Lawsonia is more fun than Whistling Straights...and about $500 cheaper! Love Lawsonia.
Erik! You want the best links course outside of Scotland? Links of North Dakota in Williston ND. 30 miles from town down a gravel road literally in the middle of absolutely no where and gets very little play yet it’s the #1 course in ND and top 100 in America. I may be biased because it’s my home course but thankfully my talent has blessed me to play all over the U.S. at some of our greatest courses. If you are ever gonna be in the area and want truly one of the most underrated and best hidden gems in America give me a shout!👌 Fairways and Greens🏌️♂️⛳️ -B.J. Mahar
You can bring snowball and play in jeans at the links of ND too! And very affordable. Plus you’ll get a great day blessed with some incredible views and never and I mean never have to worry about slow play!
Lawsonia ran a promotion recently: Tuesdays in May during the Covid-19 quarantine, you could name your own price to play the Links Course. Easily the best golf value ever, anywhere, even at the normal rates.
I don’t engage in any sort of social media so you probably will not read this but I would like to wish you a Happy Christmas and wish you all the best for 2019 and to thank you for the beautiful films you have created this year Erik.
Lawsonia Links is a real gem! In my top 5, but when I'm playing it, I don't want to be anywhere else, it's #1. Too bad the boys look like they caught a soggy day. The Links usually plays fast and firm. The USGA's Mike Davis said these might be the best set of greens in the USA. I won't argue.
I am 15 minutes away from Lawsonia and loved the vid! Be sure to check out Mascoutin the next time you are up. Gorgeous course and people from all over come to play the blue nine. About 10 minutes from Lawsonia!
If you're ever back in Eastern North Carolina again you should check out the public course North Green in Rocky Mount. Pretty cool course and a solid back 9.
Great video! If you are ever In the Chicagoland area, swing by cantigny, one of the best public golf courses in the country. It is 5 minutes away from Chicago golf, the first 18-hole course in America, good luck getting in though!
I love lawsonia, im from wisconsin and have played the links 4 times and the woodlands 2. It is such a fun place and stacks up with the best of em, Erin, Whistling and Sand Valley. its fantastic. Hope you get the chance to play Mammoth Dunes Eric, it is one of the most fun golf course you will ever play.
You should do a special on Pete Dye and play some of his Indiana courses! A stunning one in French Lick (home of Larry Bird), a very public and relaxed Sahms Golf course (perfect beginner course that shows just how far Dye has come), and plenty more to choose from (Plum Creek is one of my favorites). Just an idea, but it would be really cool to see the roots of a legend!
I’m ashamed to say as a Wisconsin resident that I just played that course for the first time this fall. The shame happened after I discovered the beauty of this course and how budget friendly it is.
Lawsonia is a MUCH better golf course than Whistling. Wisconsin golf is unreal. Sand Valley is best on my list anywhere with my experience at Lawsonia being UNREAL. What a treat. Whistling was terrible but I am sure would be better if I play it again.....but Sand Valley and Lawsonia .........Just the bets pure golf trip you might ever make.
Just played 36 holes here one the most beautiful and challenging courses I’ve ever played. The links are absolutely amazing along with their woodlands course.
I thought so, but I was wrong. My regular golf buddy brought his dog one day and she was absolutely awesome to have around, even finding two of my golf balls in the rough and saving my score (and some frustration). In fact, when he gets to the course now without her, I am disappointed. If the dog is well enough trained, they are a pleasure!
Ok only time I didn't play bunkers In Chicago 36 degrees frozen ground I didn't use tees...frozen ground Frozen water in bunkers Couldn't remove flag....frozen in hole Wouldn't risk life getting ball off frozen lakes Used 3 wood on tee boxes
Well, you want to do a cool show on golf in NYC then you go to Van Cortlandt in the Bronx. The oldest public gold course in the US. Just fantastic. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Van_Cortlandt_Park
Until you play PGA West or any Pete Dye in Palm Desert, CA. He takes flat pieces of land and DESTROYS YOUR SCORECARD with grass bunkers, blind approaches, 20 foot tall greenside bunkers.

Me too... I was seriously stoked. This was a good video but I'm still disappointed.
Me too. Wish Randy can make some more but he got a "real" job now. Wish you well Randy.
And you too Tim.
Did anyone else notice that the caddie was like a spitting image of Colt? Kinda crazy. I hope you tipped him well. 30 years of experience as a caddie should really be recognized! :p
Great collab with Andy from the Fried Egg! As a fellow architecture nerd, I geek out on his podcasts and newsletter, wish he did more video content like this...so good! Thanks again Erik.
Hard to express how happy this video makes me. From the beauty of Lawsonia to the doggos. Much love EAL❤️
The world needs more collaborations with Andy. Thanks for bringing your visual element to his point of view.
I just really appreciate the type of video you put out in regards to the way you present the course and history of the game so to speak. Which makes your channel a notch above everyone else. Thanks man
Just 2 cool cats and some golf...love it
I believe those are dogs
Been binging on your videos lately - what a channel.
Thank you for all of the work you and Colt put into these videos. It’s golf escapism for the guys like me that will never get to play these courses.
I love playing Lawsonia every summer with my grandpa.
Played here this summer and have to say it’s truly a hidden gem. I’ve been fortunate to play some of the great courses in the US, Ireland and Scotland and would put Lawsonia up there with any of them. Chicago Golf is similar but I like Lawsonia better. Great video.

Love your vlogs! Gives the game of golf another dimension than all those swing clips.
Finally Wisconsin gets to show off it's great golf. Well done Erik
Me and my buddies are going up there this May and boy oh boy am I even more pumped. Great video!
I love Andy and his podcast..amazing to see what he looks like
I’m a big fan of your work! Your doing a great job of bringing these great places to us. Thank you for everything you do. Your positivity really comes through on our end. It’s very refreshing. Well done sir and remember to enjoy it.
I do lawsonia every summer. play both courses. the woodlands is great also. 2 totally different styles. and wonderfully nice people in green lake where we stay. u can't beat it!!
where do you stay in green lake?
Every single video is gold. Must watch content. Keep it up, the algorithm will recognize it soon enough.
very, very, excited to see that you have your own channel outside of adventures of Golf. Looking forward to watching a whole new source of great content from you!
Thanks, absolutely great watching. To hear someone talk with such passion about design and the role of a golf course in history, and designers , with knowledge, just great. Oops, bit geeky!
Love this video, and the music. I feel lucky to be a golfer right now with you guys doing your thing. This stuff makes me love golf even more.
Another great video, from a channel that only puts out great videos. How you can have only 18K subscribers is beyond my comprehension.

Thank you Erik for getting me through my hangover I have binged watched every video on your channel angel in disguise much love
Love that you took a dog out on the course. When I was playing in England, it seemed there were dogs everywhere. Don't see that much in the US. In fact, not sure if I EVER have.
Thank you Erik for the great golf videos you give us! There are hidden gems in sweden to play aswell.
Just added Lawsonia to my golf course bucket list. Thanks for another great video.
Obsessed with this channel. Thank you, excellent work! I would agree that Lawsonia is more fun than Whistling Straights...and about $500 cheaper! Love Lawsonia.

Me and my grandpa did that. We camp right across the road and had a great time

Lived in WI for 5 years now and had no idea this place exists... Looking forward to checking it out

Played here this summer easily best course I have played
I am 15 minutes away from Lawsonia and loved the vid! Be sure to check out Mascoutin the next time you are up. Gorgeous course and people from all over come to play the blue nine. About 10 minutes from Lawsonia!
Played Lawsonia for our college conference tournament, one of the funnest courses I've played, definitely tested the flat stick those four rounds.
Can't wait to see the state am take on this place next summer. I love Lawsonia.
Play this course twice a year so cool
Best video yet. Well done!
If you're ever back in Eastern North Carolina again you should check out the public course North Green in Rocky Mount. Pretty cool course and a solid back 9.
Best Golf vlogs on you tube.
Great video! If you are ever In the Chicagoland area, swing by cantigny, one of the best public golf courses in the country. It is 5 minutes away from Chicago golf, the first 18-hole course in America, good luck getting in though!
Wow! Another great video and a Rockstar idea.... Your Canada trip list, just added a rented a limo 🍁👍
I love lawsonia, im from wisconsin and have played the links 4 times and the woodlands 2. It is such a fun place and stacks up with the best of em, Erin, Whistling and Sand Valley. its fantastic. Hope you get the chance to play Mammoth Dunes Eric, it is one of the most fun golf course you will ever play.
You should have fished Green for some smallies! That place is pure fire!
Love it boys! What a trio of moves on you fellas! Ya'll all shoot 75 out there?
Spent some great days on this golf course
Always love the music you guys have in the background. Where do you find it all?
Great video!
Course looks amazing!
Excellent film.
You should do a special on Pete Dye and play some of his Indiana courses! A stunning one in French Lick (home of Larry Bird), a very public and relaxed Sahms Golf course (perfect beginner course that shows just how far Dye has come), and plenty more to choose from (Plum Creek is one of my favorites).

Such a sick video!
I would have loved to seen Randy from fried eggs golf! That is why I clicked! Oh and I just like the golf
fantastic video! love it
There's a hole in the wall course 1.5 hrs north of St. Louis, MO that you would love.
Andy rocking the Glen View Club qtr zip
This is golf nerd porn, Erik! Thanks man! I honestly want to stop and play Lawsonia even more than Erin Hills or Whistling Straights.
Holy shit, a course vlog in my neck of the woods! I'll have to check it out this summer
I live 35 minutes from here. Amazing course for the money. They're hosting the state am next year.
If I live until Oct I will play it!
At 8:23 he putted with the club backwards and I don’t think anyone else noticed. And I camp right across the road from place.
How big of a cut do you normally play? With that held off follow through it looks like you play left to right
I’m ashamed to say as a Wisconsin resident that I just played that course for the first time this fall. The shame happened after I discovered the beauty of this course and how budget friendly it is.
Hey Bro, you should come and Visit Panamá. We have really nice golf clubs here. Really cool for a Central America Season ?
Keeney Park in Hartford is an amazing public course
I ve played 4 Langford’s and they are great Erik: your grooming could use a renovation or possibly a rebuild
Great video!!!
My home course is a Langford Moreau. I can see a lot of similarities.
Lawsonia is a MUCH better golf course than Whistling. Wisconsin golf is unreal. Sand Valley is best on my list anywhere with my experience at Lawsonia being UNREAL. What a treat. Whistling was terrible but I am sure would be better if I play it again.....but Sand Valley and Lawsonia .........Just the bets pure golf trip you might ever make.
oh heck yeah !!!
I need to know what these songs you got playing in the background are.
Just played 36 holes here one the most beautiful and challenging courses I’ve ever played. The links are absolutely amazing along with their woodlands course.
the woodlands is really good. no slouch herself!!!
Obligatory why does this channel not have more subs comment
finding places for golfers to play and not pay 400usd, that's the soul of the game. it is indeed
Great video
Now that I know you can bring the pups, I'm definitely going. Maybe in a limo... 😂
Come join us for next years league!!! LA’s #1 golf league for young adults
bet the dogs loved it
No offense, but Violet and Snowball really stole the show ;)
I love dogs but holy cow that would get annoying on the course. I’d always be worried about hitting them.
I thought so, but I was wrong. My regular golf buddy brought his dog one day and she was absolutely awesome to have around, even finding two of my golf balls in the rough and saving my score (and some frustration). In fact, when he gets to the course now without her, I am disappointed. If the dog is well enough trained, they are a pleasure!
Is there a connection between Randy and Fried Egg you tube channel and this guy; Andy? I’m confused
Only time ive been in a limo was to go see an eagles concert as well haha
you should come and play the Pete Dye in French Lick, IN
Ok only time I didn't play bunkers
In Chicago 36 degrees frozen ground
I didn't use tees...frozen ground
Frozen water in bunkers
Couldn't remove flag....frozen in hole
Wouldn't risk life getting ball off frozen lakes
Used 3 wood on tee boxes
What golf bag do you use??
This is my Graceland.... :)
How Did you get those amazing aerial views ?
Our drone and some practice!!
Erik, have you ever played in South of Spain?
Well, you want to do a cool show on golf in NYC then you go to Van Cortlandt in the Bronx. The oldest public gold course in the US. Just fantastic. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Van_Cortlandt_Park
better than whistling straits? no. great course, yes.
I would think the two thumbs down is because the video does not include Randy from FEG
Andy, you’re a genius... limo rentals are about to skyrocket. What’s the heck were we thinking to NOT do this? #wokeyoke
You actually divide Cole Caddy years by two bc he Carrie’s two bags.
Any idea what the music is from 6:20 on?
Musica romantica
So you gonna come to Indiana and play some great courses?
Andy kind of reminds me of Jay Barachel
Until you play PGA West or any Pete Dye in Palm Desert, CA. He takes flat pieces of land and DESTROYS YOUR SCORECARD with grass bunkers, blind approaches, 20 foot tall greenside bunkers.
Colts swing is ligit
