Mascoutin Golf Club

Mascoutin Golf Club in Berlin, Wisconsin is a 27-hole facility with a fascinating two-era design history: the Red and White nines were laid out by Larry Packard (of Packard Design, known for their Midwest resort work) and opened in 1976, while the Blue nine was designed by Rick Jacobson and opened on July 19, 1999. The three nines combine into three different 18-hole routings (Red/White, Red/Blue, and White/Blue), each with a distinct personality. The Blue nine is the modern standout, target golf at its best, with bold waste bunkering and fescue areas framing each hole, representing Jacobson's late-1990s preference for visually dramatic modern layouts. The Packard Red and White nines feel more traditional-Wisconsin, wider corridors, parkland rhythm, and the kind of 1970s resort routing that was meant to please country-club members rather than challenge tour pros. For the Lawsonia Links trip visitor, Mascoutin is the natural pairing for a second-round day at a semi-private club within easy driving distance, same central-Wisconsin golf-trip geography, different architectural vocabulary than Langford/Moreau's template-hole artistry.
