Nakoma Golf Resort

Frank Lloyd Wright conceived the architectural concept for the Nakoma Clubhouse in 1923. At age 57, Wright designed the 23,000 square-foot clubhouse at the request of the Nakoma Country Club in Madison, Wisconsin. The Wisconsin State Journal called the Wright clubhouse “the most unique building of its kind in America.” The newspapers account was hardly an exaggeration. Wright’s design was a tour de force with its geometric roofline composed of teepee like towers of wood and copper rising from walls clad in stone, his characteristically low-ceilinged entrances and passageways that led to soaring spaces including the 60 foot-high “Wigwam Room” with its towering, four-sided central fireplace.
