Bob Lang
Bob Lang, a graduate of Northern Illinois University, began his business career in 1975 when he started his first company, Lang Homes, a custom home building company in Delafield, Wisconsin. Bob Lang has built over 200 homes in Waukesha County and the surrounding areas during his career. In 1982, a new company, Lang Graphics, was created to publish calendars, Christmas cards and other fine stationery products from original artwork.
After establishing this multi-million dollar company, Bob Lang sold the entire company in 2003. During the previous twenty years, one of his primary focuses included his investment into the City of Delafield. Seventeen buildings were constructed during the twenty-year span, including the Lang Companies home office, other retail and commercial spaces, restaurants, warehouses and a hotel, along with apartments and condominiums.
In 1999, Bob Lang furthered his interests by investing in 652 acres of land in the Town of Erin. Within seven years, Erin Hills Golf Course opened, August 1, 2006. With the intention of building a championship course, Erin Hills hosted the 2008 U.S. Women’s Amateur Public Links.
In January 2007, Golf Magazine rated Erin Hills…”Best New Course of the Year”. On February 8, 2008, the USGA awarded Erin Hills the 2011 U.S. Amateur. This traditional, prestigious championship…in addition to Erin Hills becoming a national destination golf course represents the essence of Bob Lang’s primary goal…golf and golf only.
