WHISTLING STRAITS AT KOHLER GOLF PACKAGES

Kohler boasts four unique championship golf courses designed by Pete Dye, and a trip to this world-class golf destination is a must for any golf enthusiast.

A throwback to the raw landscapes of Ireland, Whistling Straits® has hosted the 2004, 2010 and 2015 PGA Championships; 2007 U.S. Senior Open; and will host the 2020 Ryder Cup. Open, rugged and windswept, The Straits® is a walking-only, links-style course sculpted along two miles of Lake Michigan shoreline. The Straits features rising bluffs and massive sand dunes, natural fescue fairways and views of Lake Michigan from all 18 holes. A masterpiece in the world of golf, The Straits was ranked #4 of Golf Digest’s America’s 100 Greatest Public Golf Courses for 2015-16.

Whistling Straits has a group of highly trained caddies that enable players to focus on their games while enjoying the company of their playing partners and the beauty of the course. Caddies are available on all four courses at Whistling Straits and Blackwolf Run®.

Melded into a river basin formed by glacial runoff, Blackwolf Run features courses which have hosted the 1998 and 2012 U.S. Women’s Open and the 1995–1997 Anderson Consulting World Golf Championships. These extraordinary courses are ranked among the best in the country. Blackwolf Run features two 18-hole courses: The River and The Meadow Valleys. Unique features of the courses include the beauty of the environment, dramatic elevation changes, the combination of playability and challenge, two railroad car bridges and water hazards on several holes.

GOLF COURSES:

Whistling Straits® offers two courses of dynamic contrast and world-class prestige, The Straits and The Irish.

Arguably the greatest championship course in the United States, The Straits at Whistling Straits® has hosted the 2004, 2010 and 2015 PGA Championships and the 2007 U.S. Senior Open, and it is the future site of the 2020 Ryder Cup.

Open, rugged and windswept terrain defines The Straits®, sculpted along two miles of Lake Michigan shoreline. Borrowing influences from Irish links courses, The Straits has fescue fairways and massive sand dune bunkers. Just inland, interspersed by four meandering streams, the grassland and dunes aspect of The Irish is a deceiving tranquil landscape.

Experience these two must-play courses crafted by hall-of-fame designer Pete Dye and ranked among the best in the United States.

Blackwolf Run® also has two courses, The River and The Meadow Valleys

Over two centuries ago, Chief Blackwolf and his Winnebago tribe resided in the Sheboygan River Valley. Today, melded into that very same river basin formed by the flows of glacial runoff, you’ll find The River and The Meadow Valleys at

Blackwolf Run® opened for play in June 1988 and was named that year’s “Best New Public Course” in the country by Golf Digest.

Regarded as one of Pete Dye’s crowning achievements, Blackwolf Run has hosted a number of professional championships: the Andersen Consulting World Golf Championships in 1995, 1996 and 1997 as well as the U.S. Women’s Open in 1998 and 2012.

Professionals and amateurs of all skill levels can experience a day of golf like no other on the Meadow Valleys course. Described as both subtle and devilish, it winds through meadows and charges across ravines, reflecting the natural features of the Wisconsin terrain. This championship course challenges even the experts to weigh the relative advantages of distance and accuracy, though staggered tees put much of the danger out of harm’s way for the average golfer.

The Meadow Valleys was ranked #60 in Golf Digest’s ranking of America’s 100 Greatest Public Golf Courses for 2017/2018.
