Whistling Straits

Open, rugged and windswept terrain defines the walking-only, links-style Straits course sculpted along two miles of Lake Michigan shoreline. A masterpiece in the world of golf created by Pete Dye, The Straits at Whistling Straits® was ranked #3 in Golf Digest's 2019/2020 America's 100 Greatest Public Golf Courses, #5 in GolfWeek's 2018 Best Resort Courses, and #21 in Golf Digest's 2019/2020 America's 100 Greatest Golf Courses.

Whistling Straits - The Straits and The Irish

In 2021, The Straits at Whistling Straits became the first public course to host the Ryder Cup in 29 years. One of Destination Kohler's four Pete Dye designed courses, The Straits is sculpted along two miles of dramatically rugged, bunker-riddled Lake Michigan shoreline.

Inn On Woodlake

Two-bedroom, Horizon and Patio suites are available to book for all your group travel adventures. With shared common areas and individual bedrooms, each suite is ideal for getting the gang together.

Blackwolf Run - The River and The Meadow Valleys

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.

The American Club

Welcome to The American Club, a five-star, five-diamond hotel that has stood as an icon of gracious hospitality for 100 years. Set in the quaint Village of Kohler, Wisconsin, the full-service resort hotel offers elegant accommodations and unparalleled service. The adjacent Carriage House, home to Kohler Waters Spa, provides the same renowned service with a more contemporary ambience.

Kohler Golf Guide

Kohler, Wisconsin features some of the best golf in the state... PERIOD! Where else can you find five of the finest courses in the Badger State, let alone the Midwest, all within a 20 mile radius.

The must play course in the area is The Straits Course at Whistling Straits, the ultimate tribute to links-style golf. Pete Dye sculpted two 18 hole masterpieces on the Lake Michigan shoreline, The Straits Course and The Irish Course. Between 2004 and 2020, this property will have hosted three PGA Championships, a U.S. Senior Open, a Palmer Cup, and the game's most prestigious event, the Ryder Cup.

Kohler rose to the golf scene with Blackwolf Run, Pete Dye's Taj Mahal of Americanized golf in the Midwest. A composite of the River and Meadow Valleys courses hosted the 1998 U.S. Women's Open and did again in 2012. If glorious views and remarkable shot values are how you judge a golf course, then Blackwolf Run is the Gold Standard.
