Golf Courses at Kohler Resort
With courses that featured in the 2015 PGA Championship, 2012 US Women’s Open, and the 2021 Ryder Cup, those teeing off at Destination Kohler Resort have the chance to play in the footsteps of the pro’s.
Whistling Straits
Built into the Wisconsin coast, the Straits is reminiscent of traditional Scottish and Irish links courses, and its windswept terrain offers a challenging round with breathtaking views. Having hosted the Ryder Cup in 2021, guests can relive the iconic moments while winding their way to the final hole.
Irish Straits
The serene landscape, just inland from the lake, may give players a false sense of security when they play the Irish Straits. Water frequently comes into play as four streams wind their way through the course, and other hazards in the form of dunes and grassland feature regularly.
Blackwolf Run – Meadow Valleys
Sculpted into the natural Wisconsin landscape, this course features beautiful meadows and valleys to bring elevation change into play at various points. This long and difficult course will be a test for amateurs and professionals alike.

Kohler Resort Reviews
The course and facilities were top notch.
An experience every golfer should have. A must golf trip for every golfer.
A must visit if you are a golf fan
This was my first real golf trip and it did not disappoint. We played the Irish and Meadows Valley courses at Black Wolf Run and they were pristine. They also have a 10 hole par 3 that was a fun walk with the Sunday bags they included. The other two days we played the Rivers and Straights course at Whistling straights and it was breathtaking. To be able to play on a course where a Ryder Cup was held was truly remarkable. Our caddies at the Straights Course made us feel like pros for a day (even though we didn’t play like one). If this is your first time going, I would opt for forecaddies. They can help you with aiming points and tips on where to avoid trouble. They know these greens like the back of their hand and will easily shave strokes off of your round. One free perk that was a pleasant surprise were free brats at the turn. Who doesn’t like free? The weather and wind can be dicey so make sure to plan accordingly. We had sunny weather all 4 days but the wind off the lake can make you chilly if you aren’t dressed for it. The American club where we stayed was by far the nicest hotel I have ever stayed at and is super close to all the courses. Our travel specialist Connor Vogel took care of all the details and made planning hassle free.
