Sister course to Whistling Straits at Destination Kohler; hosted the 1998 (composite with Meadow Valleys) and 2012 U.S. Women's Opens.
This course is in our GSPro library — pull it up in any bay and play it wall to wall.
"Part of the popular Kohler/Whistling Straits family of Pete Dye courses in GSPro's community library."
Pete Dye's wild child in Kohler, Wisconsin — the tougher, prettier half of Blackwolf Run, built when the resort split its original 1988 course (Golf Digest's Best New Public Course) into 36 holes in 1990. Dye folded nine of the original holes together with nine new ones carved inside a vast bend of the Sheboygan River. Water touches 14 of 18 holes, the slope hits 151, and every hole has a name — Made in Heaven, Hell's Gate, Cathedral Spires, Dyehard. Routinely ranked among America's best public courses.
Low-handicappers who want peak Pete Dye — strategy, terror, and beauty in equal parts — and anyone who thinks Whistling Straits gets too much of the Kohler spotlight.
The 5th, 'Made in Heaven,' is a stunner; the 8th offers a split-fairway gamble from an elevated tee; the 9th, 'Cathedral Spires,' dares you to flirt with the Sheboygan River for a short approach; and 'Dyehard,' the 18th, runs a single bunker the entire left side.
One of the hardest public courses in America — 151 slope, water on 14 holes, forced carries, classic Dye visual intimidation. Beginners will lose a dozen balls. Play Meadow Valleys first; earn this one.
In GSPro and a fantastic sim challenge — the water and carries translate brutally on screen, and the 151 slope is honest. One of the best 'you think you're good?' queue-ups at Clubhouse for scratch-to-5 players; everyone else should take two extra sleeves' worth of mulligans.
Public resort golf at Destination Kohler; peak green fees run $300+ and resort guests get first crack at tee times. Book well ahead in summer — it's a bucket-list draw.
