About

Whistling Straits is a renowned golf resort located in Kohler, Wisconsin, featuring two 18-hole links-style courses: the Straits Course and the Irish Course. The Straits Course, designed by Pete Dye, is celebrated for its dramatic elevation changes, rugged bunkers, and stunning views of Lake Michigan. It replicates the ancient seaside links courses of Scotland and Ireland, with eight holes along the lake shoreline. The course is known for its challenging layout, vast rolling greens, and deep pot bunkers, making it a true test of golfing skill. The Irish Course, also designed by Pete Dye, offers a more traditional parkland style with lush fairways and well-manicured greens. Whistling Straits has hosted several major tournaments, including the PGA Championship and the Ryder Cup. The resort offers luxurious accommodations and amenities, making it a premier golf destination. With its unique blend of natural beauty and challenging golf, Whistling Straits provides an unforgettable experience for golfers of all levels. The courses are part of the Destination Kohler resort, which includes dining facilities and other golfing opportunities.
