Award-winning Golf Courses

Over the last 21 years, Kohler has hosted nine major golf tournaments and boasts numerous acclaimed courses. The Straits Course at Whistling Straits will host the 2020 Ryder Cup. Its Irish-styled bunkers and rugged terrain earned it Golf Digest’s “4th Best Public Golf Course in America” designation. The accolades don’t stop there. The Irish Course at Whistling Straits, and the River and Meadow Valleys courses at Blackwolf Run, all designed by Pete Dye, have been recognized as top picks by Golf Digest, GolfWeek and GOLF Magazine.

Experience the Five-Star Treatment

With diamonds, stars and awards to spare, Kohler’s resorts are destinations in themselves. The American Club Resort Hotel opened in 1918 and originally served as housing for the Kohler Company’s immigrant workers. Today, the resort offers four championship golf courses, nine restaurants and the Kohler Waters Spa to go along with its AAA Five-Diamond and Forbes Five-Star Hotel ratings. Group travelers will love the Inn on Woodlake, which features a private beach and suites for up to eight guests, or the Sandhill, a private luxury cabin.
