Golf course on the shores of Lake Michigan with an upscale clubhouse
I had the opportunity to participate in the PGA Hope program, and the instructors that worked with us here are just outstanding. David, Mark, and Jason are very adept at breaking down swing and other golf concepts Big Bird Cookie Monster style to a crayon eater such as myself. Kohler Golf Academy and these gentlemen truly went out of their way to make it a great learning experience in a truly wonderful environment.
Great place. Great pro shop. Very nice restrooms on course. nice free aluminum bottles and a 10 minute massage area on the driving range. free tees, ball markers, leather scorecard holder. There are a lot of bunkers here and are in play for people who top one off the tee or thin one over way the green. You will be punished for your bad shots. Personally, I was not a fan of some of the holes on both courses. You can't even see the green on one of the par 3's. I can't remember what the rounds cost, but they were worth it.
Played the Irish. Wonderful experience. Hard but fair course. Definitely scoreable but will kick your butt given the chance. We used carts. The carts are a little "nanny state" for my liking but I guess it prevents the yahoos from spoiling it for everyone. Course is in incredible condition. Greens were the fastest I've putted on all year. Well worth the trip.
First of all, every single person working at Whistling Straits is amazing, especially the Pros. They are the nicest people I’ve ever met working at a golf course. They aren’t just transactional but really help you out and provide for an unforgettable experience, even without the course being what it is. If you ask them, they could give you a tour of the champion‘s lockers which it by itself insane aura. The course itself is obviously the most beautiful and challenging course I’ve ever played. The lakeside views are incredible and the condition of the course pleasantly surprised me for it being early November in Wisconsin. The property itself is unfathomable. You are getting greeted by thick rescue driving towards the clubhouse and the first thing you see entering the clubhouse is all PGA championship and the Ryder cup trophy. You’ll be glazing the entire time going through each room of the clubhouse. I’ll lucky enough to be playing the Irish course tomorrow and can’t wait to go back. It’s my first golf trip and I will never forget it, thank you!
Whistling Straits is a breathtaking course—every hole offers incredible views that make the round unforgettable. The layout is both challenging and rewarding, and the staff provide outstanding service. A world-class golfing experience from start to finish.
