Blackwolf Run

Whistling Straits,an extraordinary combination of legendary design by Pete Dye and visionary inspiration of Herbert V. Kohler, Jr. Pete Dye has changed the look of the earth before. From Kohler to Casa de Campo, he has reshaped the planet with his particular landscaping genius. But even the celebrated Dye was awestruck by the rugged land that Herb Kohler presented to him for Whistling Straits. Beginning with a 560-acre parcel of flat land, Dye sculpted a bit of Ireland and a touch of Scotland out of the Wisconsin coastline. If you ask Pete Dye, he’ll tell you that building Whistling Straits was a "once in a lifetime thing"—an impressive claim for one considered the foremost golf course designer of our time.

Whistling Straits, which opened in 1998, offers two courses of dynamic contrast. Open, rugged and windswept terrain defines the Straits Course sculpted along two miles of Lake Michigan shoreline. Just inland, interspersed by four meandering streams, the grassland-and-dunes aspect of the Irish Course is a deceivingly tranquil landscape. In 1999, its first year of eligibility, the Straits Course was ranked 67th on Golf Magazine’s prestigious list of the "Top 100 Courses in the World". The same magazine placed Straits 35th among the "Top 100 Courses in the U.S." (Sept. 1999).

Blackwolf Run, built on a tract of land sculpted by glacier run-off tens of thousands of years ago, offers an award-winning 36 holes of championship golf in Kohler, Wisconsin. Its two 18-hole courses have been skillfully carved out of the natural environment and are designed for golfers who appreciate the game's great traditions. Both courses at Blackwolf Run, the River Course and the Meadow Valleys Course, were designed by renowned course architect Pete Dye and given names to reflect the natural features of the terrain. Seeing the proposed tract of land for Blackwolf Run for the first time, Dye said, "There could not be a better natural setting for golf."

Blackwolf Run, named after Black Wolf, chief of the Winnebago Indians, opened for play in June 1988 and was named that year "Best New Public Course" by Golf Digest magazine. It has continued to accumulate awards and honors including regular ranking on the list of "America's 100 Greatest Golf Courses" by Golf Digest and the "Top 100 You Can Play" by GOLF Magazine.
