Kohler Resort Planning a Pete Dye-designed public course in Sheboygan, Wisc.
Kohler Resort in Haven, Wisc., site of this September’s Ryder Cup Matches, is developing a public golf course on property owned by the Kohler Company for 75 years.
“Our goal is to build a golf course that will be rated among the top 50 in the world,’’ Kohler Resort Director of Golf Operations Michael O’Reilly told me. “Kohler Co. is committed to creating a world-class golf course that also respects the property’s natural character, and opens up private land to the public for the first time.’’
Legendary golf course architect Pete Dye designed the course, located in the city of Sheboygan, before his death in 2020. Dye designed the resort’s current four courses – the Straits and Irish at Whistling Straits and the River and Meadow Valleys at Blackwolf Run.
A fifth course – the 10-hold Baths designed by Dye protégé Chris Lutzke and Kohler Co., Executive Chairman Herb Kohler – opened in June 2021.
