Kohler is no stranger to creating much sought-after golf destinations, not just in Scotland but in the United States of America too. Destination Kohler, Wisconsin’s golf leader, has ushered in a new era for the midwestern state with four internationally acclaimed Pete Dye-designed courses across Whistling Straits and Blackwolf Run, and three courses winning a spot-on Golf Digest’s Top 100 Public Courses list.

Kohler Golf has collectively hosted six Major Championships with the Straits at Whistling Straits gearing up to host golf’s preeminent international competition, the 2020 Ryder Cup. The Straits, sculpted along two miles of dramatically rugged Lake Michigan shoreline, will proudly become the first public course in 29 years to host the prestigious tournament. This incredible honour is testimony to Kohler Co’s ability to transform golfing courses into international destinations in their own right.
