Kohler growing to three properties, 96 holes

Kohler is adding 14 more holes.

Kohler, Wisconsin, the luxury hospitality offering from the Kohler Co., continues a multi-year journey in the evolution of the resort with Purebred Farm, a new 14-hole golf course just west of Blackwolf Run. The resort is also the home of Whistling Straits, which has hosted the 2004, 2010 and 2015 PGA Championship, the 2007 U.S. Senior Open and the 2021 Ryder Cup.

The resort is also renovating The Carriage House, part of The American Club Resort Hotel, and adding a racquet sports facility called The Serve.

“This next chapter in Kohler, Wisconsin's evolution reflects our ongoing commitment to creating dynamic, memorable experiences for our guests,” hospitality president Stephen Beaumont said. “With the construction of Purebred Farm Golf Course and The Serve, and the renovation of The Carriage House, we’re introducing spaces for guests and local residents that integrate wellness, community and connection, while honoring our resort’s rich legacy of craftsmanship, innovation and hospitality.”

Purebred Farm will be located just west of Blackwolf Run complex. King Collins Dormer Golf Course Design of Chattanooga, Tennessee, will design the course, which is scheduled to begin construction in fall 2025 and open in fall 2027.

Spanning 47 acres, the walking-only, multi-loop layout will feature a mix of par 3s, 4s and 5s inspired by Golden Age golf architecture. The course highlights Kohler's natural prairie and river valley landscapes, while avoiding all existing wetlands and preserving existing hiking trails. Kohler will transform the historic Tomczyk Cabin — a lodging option in the Kohler Cabin Collection — into a rest station.

“Kohler is committed to expanding access to more individuals at all skill levels,” said Dirk Willis, VP of golf, landscape and retail for Kohler Hospitality. “Our golf business continues to steadily grow, and this new experience will offer an exciting and dynamic way to enjoy the game.”
