Best Golf in Wisconsin: Whistling Straits, Sand Valley, Mammoth Dunes, Blackwolf Run, Erin Hills
Part II of my 2018 Epic Dream Golf Series is the Great State of Wisconsin. When you think of great golf destinations, Myrtle Beach, Pinehurst, Bandon and Pebble come to mind. Your list should include and needs to include Wisconsin. Wisconsin is filled with amazing golf course courses and experiences suited for a wide range of golfers on the road. I was able to play 6 of Wisconsin’s best public courses ranging from Amazing newcomers to well establish golf gems. I based my lodging in downtown Milwaukee, but all course would be great destinations to base your golf trip, that said to have a truly epic golf experience you will want to venture off whatever property you choose to play one or two of the others.
My First course was Whistling Strait – Straits Course. Easily the best course in the state and one of the best courses in the World. The Straits course is a testament to the genius and vision of Pete Dye. Pete Dye created an amazing seaside dunes experience on Lake Michigan. Lake Michigan feels like the Atlantic when playing Whistling Straits. You hear wave crashing and there is no end to the water you see. All of the par threes are on the Lake as well a many more holes but as you look out across the course you will look in awe at the magnificence of this course. The course is filled with bunkers and fescue and you always have a sense of danger with your tee shot. The majority of the course has room, but an errant shot will bring tall grass and loose bunkers into play.
On Day 2, I ventured out to Sand Valley Golf Resort. Sand Valley is the youngest addition to the high caliber golf world of Wisconsin, but it has it all. Owned and Developed by the same family that brought us Bandon Dunes, Sand Valley is a must for Buddies Golf Trips. Sand Valley gets everything right for the serious golfer down to the smallest detail. My first course was Sand Valley, a true Coore and Crenshaw design, skill and strategy are required to score well. Coore and Crenshaw are my favorite modern course designers, by far, they truly get the art and strategy of course design. Sand is abundant everywhere on Sand Valley but with generous fairways and no rough you do not have to concern yourself with living in bunkers. The concern and your focus will be on if you landed in the best location to attack the flag and hold the green. The green complexes are well thought out and will require some of your best approach shots. My second course for the day is Mammoth Dunes. Mammoth Dunes is the friendlier of the two 18 holes with Massive fairways and huge greens it is inviting to a wide range of golfers. My round was rained out on the 6th hole but Mammoth is epic in scale and a course you will enjoy especially if you play after Sand Valley. Once the Clouds broke and the rain stopped I ran over to the Sandbox. The Sandbox is a 17 hole par 3 short course that is perfect for a golf trip warm up or just a casual golf bonus. You will only need a few wedges and a putter and maybe one 9 or 8 iron for this course. The first thing you will notice is that this course is not a pushover, you have to bring your best short game and putting to score. The next thing you will notice is that everywhere around you people are laughing and having a great time. I joined up with a great group of guys and had a great time trying shots, talking golf and even laughing with other groups as they passed by. Similar to Bandon, Cabot and Streamsong, Sand Valley is great for the serious passionate golfer. Tom Doak was just announced to be building the third 18 at Sand Valley and I can not wait to go back and experience.
Day 3 - I played Blackwolf Run – River and Whistling Straits – Irish. Blackwolf Run is the only course I played on this trip that routed felt similar to a parkland style course. Blackwolf Run is beautiful and utilizes the land it is on perfectly. The Sheboygan River and various lakes and pond make this one of the best looking course I have played. Another Pete Dye Course, you will enjoy the lush forest, rolling hills and elevation changes throughout the course. The Irish course is easily overshadowed by The Straits course but is a must play. The Irish Course has many of the same features and design qualities of the Straits course but it is lacking Lake Michigan.
Day 4, I played Erin Hills, who Hosted the recent US Open in 2017. I personally thought this course was going to be the weak link in the group and that all of its accolades came from the US Open. The pictures you see online, the US Open Coverage and even my video do not do this course justice. Erin Hill is specular, grand, fun and engaging. My Second favorite course on this dream trip, Erin Hills engages you with every shot and especially your tee shot.
Wisconsin is a can’t miss.
