Kohler
Blackwolf Run - Meadow Valleys
Inland meadow / valley
Meadow Valleys is not filler, but it is the easiest Kohler course to cut if the budget, legs, or calendar get tight. On a longer trip, it helps the resort breathe. On a short trip, protect Straits and River first.

Meadow Valleys is adjacent to The River course but they offer two entirely different experiences in both the golf and the beauty of the courses. Challenging but fair, put it on your Bucket List!

Amazing course during opening week. Perfectly manicured and plenty tough. Can not wait to get back there.

I have to give full disclosure, I work part-time as a starter and marshal.
It's a beautifully maintained championship level golf course. All the staff will treat you with utmost care. The meadow portion provides wide lush fairways with only slight elevations.

Straits is the reason many groups come.

Irish suffers from being next to a celebrity sibling.

River is not the backup plan.

The Baths of Blackwolf Run
The Baths is exactly what Kohler needed: something fun that does not require everyone to get punched by Pete Dye for five

Erin Hills
Erin Hills is the philosophical counterweight to Straits.
