Kohler
The Baths of Blackwolf Run
Short course / putting-course complex
The Baths is exactly what Kohler needed: something fun that does not require everyone to get punched by Pete Dye for five more hours. Use it for side bets, recovery golf, and a little humility repair after Straits or River.

Great place for a work outing! Fun for someone like me who's idea of golfing is miniature.

Strong play
Whistling Straits - Straits Course
Straits is the reason many groups come.
Strong play
Whistling Straits - Irish Course
Irish suffers from being next to a celebrity sibling.
Strong play
Blackwolf Run - River Course
River is not the backup plan.
Strong play
Blackwolf Run - Meadow Valleys
Meadow Valleys is not filler, but it is the easiest Kohler course to cut if the budget, legs, or calendar get tight.
Strong play
Erin Hills
Erin Hills is the philosophical counterweight to Straits.
