A couple of months ago, Adam Sachs, a reader in Kansas City and a peripatetic occasional contributor to this blog, visited Whistling Straits, a course that’s been on my golf to-do list for a long time. Excerpts from his report:
I won a couples package to play Whistling Straits in a charity raffle fifteen or so years ago, but could never figure out a time to schlep up to Wisconsin to cash in on my luck. I goaded a client into inviting me to the PGA Championship two summers ago, and was awestruck by the beauty and seeming impossibility of the golf course. This summer, after a business meeting in Milwaukee, I finally played it.
Sachs was not predisposed to love the course, which had struck him as excessively artificial, in the classic Pete Dye manner:
To me, Ben Crenshaw and Bill Coore represent the be-all and end-all of modern golf course design. I love that they had the vision and confidence to move so little dirt when they built Sand Hills, one of the finest golf courses on the planet, and that they considered about a hundred and eighty different possible holes before landing on their favorites.
Nevertheless, he loved Whistling Straits, and describes his visit there as “one of the most beautiful and pure golf-course experiences of my life.”
The last four holes are magic. The photo below is of the seventeenth, a par three called Pinched Nerve. The bunker with the wispy fescue patch above it in the photo below guards the right front of the green, leaving only a narrow window for running up the ball.
I guess maybe it’s time to start thinking about booking a flight to Milwaukee.
The Straits course is truly spectacular and should be on all golf lovers bucket list (other Kohler courses — Irish, Blackwolf River and Meadows — are all solid, too, but not in the same league, imo). Would put it up there with other great courses on the water, like Bandon Dunes, Pacific Dunes, and the great Irish and Scottish links courses).
