    Very difficult course with many target tee shots with less than driver. Greens were very good and soft. Worth the money for sure especially compared to Kohler courses nearby

    Doesn’t get the notoriety of the Straits course but is every bit as good. Not on the water like the Straits but still has some awesome holes and is a great warmup before playing Straits

    Inspired by Ballybunion in Ireland this place is a must play. We are 45 minutes away so get to play on a regular basis. Lake Michigan could pass for the ocean for those not from the Midwest. The lake is in direct view for all the holes but #5.

    Such a beautiful course but so difficult that is unfair at times. The river comes into play on so many holes. Pete Dye wanted a challenge for players and this course comes through. Not walkable since long drives between some holes.

    F9 is through the prairie and nothing special, but the B9 makes up for it with dramatic par 3s and holes along the Sheboygan River.

How we rank

This ranking uses each golfer’s value rating, on a 0.5–5 scale. Value is how worth the price a golfer felt the round was. Only public and guest-friendly courses are ranked, since private clubs rarely have value ratings. Every golfer counts once per course: repeat rounds are averaged first, then the course score is the average across golfers. A course needs value ratings from at least 5 different golfers. Ties go to the course with more golfers, then the higher Course Vaults score. Only open courses with a published Course Vaults score (at least 5 explicit ratings) are eligible, and a page is published only when at least 5 courses qualify. City pages include courses within about 25 miles of Kohler, so nearby suburbs can appear. Rankings refresh about hourly.
