I still have three left to play: The Straits course at Whistling Straits, Milwaukee Country Club, and Blue Mound Country Club.ġ. This was all of our first time playing the track, and it was the last of Wisconsin’s top ten courses for friends and fellow golf writers Brian Weis (owner of GolfWisconsin and 30-plus other golf websites) and Glen Turk (Midwest Golfing Magazine). Using the reciprocity program through North Hills Country Club, my friend, Greg, and I were able to get a great group out on Pine Hills yesterday.
My dad grew up in Sheboygan, and my mom in Two Rivers, so visiting this area always brings back some memories of my childhood. My grandfather and I used to fish the Pigeon River when I was a kid. When the club did not sell to him, and chose to stay private, Kohler was introduced to Pete Dye, who grew his love for the game of golf and inspired him to develop the international golfing mecca that the Sheboygan area is today. The story I was told prior to playing Pine Hills is that it was the original course Kohler was looking at to purchase as the golfing destination for his resort guests. Both courses play host to a multitude of state-wide (and for Blackwolf Run, national/international) tournaments, and both have been of particular interest to the Kohler Company. Blackwolf Run is a public, albeit pricy, course, while Pine Hills is fully private. The River course, extending to over 7,400 yards for tournament play, plays inside and along the Sheboygan River, while Pine Hills is set mostly in woods and along the Pigeon River. The similarities between the Blackwolf Run’s River course and Pine Hills are striking, but the two also differ in many ways. Ranked by Golf Digest as the number eight overall course in the state of Wisconsin, and third among private clubs, Pine Hills Country Club is a hidden gem located just miles from Kohler’s Blackwolf Run property.
