Kohler to Unveil 14-Hole Golf Course Amid Rising Popularity of Golf in Wisconsin
The Kohler properties, about 55 miles north of Milwaukee, have announced plans for a new 14-hole golf course dubbed Purebred Farm. Construction is set to break ground in the fall of 2025, with an expected opening in the fall of 2027.
Leading design firm King-Collins-Dormer, consisting of Tad King, Rob Collins, and Trev Dormer, has established a reputation for crafting bold and creative courses that strike a perfect balance between playability and visual appeal. This trio's previous projects, including Sweetens Cove in Tennessee and Landmand in Nebraska, have garnered national recognition and ranking among the best public-access layouts in their respective states.
Internationally, King-Collins-Dormer has made waves with an ambitious master plan at Royal Dornoch in Scotland, which features a new 18-hole course and renovation of the Struie Course. The firm's global influence will also be felt at 7 Mile Beach in Tasmania, solidifying its position as one of golf's most innovative design teams.
Kohler currently boasts two championship golf destinations, Whistling Straits and Blackwolf Run, offering a total of four 18-hole courses designed by the legendary Pete Dye. The upcoming Purebred Farm will offer a unique experience, with a 4,900-yard layout woven through prairie, farmland, and river valleys, carefully avoiding existing wetlands to preserve the site's natural character.
The course is expected to be walkable only from the tips, inviting golfers to engage with ground-game creativity. A hallmark of King-Collins-Dormer's design philosophy, fast, firm turf will reward thoughtful decisions and imaginative play.
Golf enthusiasts at Kohler can look forward to a vibrant hub for recreational play in The Serve, which broke ground earlier this month. This impressive facility features six indoor pickleball courts, two heated outdoor platform tennis courts, and an elevated social lounge, set to host tournaments, lessons, and recreational play for guests of all ages and skill levels.
As the popularity of golf continues to surge worldwide, top-tier resorts are poised to seize opportunities to expand their offerings with new courses and experiences. With Purebred Farm on the horizon, Kohler is well-positioned to capitalize on this trend, providing another level of enjoyment for its guests while cementing its position as a leading global golf destination.

what's your take on it? Do you think pineapple belongs on pizza or is it just a weird combo? I mean, personally, I'm all about trying new things and being adventurous in the kitchen... but putting pineapple on pizza? That's just not my cup of tea 
I mean, wow! Another fancy-schmancy golf course in Wisconsin because clearly that's where all the cool kids are going these days 
. I'm sure it'll be super Instagrammable and people will just love trudging through the prairie to get a decent view of the horizon 
. And great, more opportunities for wealthy folks to pay top dollar for a 4,900-yard walk in the park 
. Can't wait to see how many golfers can squeeze onto that course without losing their minds or hitting each other with their clubs 
.
can't wait to tee off on that beautiful 4900 yard layout surrounded by prairie, farmland, and river valleys 
it's gonna be so cool how the course is walkable only from the tips, like a whole new way of experiencing golf 
and i'm loving that the design team is all about creating fast, firm turf to reward thoughtful decisions and imaginative play 
can't wait for The Serve to open too, with those amazing indoor pickleball courts and outdoor platform tennis courts 
. And of course, some overpaid designers are getting a chance to showcase their 'creativity' 
while ripping off the environment, just like every other soulless resort development 
.
. So let's take it from the pros and remember that growth is all about embracing the unknown and having fun along the way! 
! I'm low-key excited for it to open in 2027 
. Kohler's already got two sick courses, Whistling Straits and Blackwolf Run, but this new one is gonna take it to the next level 
. The walkability thing sounds genius - who doesn't love a good stroll around nature? 
Can't wait to hear more about The Serve facility too, those pickleball courts sound like so much fun 
!
It's all about balance, right? Can't have too much of a good thing... or can we? 
. And don't even get me started on the environmental impact - all that construction is gonna mess up the prairie and river valleys, I can already imagine the poor fish swimming in circles because of it 
. Plus, it's just another way for Kohler to cash in on golf enthusiasts' obsession with the sport... like they're not making enough money off Whistling Straits already 
. I mean, can you imagine having those two courses and then just... Purebred Farm? It's like the ultimate golf trifecta 
. And with Purebred Farm already shaping up to be a super walkable and engaging course, I can see why golf enthusiasts would love it. But at the same time, 14 holes might feel a bit too condensed for some courses? Like, isn't that just a bit rushed? 
Still, only time will tell if this new course lives up to expectations 
. and i heard theyre building this serve thingy too, sounds like its gonna be lit for pickleball and platform tennis 
! anyway, golf is just getting so popular in wisconsin now, maybe we can expect some new courses at our own school's country club soon?!
