Herb Kohler built this as an Irish links course on Lake Michigan's western shore
Herb Kohler built this as an Irish links course on Lake Michigan's western shore. Wind off the water controls every shot. The Straits hosted three PGA Championships and a Ryder Cup. The land earned that resume. Fescue lines the fairways. The manufactured dunes look old now, twenty years in. You walk. You hire a caddie. Both are required, not choices. The greens fee hurts. It works as destination golf. Nine holes that belong on any list of public golf worth playing.
