Herb Kohler's vision of a links course on Lake Michigan paid off in a way the doubters didn't see coming
Herb Kohler's vision of a links course on Lake Michigan paid off in a way the doubters didn't see coming. Pete Dye carved 7,549 yards of manufactured drama into the shoreline, and the resulting theater is genuinely cinematic. Four U.S. PGA Championships have been decided here. Walking it as a civilian carries specific weight. These are the holes you saw on television, and walking them reveals how much the broadcast couldn't capture. The wind off the lake is real, the bunkers are everywhere, and the walk is physically significant.
