Driving Directions
Resort, 36 holes, $185.00 - $185.00
This resort features two regulation eighteen hole courses. Pete Dye, the designer of these courses, did a great job of preserving the natural beauty of the land and surrounding terrain.
River Course
The River Course is a more conventional Dye course than the Straits: target landing areas, tricky greens strategic bunkering and water hazards - in short, a punishing test of accuracy. You face watery pitfalls on 14 of the 18 holes, most dauntingly on the 11th, a 560-yard par 5 that swings around water to the right, and at No. 14 a short, 346-yard par 4 with water right and a skinny ribbon of fairway that looks almost impossible to hit.
Like Dye's best courses, the River is all about deception. The aggressive route is the most obvious from the tee, but you'll get beat up if you opt for that path and fail to execute the shot.
Meadow Valleys
The most sedate trot in the Kohler empire, the Meadow Valleys track was used to create a composite layout with the River Course to host the 1998 U.S. Women's Open. There are some beautiful target holes that rival its sibling, but choose the wrong tees and you'll find too many holes that just don't pose much of a challenge. Take the 10th, which is a tough, narrow hole from the back tees at 382 yards, but from the white sticks (6,169 yards) it's just a long iron off the tee and a flip with a sand wedge. From any tee the 18th is a fine finisher; it has two greens (apparently ladies have a choice) and the longer one - 458 yards from the tips - is V-shaped and tucked behind trees.
The other courses of The American Club are the Straits and Irish Course at Whistling Straits. For more information, go to destinationkohler.com.
