The company that has become synonymous with high-level golf in Wisconsin soon will begin work on a new golf experience that should appeal to players of all levels.
Kohler Co. announced plans for Purebred Farm a 14-hole course that will be located near the company's Blackwolf Run in the company's namesake village.
King Collins Dormer Golf Course Design of Chattanooga, Tennessee, will design the course. Construction is scheduled to begin this year and open in fall 2027. Blackwolf Run is home to two regulation golf courses — the River and Meadow Valleys — and The Baths, a 10-hole, par-3 layout.
The firm's portfolio includes Sweetens Cove in South Pittsburg, Tennessee, and completion of a master plan for famed Royal Dornoch in Scotland.
Spanning 47 acres and about 4,900 yards, the walking-only, multi-loop Purebred Farm layout will feature a mix of par 3s, 4s, and 5s inspired by Golden Age golf architecture. The course utilizes the area's natural prairie and river valley landscapes without impacting native wetlands and preserving existing hiking trails, demonstrating the company's commitment to both sustainability as well as growing the game. Kohler's historic Tomczyk Cabin – a lodging option in the Kohler Cabin Collection – will transition into a rest station.
"Our new course will reflect a minimalist design style in an environmentally conscious way," Dirk Willis, vice president of golf, landscape and retail for Kohler Hospitality told Golf Business News. "We will use the natural terrain when setting locations for tees, fairways and greens."
Other projects on the drawing board for Kohler include groundbreaking of The Serve, a premier racquet sports facility, and renovation of The Carriage House at The American Club Resort Hotel.
