Kohler's Got a New Colt in the Stable - Meet Purebred Farm
Golfers, saddle up - Kohler is building a new course, and it's not your typical 18-hole beast. The folks behind Whistling Straits and Blackwolf Run just announced Purebred Farm, a 14-hole layout coming to life on 200 acres of rolling farmland just west of Blackwolf Run in Sheboygan County.
Why 14 holes? Because why not. According to Kohler Co., the goal is to keep things fun, flexible, and less time-consuming - ideal for golfers who want a memorable round without committing to the full five-hour marathon. Play 7, play 14, or double back and go for 21. Your call.
Designed by hometown hero Chris Lutzke - a longtime Pete Dye protege - Purebred Farm will blend Dye-inspired quirks with a more relaxed, modern vibe. Think dramatic elevation changes, wide fairways, and a shot at playing in under three hours (unless you get distracted by the scenery, which is very possible). Construction starts this fall and the course is set to open in 2026.
This isn't just a one-trick pony. The new development also includes:
- The Serve, a year-round indoor-outdoor tennis and pickleball complex (because your backswing needs balance).
- A renovation of The Carriage House, adding 4 luxury suites and a fresh update to the Spa at Kohler's sleeping quarters.
Kohler clearly isn't resting on its major-championship laurels. Between Whistling Straits, Blackwolf Run, and now Purebred Farm, it's becoming an even bigger magnet for golf travelers - especially those who like their rounds with a side of spa time or pickleball.
Stay tuned - this "purebred" could be the new thoroughbred in Wisconsin's stacked golf lineup.

All of his life, Brian has been around the game of golf. As a youngster, Brian competed at all levels in junior and high school golf. Brian had a zero chance for a college golf scholarship, so he worked on the grounds crew at West Bend Country Club to pay for his University of Wisconsin education. In his adult years, his passion for the game collided with his entrepreneurial spirit and in 2004 launched GolfWisconsin.com. In 2007, the idea for a network of local golf directory sites formed and GolfTrips.com was born. Today, the network consists of a site in all 50 states supported by national sites like GolfTrips.com, GolfGuide.com and GolfPackages.com. It is an understatement to say, Brian is passionate about promoting golf and golf travel on a local, regional, national and international level.
On the golf course, Brian is known as a fierce weekend warrior that fluctuates between a 5-9 handicap. With a soft fade, known as "The Weis Slice", and booming 300+ drives, he can blast it out of bounds with the best of them.
