While not Pete Dye’s most memorable design, Bulle Rock is an excellent, affordable, and challenging upscale layout that rightfully earns its reputation as one of the top public courses in the region. … More Review: Bulle Rock Golf Course
In a glorious setting literally on the beach, The Ocean Course at Kiawah Island Resort packs a terrific combination of beauty and difficulty as the winds constantly rip off the Atlantic Ocean. There are no weak holes on the course and a terrific figure-eight routing makes for a wonderful and diverse walk. This is certainly one of Dye’s best and is clearly an elite option for public golfers. A trip to Charleston/Kiawah for any serious golfer is not complete without playing the famed Ocean Course. … More Review: The Ocean Course at Kiawah Island Golf Resort
It’s always a blast playing a PGA Tour course, and TPC River Highlands is no exception. While the front side is a bit bland, the back more than makes up for it with one of the most exciting stretches of holes on Tour. If given the chance, I highly recommend you play this course and try to recreate some of golf’s most memorable moments. … More Review: TPC River Highlands
Wintonbury Hills is a solid public course with great conditions and a strong reputation. However, I can’t help but feel like this course is overrated, and I’d rather save some money and play several other nearby courses. … More Review: Wintonbury Hills Golf Course
The Straits Course attempts to pay homage to links-style courses in Scotland and Ireland, but ultimately is unlike any other course in the world with its insane bunkering and breathtaking setting on Lake Michigan. With views of the Lake on every single hole, the Straits Course is arguably the most visually appealing course in America. Despite a high pricetag, every golfer should try their hand at this marvelous course. Just don’t expect a good score – the Straits Course is easily the hardest course I’ve ever played. … More Review: The Straits Course at Whistling Straits
The Irish Course flies under the radar compared to its world-famous neighbor, but visitors would be remiss to ignore this course. Deservedly ranked among the top public courses in America, this charming course is unique, affordable, and honestly much more playable for average golfers than any of the other Destination Kohler courses. … More Review: Irish Course at Whistling Straits
The River Course at Blackwolf Run is a special test of golf and one that will likely frustrate the average golfer. However, shotmakers will love playing this gem over and over, and many golfers actually prefer it to Whistling Straits. I don’t think I’ve ever played a course that made me think so hard on every shot, and thus I salute Pete Dye for creating a cerebral golfer’s paradise in The River Course. … More Review: The River Course at Blackwolf Run
Caddies told us that most golfers on packages completely neglect the Meadow Valleys Course. While it’s true this course lacks the dramatic backdrops of Whistling Straits, Meadow Valleys holds its own and rightfully belongs in the Top 100 public courses. My playing partner and I were extremely impressed and highly recommend this course to anyone going on a golf trip to Wisconsin. … More Review: The Meadow Valleys Course at Blackwolf Run

Although this review is now outdated, Lindsay Ervin’s Birdwood was a strong public golf course with a fantastic hilly terrain, lots of variety, and some beautiful holes. I hear Davis Love’s redesign is even better and I hope to play it someday soon. … More Review: Birdwood Golf Course
