Leaving Monday to go on a trip with my dad and some of his buddies. We are playing Erin Hills, Sand Valley, and the Kohler courses. I have played Whistling Straits and River at Blackwolf Run, has anybody played the others up there? I am super stoked for Erin Hills. Also looking forward to the Spotted Cows that will be consumed.

Played Erin hills about six years ago one year before the open. If the fescue is grown it is hard. Not an easy walk but a great course.

Just played Erin hills, lawsonia, and the bull at Pinehurst farms.

Really enjoyed all 3, and the bull may have been my favorite course of the 3. Lawsonia has been shooting up rankings list, and is a fun course.

All of them are wonderful; I still contend Blackwolf River is the most difficult course in the state (more difficult than Whistling Straits and Erin Hills) from the proper tees.

If you get a chance, get out to Lawsonia and play the Links course there. It's a Golden Age relic that is just recently getting it's due as a truly great American classic. One of the best (and toughest) courses in Wisconsin.

Erin Hills is awesome. I played like shite but it was still a great time.

As if I wasn’t jealous enough of your golf… you get to drink this glorious beverage.

We missed Sand Valley when we went, but I’m hopeful to get up there next time. I really enjoyed Erin Hills, but I think it also could be because of how well I played on the back 9 (and eagled 2, which was sweet)

Enjoyed both Blackwolf and Whistling courses, but the Straits is by far my favorite out of those. Also, the Baths is the best par 3 experience I’ve ever had. Just an absolute delight.

Only negative in Kohler was I’ve never seen more mosquitos in my life.

Anyone make any trips this year and report back? Making a trip when weather turns warm.

Is bathes worth squeezing in? I very much enjoy the cradle at Pinehurst.

Hopefully you’re staying on-site at Erin Hills. It’s a great smaller setup and they bend over backwards to take care of you. It’s a stark contrast to Kohler.

I’m planing to get out to Sand Valley but I held off until Lido was done. Hope to do it in the next year or two.

ETA - shite. Should have noticed the date and read the whole thread. Sounds like a great trip.
