Golf in Wisconsin: Complete Guide
Wisconsin has quietly become one of America's most exciting golf states. Whistling Straits hosted the 2021 Ryder Cup, Sand Valley is the most talked-about new resort in the country, and Erin Hills hosted the 2017 U.S. Open.
Overview
Wisconsin's emergence as a golf destination is remarkable. In just two decades, Whistling Straits (Ryder Cup), Sand Valley (Coore & Crenshaw), and Erin Hills (U.S. Open) put the Badger State on the world golf map. The glacial terrain provides excellent natural topography for golf design.
