Kohler's Got a New Colt in the Stable - Meet Purebred Farm

By Brian Weis

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.

About: Brian Weis

While Brian Weis has made a name for himself in the golf world, he also appreciates the finer things in life—like a world-class spa treatment after a grueling 18 holes (or even after a casual round where the only thing working hard was his golf cart). A self-proclaimed "golfer who enjoys relaxation more than practice," Brian has developed a deep appreciation for massages that unknot his questionable swing mechanics, saunas that sweat out a few too many post-round drinks, and infinity pools with views as stunning as a well-manicured par 3.

Brian’s spa journey began as a reluctant tag-along to couples' massages and resort spa packages but quickly evolved into a full-fledged appreciation for hot stone therapy, deep-tissue recovery, and the occasional seaweed wrap (don’t knock it till you try it). Now, he seeks out the best spa retreats, thermal baths, and relaxation havens wherever his travels take him—whether it's a luxury golf resort with a five-star spa or a hidden wellness gem perfect for unwinding in style.
