River Course
The River Course is Blackwolf Run's star attraction, and is one of only 16 courses in the United States to be awarded Golf Digest's coveted fifth star. The golf course is part of the Herb Kohler stable, which also includes Whistling Straits next door, and the Duke's Course, St Andrews. The common feature pulling all of these courses together is the rugged and enchanting aesthetic that greets visiting golfers.
Kohler's passion for links golf is the basis for this stylistic penchant, and another of the manager's finest traits is his belief that the greatest courses should remain available to the golfing masses. With that in mind, Blackwolf Run and its big brother at Whistling Straits can be yours, courtesy of a once-in-a-lifetime golf tour on the shores of Lake Michigan.
Measuring 7,404 yards from the back tees this beast of a course can intimidate most golfers with its target landing areas, clever bunkering and large undulating greens. The natural beauty of the course matches its difficulty and the layout continually ranks as one of America's best resort courses with Golf Magazine going as far to say the course "must be considered the nation's finest public-access course of modern times".

Meadow Valleys Course
The Meadow Valleys course at Blackwolf Run is a subtle but tricky layout that winds through the rolling meadows and deep ravines of the natural of Wisconsin landscape. The championship course will give most a challenge of their golfing ability but the choice of tees on offer also allows the average golfer to take some of the dangers out of play.
The Meadow Valleys course is ranked in the Top 100 golf courses in America and is the perfect companion to a round on the River course while on a golf holiday in Wisconsin.
