Whistling Straits takes center stage of the golf world this week as it hosts 24 of the best players from America and Europe as they duke it out for the Ryder Cup. The course is a visual brute designed by Pete Dye that is sure to serve up a healthy dose of drama.
But perhaps the best part of Whistling Straits is its accessibility. As a part of Destination Kohler, the course is open to public play, meaning you can tee it up where the pros do.
