Does anyone have an ideal itinerary for this "perfect" Wisco trip? I've done EH + Kohler, so wanted to try and get in SV + EH + Straits. Was thinking if this was possible:

Feedback

Depends on your flights but if you have done Erin Hills and the Straits before, I would spend the extra night SV to soak in that experience.

Feedback

I am not privy to the secret Lawsonia handshake, nor do I keep a pot of incense burning atop a Lawsonia scorecard. I like the course. I think it is worthy of a discussion of for the top 10 public venues in the state, although it is hardly a slam dunk. There I said it. I'm a heretic. On a scale of $'s/quality it stands up better.

Feedback

flying from NY we can't land in MKE before 10am, so our itinerary is likely going to be:

Feedback

Something to consider is Whistling has a pretty solid twilight rate. Not sure what time of year you're heading over, but I know in late September-early October you can get on around 1:30 PM for $210. If you were still looking for opinions, I'd say:

Feedback

How far is MKE from Sand Valley? Google says ~2.5 hours, SV says approximately the same, but someone told me it's 3.5 hours....seems hard to believe unless road closures?

Feedback

What Ode1 said perfectly. I think SV is the more difficult course and requires better shot making. But what is really interesting about MD is that there is a HUGE landing area for the less accomplished player, yet the same hole offers a low handicap player a speed slot option off the tee if you want to test your game.

Day 1: Relive the Milwaukee Greater Open

We'll start off in Milwaukee (assuming you're flying in from out of state) at the venerable Brown Deer Park, one of the city's municipal golf courses. Long-time host of the PGA Tour's Greater Milwaukee Open from 1994–2009, Brown Deer Park delivers a classic, tree-lined test that's kept in great shape, a perfect warm-up to bigger things.

Day 2: Blackwolf Run

Apologies are needed for driving by Palmer's The Bog in Saulkville without stopping, but the 72-hole American Club is calling. You actually have five Top-100-caliber choices if you can pull yourself away from the luxuries of the resort to see The Bull at Pinehurst Farms, a demanding Nicklaus track in nearby Sheboygan Falls.

Day 3: Whistling Straits

If your legs have the willpower, walking 36 holes on the Irish and Straits courses at Whistling Straits is doable, as long as a caddie does the bag-toting and directs you through the maze of dunes and bunkers.

Day 4: A U.S. Open test of golf

Next up after a one-hour-plus drive to tiny Hartford (60 miles) is Erin Hills, which the pros shredded in 2017, leaving in doubt if a major will ever return. Walking the Kettle Moraine, a hilly region west of Milwaukee carved centuries ago by fast-moving glaciers, isn't easy. You can rest easy once the round is over.

Day 5: Loveable Lawsonia

Where Wisconsin goes off-the-rails cool are the Golf Courses of Lawsonia, a living museum of modern and Golden Age architecture in Green Lake (70 miles from Erin Hills). Lawsonia Links was designed by William Langford and Theodore J. Moreau in 1930, complemented by a sister course, the Woodlands, in the 1980s.

Day 6: Sand Valley

This remote golf destination has grown up in a hurry since developer Mike Keiser debuted the original Sand Valley course in 2016. The sandy soil and rolling terrain were a perfect canvass to unleash minimalists Coore & Crenshaw and Kidd, whose Mammoth Dunes made a big splash opening earlier this year. You probably won't lose a ball all day.

Day 7: Flowers and a quarry

It's a hardcore sprint to the finish line. Those hell-bent on checking everything off their bucket list will depart early for Stevens Point to land the first morning tee time at SentryWorld, famous for its "Flower Hole", a par 3 surrounded by 36,000 flowers (It's a free drop if you land in the beds).

Plan Your Experience

Golf trip planning can be a year-round expedition. At Erin Hills, we call these intrepid planners “trip captains” — those that research, plan, lead and book their group’s golf experience each year.

Lodging at Erin Hills

A lush, abundant terrain peppered with homey cottages and friendly villages. A poet’s dream and a golfer’s paradise. A land of ancient lore, far, far away.

Introducing the Drumlin

A 63,000-square-foot putting course now open to those with an Erin Hills tee time.

Issue 7: Winter 2022

There’s no better way to enhance your on-course experience at Erin Hills than to take a caddie. And there’s no better way to increase your chances of play well than to heed their advice. In this, the 7th edition of our Erin Hills Journal, the caddies themselves reveal the secrets to playing (and enjoying) our course to its fullest.

Issue 6: Summer 2021

Of course, can we go with: No other game can boast a home field that dates back some 10,000 years. Now that, you could say, is old school. Read the latest Erin Hills Journal.

Issue 5: Winter 2021

In this issue of Erin Hills Journal, you’ll find how the connections to the game’s Auld Grey genesis in Scotland have wound their way — in some grand facsimile — to Erin Hills. And how the modern game continues to advance with bright stars, burgeoning players and a new breed of stewards pushing its limits.

Issue 4: Summer 2020

The health, economic and social challenges of recent months have affected all of us in a variety of ways, but our ancient game that can’t be confined indoors has provided a much needed haven and release. As courses opened and grass began to green, bunker rakes disappeared and unusual objects appeared in holes.

Making my first golf trip in quite some time. I am choosing between Sand Valley or Erin Hills (unless I am missing somewhere in the midwest that you can recommend?). All input is appreciated!

secretmidam

Thanks for the suggestions. Going to book hopefully next week! So Mammoth is a more playable course vs. Sand Valley?

rtraudt

Yep, remain closed. Just sent an email that mentioned maybe opening in September, but it’s still TBD.

kizdoc

We're doing a guys golf trip to Erin Hills, then driving to Sand Valley and staying on property for 3 days at the end of August. Can't wait.

rtraudt

You won't be disappointed! Only thing I would do differently would be to add on a round at Lawsonia Links if you can on the way to or from SV, but I'm a Lawsonia proselytizer...

Is Sand Valley now in prime condition? Do the latest groups who have played it believe the Greens are mature?

secretmidam

Thanks for the suggestions. Settled on Sand Valley. Played Mammoth Dunes for the first trip, and The Sandbox. Mammoth Dunes did not disappoint. Lodge was amazing! Sitting by the fire pits watching the sunset and seeing the course at dusk was breathtaking. Already planning my second trip.
