Destination Kohler Releases 2018 'Dye-Abolical' and 'Golf Kohler' Stay-and-Play Packages

Guests are Invited to Pair with New Inn on Woodlake Multi-Bedroom Suites to Create Exceptional Group Golf Experience

By Brian Weis

Destination Kohler - Wisconsin's golf leader and home to four acclaimed Pete Dye-designed courses across Whistling Straits and Blackwolf Run - is now taking 2018 reservations for the popular "Dye-Abolical" and "Golf Kohler" stay-and-play packages. Destination Kohler is the Midwest's only Forbes Five-Star and AAA Five-Diamond resort-hotel and recently selected by Conde Nast Traveler as the #1 resort in the Midwest.

The three-night "Dye-Abolical" features four rounds of golf per person, one each on The Straits and The Irish courses at Whistling Straits and The River and Meadow Valleys layouts at Blackwolf Run. Cart, caddie and forecaddie fees are included along with a 30-minute golf lesson and gift pouch with logoed items. Complimentary replays are available on The Irish and Meadow Valleys and golfers receive a 20% discount at the Forbes Five-Star Kohler Waters Spa.

Rates (based on double occupancy) start at $987 for accommodations at the AAA Three-Diamond Inn on Woodlake and $1,116 at The American Club, Wisconsin's only Forbes Five-Star property.

"Golf Kohler" differs only in terms of stay (two nights versus three) and rounds of golf (three versus four). Play on The Straits - three-time PGA Championship host and 2020 Ryder Cup venue - and The River - recently ranked among Dye's greatest golf course designs by GOLF.com - is included. Rates begin at $761 at the Inn on Woodlake and $851 at The American Club.

"We're the only resort in the world featuring four golf courses by Mr. Dye, who is widely regarded as the greatest architect of his generation," says Dirk Willis, PGA, GM & Group Director - Golf, Kohler Co. "Given the rising popularity of buddy trips and our team's unrivaled focus on guest service, it's the perfect time to lock-in one of the Inn on Woodlake's 10 new multi-bedroom suites."

Destination Kohler opened the new two- and four-bedroom suites on Jan. 1, after a year-long expansion project. All feature a central common area with a large flat screen TV and fireplace, plus kitchenette with beverage refrigerator, dishwasher, microwave, coffee maker and sink. Bedrooms are configured with either two twins or one king bed and feature a large flat screen TV, minifridge, coffee maker and private bathroom with double vanity and walk-in KOHLER© shower. A patio extends the floor plan of some of the four-bedroom models.

The boutique Inn on Woodlake also boasts an updated and more spacious lobby. The central common space, or Atrium, will continue to offer complimentary breakfast to guests, and has been expanded to now include a cocktail bar and a patio with direct access to the popular putting green overlooking Wood Lake.

About: Brian Weis

Brian Weis is the mastermind behind GolfTrips.com, a vast network of golf travel and directory sites covering everything from the rolling fairways of Wisconsin to the sunbaked desert layouts of Arizona. If there’s a golf destination worth visiting, chances are, Brian has written about it, played it, or at the very least, found a way to justify a "business trip" there.

As a card-carrying member of the Golf Writers Association of America (GWAA), International Network of Golf (ING), Golf Travel Writers of America (GTWA), International Golf Travel Writers Association (IGTWA), and The Society of Hickory Golfers (SoHG), Brian has the credentials to prove that talking about golf is his full-time job. In 2016, his peers even handed him The Shaheen Cup, a prestigious award in golf travel writing—essentially the Masters green jacket for guys who don’t hit the range but still know where the best 19th holes are.

Brian’s love for golf goes way back. As a kid, he competed in junior and high school golf, only to realize that his dreams of a college golf scholarship had about the same odds as a 30-handicap making a hole-in-one. Instead, he took the more practical route—working on the West Bend Country Club grounds crew to fund his University of Wisconsin education. Little did he know that mowing greens and fixing divots would one day lead to a career writing about the best courses on the planet.

In 2004, Brian turned his golf passion into a business, launching GolfWisconsin.com. Three years later, he expanded his vision, and GolfTrips.com was born—a one-stop shop for golf travel junkies looking for their next tee time. Today, his empire spans all 50 states, and 20+ international destinations.

On the course, Brian is a weekend warrior who oscillates between a 5 and 9 handicap, depending on how much he's been traveling (or how generous he’s feeling with his scorecard). His signature move" A high, soft fade that his playing partners affectionately (or not-so-affectionately) call "The Weis Slice." But when he catches one clean, his 300+ yard drives remind everyone that while he may write about golf for a living, he can still send a ball into the next zip code with the best of them.

Whether he’s hunting down the best public courses, digging up hidden gems, or simply outdriving his buddies, Brian Weis is living proof that golf is more than a game—it’s a way of life.
