Kohler Expands Golf Legacy with New 14-Hole Course, Purebred Farm

King Collins Dormer to bring minimalist, Golden Age-inspired design to Wisconsin’s premier golf destination.

Kohler, Wisconsin — already one of the most celebrated golf destinations in the world — is adding a new chapter to its storied portfolio. The resort has announced plans for Purebred Farm, a 14-hole walking-only course designed by the acclaimed team at King Collins Dormer Golf Course Design.

Located just west of Blackwolf Run, Purebred Farm will join Kohler’s impressive lineup of courses: the Straits and Irish at Whistling Straits, and the River and Meadow Valleys layouts at Blackwolf Run — plus The Baths, a top-rated par-3 experience.

Architect Rob Collins told Golfweek that the project represents “an opportunity to build something entirely different with a great piece of land and a wonderful client.”

The design firm — led by Tad King, Rob Collins, and Trev Dormer — is known for bold, original projects such as Sweetens Cove in Tennessee and Landmand in Nebraska, both ranked among the best public-access courses in their states. The team is also working on a master plan for Royal Dornoch in Scotland and a new course at 7 Mile Beach in Tasmania.

Construction of Purebred Farm is expected to begin in fall 2025, with an opening slated for fall 2027. The 4,900-yard layout will span 47 acres and feature a mix of par 3s, 4s, and 5s across a routing that winds through prairie, farmland, and river valleys — while preserving existing hiking trails and natural wetlands.

Designed to echo the strategy and artistry of golf’s Golden Age, Purebred Farm will embrace minimalist principles, fast turf, and an emphasis on creativity.

“Kohler is committed to growing the game of golf and expanding access to more individuals at all skill levels,” said Dirk Willis, vice president of golf, landscape, and retail for Kohler Hospitality. “Each of the last five years has been record-setting for us, and we believe Purebred Farm will continue that momentum — offering guests a new way to experience Kohler golf.”

The Tomczyk Cabin, currently a lodging option on the property, will be converted into a rest station along the course.

“Our new course reflects a timeless, environmentally conscious approach,” Willis added. “We’re letting the land dictate the golf — just as the great architects once did.”
