Blackwolf Run

Blackwolf Run

Part of the Kohler, Wisconsin Resort, Blackwolf Run offers an award-winning 36 holes of championship golf. Blackwolf Run consists of two courses, River and Meadow Valleys. Designed by Pete Dye, both courses navigate the Sheboygan River Valley to provide stunning vistas and natural challenges across each hole. 

What was formerly the hunting grounds of Chief Black Wolf and his Winnebago tribe, Blackwolf Run holds a thrilling history and allows golfers to establish a history of their own.

Dye’s philosophy often includes forcing golfers to think strategically and take calculated risks, and Blackwolf Run is no different. The River Course, in particular, features numerous holes with water hazards and dramatic elevation changes that demand precise shot-making.

Blackwolf Run also offers The Baths, a 10-hole short course perfect for families or groups wanting a more laid-back experience with food and beverages. The perfect place got families or groups make sure to add Blackwolf Run to your next trip to Kholer!

River Course, Hole 8

Premier Golf’s Favorite Hole

No 8 (Par 5) – “Hell’s Gate”

The 8th hole on Blackwolf Run’s River Course features a downhill tee shot and a split fairway. You have three options: go for the green, lay up to the lower left fairway and approach the elevated green, or take a more daring lay-up to the right fairway for a better angle to the green, which slopes from left to right.

“Just finished my first golf trip to the Kohler resort with my son. We had the pleasure of playing all of the courses, including the Baths. Our overall experience was close to a 10 out of 10. The conditions of each of the courses was excellent, the caddies were very helpful and every staff member we engaged with were extremely friendly and helpful. The River and Meadow Valley courses were top notch and demanding as well.”
