Whistling Straits is home to two golf courses in Kohler, Wisc.: The Straits Course and the Irish Course. Both courses are Pete Dye designs, owned by the Kohler Company and part of the famed The American Club resort (along with two more Dye courses at Blackwolf Run). In 2000, just two years after opening, the Straits Course was selected as the site of the 2004 PGA Championship. The Straits Course features rugged, windswept terrain along the shore of Lake Michigan. The lake is visible from every hole on the course, and the course plays along two miles of shoreline. The Scottish links-inspired course features more than 1,000 sand bunkers.
