Off-course delights
Not unexpectedly, for a company that specializes in premium bath fixtures, the spa at Destination Kohler is world-renowned. “Kohler Waters Spa is known as an
industry leader in hydrotherapy and harnessing the power of water,” said Garrett Mersberger, director of wellness for Kohler Co. “All of our spas offer a water experience, whether in a service or throughout your stay at the spa. Our aim is to help heal and cultivate through the water.” Perhaps unexpected is the rising popularity
of the Kohler Waters Spa among men. Favorites include the Woodsman Massage, created specifically with men in mind to alleviate muscular pain and reduce tension. Rain Man is another requested item, from the spa’s hydrotherapy treatments. Designed for men, it consists of a warm KOHLER custom Vichy shower experience that features hot stones on the back and feet and a full-body exfoliation. “We have leaders in the wellness
industry—from spa associates creating unique services based on our expertise in hydrotherapy, to certified yoga and cycling instructors who help build your personal wellness experience,” said Mersberger. “We work hard at Kohler, along with our wellness concierge, to
determine the best path and activities to help you achieve your wellness goals.” Dining is a treat at Kohler. Gourmet
cuisine is on tap at the Immigrant Restaurant, and this being Wisconsin, the cheese selection is world-class. Still, don’t miss the casual fare and craft beers at the Horse & Plow—and splurge for the beer-battered Gibbsville cheese curds. For a post-round dessert sensation off the Whistling Straits pub menu, dig into the best sticky toffee pudding this side of the Atlantic. And the perfect post-round group activity? A whiskey tasting at The Winery Bar. Power shopping at the Shops at Woodlake,
kayak paddling down the Sheboygan River at River Wildlife, river and lake fishing and fitness classes at Sports Core are among the other enticements—provided you’ve got any extra energy after dueling with 36 holes.

Lodging & packages
Destination Kohler offers a variety of accommodations for every taste and budget. Traditionalists should make every effort to stay in the main building—The American Club—at least once, at a classic Tudor structure that once housed Kohler’s immigrant employees. The sense of history and character is amazing. As one would expect from the industry leader in plumbing products, the bathrooms—faucets, shower heads, tubs and sinks—are without peer. Those preferring some extra space and
unbeatable spa access stay across the street in the Carriage House annex, while value-minded golfers stay down the street at the Inn on Woodlake, a handsome facility in its own right. The Inn recently expanded to offer two- and four-bedroom suites with common areas, ideal for golf groups who want to maximize time with each other on and off the course. The Sandhill Cabin, 10 minutes away, offers the ultimate in privacy. Destination Kohler offers a fistful of golf
packages that allow excellent flexibility for your group, big or small. The Dye-Abolical package, named after course designer Pete Dye, offers guests the opportunity to experience all that Kohler Golf has to offer. Included is three nights’ lodging, golf on all four courses, cart and caddie fees where they apply, welcome logo gift, replay rounds where available, golf lesson and much more. For a worthy splurge, the Ultimate
Buddies Trip add-on (for groups of 12 or more) serves up such potential niceties as group shirts, locker room nameplates and a 19th
professional, among the many options.
