WHISTLING STRAITS GOLF COURSE

Pete Dye's windswept masterpiece along Lake Michigan's shoreline delivers the most authentic links experience you'll find outside of Scotland, with fescue-lined fairways that undulate through towering sand dunes and waste bunkers that seem to stretch for miles. The relentless lake breeze and firm-and-fast conditions demand every club in your bag, while the dramatic elevation changes—particularly the cliff-top holes—create both breathtaking vistas and gut-wrenching approach shots. This is American links golf at its most unforgiving and spectacular, where even scratch players celebrate bogeys and the few pars feel like birdies.
