Blackwolf Run Golf Course

Two courses designed by Pete Dye. Over two centuries ago, Chief Blackwolf and his Winnebago tribe camped in the Sheboygan River Valley, the best hunting and fishing territory between Chicago and Green Bay. It was a land and river basin sculpted by glacial runoff. It was also a temporary home to the Chippewas, who tried to do battle with Blackwolf. Wild game was so plentiful that Indians from the Mississippi would hike to this area and carry skins and dried fish all the way back home. When it opened, the River Course created a three-month lead time for a tee-time. Golf Digest named it the best new public course of 1988. It caused Herb Kohler and Pete Dye to build a second course called Meadow Valleys which surprisingly didn’t change the lead time one bit.
