The week after the 2021 Ryder Cup at Whistling Straits, Bryson DeChambeau was headed to Mesquite, Nevada, to compete in the Professional Long Drivers Association’s World Championships. But watching his pre-shot routine on the tee box of the 603-yard, par-5 fifth hole during the Friday afternoon fourball matches, you would have thought he was already there. Taking aim at least 30 degrees right of the opening stretch of fairway, DeChambeau unleashed a mammoth tee shot to cut the corner of the dogleg.
The result?
A 417-yard drive (as the crow flies) that left him a knockdown wedge to the green. DeChambeau’s eagle squared the match against Jon Rahm and Tyrrell Hatton, and you could argue it was the first of many haymakers that ultimately rendered the event a TKO for the Americans.
The 43rd playing of the Ryder Cup in Wisconsin made headlines for reasons beyond the gargantuan drives that the American team’s longest hitter uncorked that week. Most notably, it was only the fifth time that the prestigious international team event was contested at a public-accessible American course—Bethpage Black, in 2025, represents the 6th such occurrence. The difference between Bethpage and Whistling Straits, however, is the luxuriously appointed resort that acts like the lifeblood of the Wisconsin town.
So while you can book a tee time at Bethpage Black in the weeks after the Ryder Cup, you can effectively do one better in Kohler, Wisconsin: Not only can you walk in the players footsteps on the Straits course, marveling at how far the pros hit their drives, you can stay in the luxurious American Club, enjoying all of the same plush amenities that the players did during that eventful week in late September. Even better, the resort has created several golf-focused packages that ensure you’ll experience the very best that Kohler, Wisconsin, has to offer, both on and off the course.
In keeping with the Ryder Cup theme, booking the five-night Experience Kohler package is akin to routing the incoming Europeans, as the American team did in 2021. The package centers on four rounds of golf—one on each of the resort’s 18-hole courses—but also includes (among other experiences) a 30-minute lesson at the Kohler Golf Academy; unlimited use of the resort’s practice facilities; complimentary replay rounds on the Meadow Valleys, Irish, and The Baths courses; and daily access to the resort’s 500-acre River Wildlife wilderness preserve.
The three-night To Dye Four package, by contrast, still includes four rounds of golf, complimentary replay rounds, a 30-minute lesson, and unlimited use of the practice facilities. It just doesn’t factor in access to River Wildlife and lacks other lifestyle services, such as an 80-minute treatment at Kohler Waters Spa, which is a part of the larger Experience Kohler package.
Think of the two packages like spectator passes to the Ryder Cup. The Experience Kohler package is for the golf-obsessed fan who wants to be just outside the ropes for all three days of competition. The To Dye Four package is like getting tickets just for the final day of singles matches—it’s all of the same drama and excitement, just delivered in a smaller bundle.
Either way, you can’t lose.
