Chicago to Kohler

Chicago to Kohler car service for golf and the spa

The American Club began in 1918 as housing for Kohler Co. workers and became a resort hotel in 1981, with Kohler Waters Spa as part of the resort. Blackwolf Run, Pete Dye's two 18-hole courses in the village, has hosted the U.S. Women's Open twice, and Whistling Straits, about 10 miles away in Haven on the Lake Michigan shore, hosted the 2021 Ryder Cup.

Clubs fill a luggage space quickly, so count golf bags as bags when you book: an SUV takes 6, and for a bigger outing an Executive Sprinter seats 14, with the club count telling us how to plan the space. Keep the car by the hour, with a 2-hour minimum, for the runs between the hotel and the courses, or book the ride up and the ride home on their own.
