Incredible investments

These large-scale transformations join the refreshed Kohler Waters Spa and the ongoing renovation of Woodlake Market as part of the resort’s investment in the region to elevate world-class hospitality, wellness, and luxury offerings to all of its guests.

“This next chapter in Kohler, Wisconsin’s evolution reflects our ongoing commitment to creating dynamic, memorable experiences for our guests,” said Stephen Beaumont, President – Hospitality. “With the construction of Purebred Farm Golf Course and The Serve, and the renovation of The Carriage House, we’re introducing spaces for guests and local residents that integrate wellness, community, and connection, while honoring our resort’s rich legacy of craftsmanship, innovation, and hospitality.”

Expanding its renowned golf offerings which includes the iconic Whistling Straits and Blackwolf Run courses, Kohler is solidifying its position as one of the world’s premier golf destinations with Purebred Farm, a new 14-hole course located just west of the acclaimed Blackwolf Run complex. King Collins Dormer Golf Course Design of Chattanooga, Tennessee, will design the course, which is scheduled to begin construction in fall 2025 and open in fall 2027.

Spanning 47 acres, the walking-only, multi-loop layout will feature a mix of par 3’s, 4’s, and 5’s inspired by Golden Age golf architecture. The course highlights Kohler’s natural prairie and river valley landscapes, while avoiding all existing wetlands and preserving existing hiking trails. Kohler will transform the historic Tomczyk Cabin – a lodging option in the Kohler Cabin Collection – into a rest station on the course. These features demonstrate Kohler’s commitment to sustainability, creativity, and the continued growth of the game.

“Kohler is committed to expanding access to more individuals at all skill levels,” said Dirk Willis, VP-Golf, Landscape & Retail for Kohler Hospitality. “Our golf business continues to steadily grow, and this new experience will offer an exciting and dynamic way to enjoy the game – further cementing our position as a global golf destination and elevating the region’s tourism profile.”

The Serve broke ground earlier this month, and this impressive facility will feature six indoor pickleball courts, two heated outdoor platform tennis courts, and an elevated social lounge. The new venue will host tournaments, lessons, and recreational play for guests of all ages and skill levels. Once open, The Serve will create a vibrant, year-round hub where the community and visitors can gather, compete, and enjoy racquet sports. 

Complementing these new recreation experiences is the renovation of The Carriage House, the resort’s wellness-focused lodging option with direct access to Kohler Waters Spa. The Carriage House will close November 3, 2025, for a refresh of its 55 guestrooms, corridors, and lobby, with a planned reopening on May 1, 2026. The revitalized rooms will feature fully updated bathrooms, custom furnishings, curated artwork, and a brighter, contemporary color palette, reflecting the enhanced luxury wellness experience offered throughout the resort. Guests can continue to enjoy the full Kohler Waters Spa experience and amenities while the renovation is underway.

Overall, these projects reflect Kohler’s obsession with creating the ultimate getaway for their guests and we will continue to update you on this project as it nears completion.
