Wisconsin (East)
Wisconsin is one of the country's best golf destinations. Each of the best Wisconsin golf courses on our list have received no less than four stars. Erin Hills's rugged beauty, excellent holes and authentic links golf experience make it a must-visit. Whistling Straits is another outstanding links-style championship layout with four lakeside holes on bluffs that descend into Lake Michigan. Blackwolf Run is an impressive Pete Dye design with innovatively crafted bunkers and riverside views in a woodland environment. For a taste of one of Wisconsin's most challenging parkland layouts, head to the aptly named Brute course at Grand Geneva Resort & Spa.
