King Collins Dormer brings minimalist, Golden Age-inspired design to Wisconsin’s premier golf destination.
Kohler, Wisconsin – already one of the most celebrated golf destinations in the world – adds a new chapter to its legendary portfolio. The resort has announced plans for Purebred Farm, a 14-hole walking course designed by the acclaimed team at King Collins Dormer Golf Course Design.
Located just west of Blackwolf Run, Purebred Farm will join Kohler’s impressive roster of courses: the Straits and Irish at Whistling Straits, and the River and Meadow Valleys at Blackwolf Run – plus The Baths, a top-rated par-3 experience.
Architect Rob Collins told Golfweek that the project “offers an opportunity to build something completely different with a great piece of land and a great customer.”
The design firm – led by Tad King, Rob Collins and Trev Dormer – is known for bold, original projects such as Sweetens Cove in Tennessee and Landmand in Nebraska, both ranked among the best public courses in their states. The team is also working on a masterplan for Royal Dornoch in Scotland and a new course at 7 Mile Beach in Tasmania.
Construction of Purebred Farm is expected to begin in the fall of 2025, with an opening planned for the fall of 2027. The 4,900-yard layout will span 47 acres and feature a mix of par 3s, 4s and 5s on a route that winds through prairie, farmland and river valleys – while preserving existing hiking trails and natural wetlands.
Designed to reflect the strategy and artistry of golf’s Golden Age, Purebred Farm embraces minimalist principles, fast grass and an emphasis on creativity.
“Kohler is committed to growing the game of golf and expanding access to more individuals at all skill levels,” said Dirk Willis, vice president of golf, landscape and retail for Kohler Hospitality. “Each of the last five years has been a record for us, and we believe Purebred Farm will continue that momentum – offering guests a new way to experience Kohler golf.”
The Tomczyk Cabin, currently an on-site accommodation option, will be converted into a rest station along the route.
“Our new direction reflects a timeless, environmentally conscious approach,” Willis added. “We let the land dictate the wave, just as the great architects once did.”
