1. Whistling Straits Golf Course - Straits and Irish
Overall Ratings
5 based on 196 reviews
Beautiful, well-tended course soon to be one of the best championship golf courses in the world.
Reviewed By SPK1951 - Montgomery, Texas
Annual Golf Group trip went to Kohler this year, played the Straits Course the second day. WOW. We were lucky with a perfectly flat Lake Michigan, and not a cloud in the sky; I cannot imagine anyone had better conditions than we did that day. Fabulous.
As to the golf, a tough course, well deserving of its reputation. Caddies were very good, it is a wonderful place to walk - allows one to both enjoy the scenery a bit more, and gives time to recover from the last shot before having to swing the club again. The course provides tee recommendations based on handicap and they were accurate - everyone in our group seemed to feel the tees they used were right for them. This is a course to visit, and go back to, and we will.

Open seasonally, May 1- Oct. 31. Botanic Garden based on children's literature in Sheboygan, WI.
Reviewed By katetahirah - Vancouver, Washington
I stopped overnight in Sheboygan primarily to visit the Bookworm Gardens & was not disappointed. Even for an adult without children, this place is wonderful. Around every corner is another surprise! The gazebo is a highlight, as is the Little House cabin (which unfortunately was under construction during my visit). Any parents with littles must go here! It’s such a great place for them to explore literature, music, & the beautiful Wisconsin woods.

The transporter must have transported me to Chicago or New York. I don't think I'm in Wisconsin anymore. In my opinion it would be hard pressed to find a museum with this quality exhibits anywhere. Even the restrooms are museum pieces. The artisan restaurant inside the museum is a great place for lunch or a snack. Entry to the museum is free but please, support the foundation with a donation.

Who knew there is so much to know about the history of plumbing fixtures? It was actually quite interesting to learn about the Kohler brothers and the birth and growth of their company. The variety of sinks , toilets, and bathtubs available was almost mind-boggling. The history of the planned community is also fascinating. Did not get to take the factory tour, but I imagine that would be a great experience.
5. Kohler Waters Spa

Be advised of major construction and spa renovation going on at Kohler until June 2018. Perhaps my experience would have been different at a different time, but nevertheless, I was told that the construction would not be disruptive or affect my spa visit. This was not the case. The facility is very nice, but alas, I was not able to truly enjoy any of it due to all of the sawing, drilling, and pounding going on. This was especially evident on the 4th floor whirlpool "relaxation" area and during my massage. I was not able to relax or zone out due to the horrific noise. It was impossible. Listen, if you want to stay open during construction, fine, but be honest about the noise and don't charge people full price for your services! Did I mention, I paid full price? As a frequent spa goer, my very best spa experience in the Midwest is still Spa Shiki in Missouri. My overall best spa visit in North America, was Pillar and Post 100 Fountain Spa, Niagara on the Lake. Sorry, Kohler, my experience was just average at best. Very disappointing.

This popular lakefront state park was established in the 1920s.

Unfortunately it was too cold, 0 degrees, to walk the beach but seeing the mist coming off the waves made up for it.

Award-winning 36 holes of challenging golf consists of two 18-hole, Pete Dye-designed layouts: River Course and Meadows Valleys Course.
Reviewed By David R - Kaukauna, Wisconsin
Even this late in the year the course was in awesome shape. I played the meows/valley course. Must have hit it just right as I was able to play 18 in under 2-1/2 hours. Even if it does take longer during the year this is just one of all their courses that you must play.

Clean, reasonably priced, easy access and fun things for everyone. They were wonderfully accommodating to my 91 year old mother and her caregiver. Easy access and handicapped parking. Her great grandchildren came for the day and played in the waterpark too. We all had so much fun. Good food. Great room service. Close to downtown, cute restaurants and shops inside and out and right on Lake Michigan.

Rich in history and beautifully renovated for the winery, outdoor dining, & restaurant offerings. Staff is very friendly, accommodating, and knowledgeable about the venue, products, and options for both dining and tasting. Have experienced generous tasting along with help choosing the best option to join for my situation. Both dinner experiences have been excellent and well attended by staff and guests. Recommend highly for a pleasant outing.
10. Acuity Flagpole
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 68 reviews
The flagpole and memorial can be visited at any time. Flag Facts: 70- by 140-foot flag is the world's largest free-flying American flag. Tallest flagpole in North America--nearly 100 feet taller than the Statue of Liberty. 400-foot flagpole weighs approximately 420,000 pounds. Over 500 gallons of paint cover the pole. 11-foot diameter at base tapers to 5 1/2-foot diameter at top. Three pendulum-style tuned mass dampers reduce movement and vibration. Designed to withstand a low temperature of -42 degrees Fahrenheit. The 9,800-square-foot flag, which weighs 340 pounds, is more than four times the size of the average U.S. home. Each star is nearly 3 feet across and each stripe is over 5 feet high. Acuity is proud to dedicate the Veterans memorial at the base to all who assure our freedom and to those that continue to serve. We owe our gratitude and thanks for their service and sacrifice. There are more than 750 inscribed pavers at the base of the pole that list the names of every Sheboygan County Veteran killed in the line of duty. A full list of names along with a map with the location of each can be found in a free handout at the base of the flagpole. The flag may be taken down temporarily during times of maintenance (please check our website) or severe weather. The flag will be lowered to half staff during official observances.

Very impressed that a business would do this. Nice to see a lot of bricks with the names of Veterans from various wars and periods. Flagpole and the sheer size of the flag are impressive! Very well kept and clean. Flag was at half-mast so...MoreThank you for the positive comments, Joe!
