Whistling Straits - Irish Course

The Irish Course completes 72 holes of the most diverse golf experience in the world. The course is another Pete Dye masterpiece and a perfect companion to the adjacent, stunning Straits Course.Tranquil grasslands. Soaring dunes. Cavernous bunkers. And, to ensure that golfers will remember the Irish Course, Dye claims he has used "every trick I've ever learned" in routing and sculpting the hole dynamics. Capitalizing on the endlessly fickle personality of nearby Lake Michigan, the Irish Course offers intriguing prospects at every turn. Carry the creek or lay up short from the tee on #9. Steer clear of the 40-foot bunkers on the right or fall victim to the wetlands on the left of the "blind" par three at #13.<br><br> The Irish Course has ten bridges over four streams that meander through the property and offers panoramic views of Lake Michigan from several holes. <br><br> The current course record on the Irish course is a 72, set by Charlie Brown during a Wisconsin PGA Stroke Play Event in 2002.
