You can still play the PGA Championship golf course for this summers PGA. Just head up to Wisconsin and tee it up at Whistling Straits before the course closes for the final championship preparations. Some 190 temporary structures will be built on the course.

Are you ready for Kohler, they are ready for you. No matter which of their four Pete Dye designed championship courses you wish to play, this summer is a great time to do it.

Yes construction has started on the Straits Course for the PGA Championship. But that doesn’t mean it’s too late to take Dad up to play for Fathers Day or the 4th of July weekend.

How about a team event. The PGA Amateur Team Championship will be played from July 31st through August 2nd.

If you just want a golf package there are plenty to pick from. Starting with Dye-Abolical, the Golf Escape, Golf Kohler, Rounds and Relaxation, Ultimate Buddies, Golf Blackwolf Run, or the Kohler Golf Academy for Women.

“We are tremendously excited to officially have on-course construction underway here at Whistling Straits,” said 2015 PGA Championship Director Jason Mengel. “With 75 days remaining until the championship, we’re right on schedule. It’s been a very busy and fun time, made even more thrilling by the incredible support we’ve seen from fans in Wisconsin, across the United States and around the world, as well as from our many corporate partners.”
