Recently voted one of the 10 best golf courses in Wisconsin by Golf.com, three guests will join member Greg Rortvedt for 18 holes, lunch and drinks at Pine Hills Country Club.
Located two hours north of Elmhurst and just down the street from Blackwolf Run in Kohler, Wisconsin, Pine Hills Country Club is known for its undulating fast greens and tree lined rolling hills cut by glaciers leaving a beautiful landscape. The par 71 features a 6,481 yard layout.
The well-manicured and pristine grounds feature the Pigeon River running throughout the course leaving a challenging layout and countless beautiful views.
Called "One of the state's best kept secrets" by The Fried Egg's Andy Johnson, Pine Hills is an eruption of contour as holes are draped like linen over brawny knees and elbows of earth. Fairways pitch this way and that going where the land takes them, and Architect Harry Smead's greens are miniature versions of the natural movements, full of swales, knobs and dips. Famed golf architect, Drew Rogers has been tending to the course over most of the last decade, polishing this and burnishing that but leaving the remarkable green contour alone. A notable improvement was removing the forest of trees along the inside of the curving par-4 18th, exposing the ravine on the left and giving players something sinister to think about as they tee off. If Smead had designed more courses like this, we'd know his name as well as we do Perry Maxwell or Seth Raynor.
Mutually agreeable date.
