In 1970, Jack Nicklaus and Pete Dye built a course at the old Playboy Club in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin. More than 30 years later Nicklaus returned to help cement Sheboygan County's rep as the best golf destination you've never heard of. The Bull at Pinehurst Farms is an hour's drive north of Milwaukee, near the village of Kohler, where the golf world will assemble in August for the PGA Championship at Dye's Whistling Straits. The Bachmann family raised champion Holsteins at Pinehurst Farms until a 1993 barn blaze ended the dairy-farming era, leaving Nicklaus to carve a layout from 418 acres of oaks, maples, meadows, wetlands and ponds. The 432-yard 5th hole is a standout: A claustrophobic drive through a chute of trees leads to a fairway that doglegs left around a deep ravine. The Bear tempts you to be unwisely bullish at the 351-yard 11th, where a pond divides two fairways. Long hitters can have a go at the green, while the less daring can opt for the left fairway and still have a short iron in. While The Bull is no Whistling Straits, it bears comparison with the Blackwolf Run courses at Kohler's American Club. -excerpt from the article "Top Ten You Can Play," GOLF MAGAZINE, February 2004
