I truly have no idea (as I've never been there)...but a first guess would be Whistling Straits in WI.

Ah yes...I see the little Celtic symbols in the stone work on the club house...

Are these holes really as dreadful as they look in that photo?

As a side not, is it just me, or do the models in golf gear adverts always look like they have never played golf in their lives. Just something about them...

The guys are totally correct, Craig, that's the 9th green in the foreground and the 18th behind it.

Absolutely Whistling Straits, Straits course.
What does it matter if the poor player can putt all the way from tee to green, provided that he has to zigzag so frequently that he takes six or seven putts to reach it?     --Alistair Mackenzie--

WStriats, with the Irish Cottage-style clubhouse framing the 9th/18th hole/greens and the dozens (hundreds?) of mounds Dye built for folks to sit on to watch the final holes on each nine. The 18th is widely viewed as one of WS's worst holes, including some regular GCA posters. Both holes traverse a broad and rugged racine that fronts or runs alongside the two holes.
