Although that new course at the Village of Kohler on the old Pinehurst Farms is only 60 miles from my home, I haven't been there during construction to check it out. I saw some plans in that County's land planners office, however. It looks like a "second bite of the apple" concept to me. The ironically named Pinehurst Farms was previously a world famous Angus breeding facility, and the patriarch of that family passed away. The offspring were in a quandry of what to do. I saw the farm breeding facility just prior to the golf real estate plans being implimented. It had a series of breeding barns as nice as most large mansion tudor style homes. There were many on site assets to capitalize on, including the barns and the same river that snakes through BWR. In fact, part of the new course is only a long driver distance away from the 2-3-4 hole corridor of the Meadows course at BWR, across HWY 28.
Darned if I know whether this is an overbuilt situation. It is only 45 minutes north of Milwaukee, and so residents could commute and golfers can easily drive there from the city and suburbs. But, it isn't the only new course in that area. I imagine they'll be getting the big-bucks to play there, and that will eliminate most of the normal golfing public from that region, since there are plenty of $25-50 courses available of some design interest and playing challenge nearby.
