Best course I have ever played even if it has been 2 years. It is a roller coaster ride like they say. Shot an 82 last time and it felt like 73. Greens could be nicer but you won't mind. Every hole was unique in it's challenge especially 17. Played in 40 mph winds one day. Last 5 holes straight into the wind. Liked the pro shop and merchandise but staff was way to eager for tips at the end of the round. Live in Wisconsin and believe the tips have a higher slope than Whistling Straits. No place to hit a bad shot. Also they really try to match your ability to the right tees.
Would travel: 60-120 Miles, Vacation Worthy
Bottom line: I would play again, I wouldn't recommend this course, Expensive and worth it
