With some of the most sensational views of lake Michigan, the abnormality of the terrain, and the irregularity of so many majestic looking bunkers, this course will leave your eyes in complete awe. There are so many reasons why this piece of land is known throughout the golf community. Even the best players in the game of golf approve. Whistling Straits was the site of the 2015 PGA Championship. This tournament is one of the four majors that is played throughout the professional golf season. The majors are the most elite tournaments in professional golf. Other than that, the straits course will also be the host of the 2020 Ryder Cup.

The U.S. and Europe, comprised of 12 players from each team, battle it out in the ultimate team golf event for the most coveted prize in team golf, the Ryder Cup. With such an intriguing golf course, there is no doubt that the 2020 Ryder cup is going to be an absolute treat for the players and golf
