This Kohler generator
accompanied Admiral Richard
E. Byrd on his Antarctic
expeditions.
while enjoying the natural beauty that made
the Village of Kohler the first fully
developed garden community in the
country. At the heart of the community is
the historic village inn – The American
Club.
Originally built in 1918 as a temporary
home for immigrants who worked in the
Kohler factory, The American Club was
redesigned in 1981 as an elegant resort
hotel and is now considered one of the
finest in the country. Named the Midwest’s
only AAA Five Diamond resort hotel for
25
years running, this grand Tudor-style
building offers the finest modern amenities
in a luxurious Old World atmosphere and is
renowned both as a romantic getaway and
an upscale meeting destination.
Beyond The American Club,
Destination Kohler is home to the award-
winning Kohler Waters Spa, The Shops at
Woodlake, the Kohler Stables, an 800-acre
wildlife preserve, River Wildlife, the
Kohler Design Center, the Sports Core
fitness complex, Kohler Original Recipe
Chocolates, The Kitchens of Kohler
restaurants including the signature
Immigrant Restaurant, and Riverbend, a
luxurious private membership club.
Kohler has grown over the years to become a renowned tourist destination, combining all the charm
of a Midwestern small town with amenities
that rival those found in the world’s most
sophisticated locales. Ever-changing and
always inviting, Destination Kohler offers
something new to experience with each
visit.
Ten Years of Healthful Living
Through Water
Currently celebrating its 10-year
anniversary, the Kohler Waters Spa
continues to offer an unparalleled
experience in relaxation and pampering.
New this year are exclusive wet therapy
rooms that combine the age-old
rejuvenating properties of water with
soothing music, tranquil color and light
therapies, and the healing powers of
natural plants and organic elements. Five
years ago, Kohler Waters Spa added an
intimate rooftop deck with a waterfall,
whirlpool, a 12-foot-long fireplace and
lounge area to enhance the guest
experience before, in between, and
following spa services.
Inn Style, Innovative, Inviting
In 2008, the Inn on Woodlake was
extensively renovated and reintroduced
as a stylish boutique hotel, complete with
modern guest rooms, high-tech meeting
facilities, chic and inviting common areas,
and, of course, experiential bathrooms.
The rooms offer the latest in state-of-the-art amenities, such as iPod docking
stations and 42-inch plasma HDTVs, as
well as the latest cutting-edge Kohler
plumbing products.
Enhancing an Original
While the courses at Blackwolf Run
always garner rave reviews from players,
Kohler is never content to rest on its
laurels. This season and last, the River and
Meadow Valleys courses have been
undergoing sweeping makeovers
designed to enhance and improve the
already outstanding golf experience, as
well as provide a superlative stage for the
2012 U.S. Women’s Open. For the 2010
golf season, guests are able to experience
Innovative evolution of Destination Kohler
The Original Championship Course,
comprised of the original 18 holes at
Blackwolf Run and the same routing of
the 1998 and 2012 U. S. Women’s Open.
Beginning in 2011, both courses will be
back in play in pristine condition.
