Destination Kohler, located in the quiet village of Kohler, Wisconsin, is best known for its world-class golf. But during winter, the resort offers just as much fun after the golf courses are covered in snow.
From December 4 to March 1, one of its famous courses, Blackwolf Run, transforms into Frozen Fairways, a large winter activity area. The snowy landscape turns into a place full of outdoor fun for all ages.
Visitors can enjoy ice skating, sledding, curling, and fat-tire biking. There are also nearby trails for snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, and peaceful winter walks. Kids love the sledding hills, while adults relax by outdoor firepits with hot cocoa or s’mores.
At night, beautiful holiday lights light up the area, making the resort look magical—especially after fresh snowfall.
Frozen Fairways feels like a full winter season, not just a one-day event. Every weekend offers something special. Live music plays on Friday and Saturday nights. Saturdays include guided winter hikes, and Sundays feature cookie decorating and drink tastings.
December brings extra holiday cheer. Events include a Frozen Feet 5K and 10K run, Photos with Santa, and a special Holiday Week from December 22 to 30. During this time, guests can enjoy ice carving shows, magic acts, balloon artists, glitter henna, and longer visiting hours. Christmas Eve and Christmas Day follow a special schedule.
Frozen Fairways is open Thursday to Sunday, with extended hours on weekends. Resort guests get free entry, while day visitors can buy daily or seasonal passes.
All year round, Destination Kohler offers relaxing spa experiences, great food, scenic nature trails, and championship golf at courses like Whistling Straits and Blackwolf Run. Whether you want adventure, relaxation, or a cozy winter getaway, this Midwest resort offers a peaceful and memorable escape.
