Course of the Week: TPC Wisconsin debuts after Steve Stricker redesign
The TPC Network’s newest addition, TPC Wisconsin, is the network’s 30th property in its portfolio of championship golf facilities and is now open to members.
Prior to opening, the property received a complete overhaul to meet TPC Network standards, including a redesign of the course, improvements to the interior and exterior of the clubhouse and an enhanced golf learning center that will be completed in 2024.

Stricker’s plans included regrading the course to accent advancements to the game of golf by repositioning features and rebuilding all the infrastructure including greens, tees and bunkers while implementing an all-new cart path system.
“I’ve lived on this course for many years – since it was Cherokee Country Club,” said Stricker. “This is my home. I consider it a privilege to bring my PGA Tour career experience to bear on its re-envisioning and I have totally enjoyed working on the project with PGA Tour Design Services. TPC Wisconsin will play to exact PGA TOUR standards. It’ll be a fair test for players of all levels, and yes – it’s going to be exceptional.”

The redesign included:
- The installation of a new and improved species of turfgrass.
- A new irrigation system.
- The re-routing of some holes to improve green-to-tee walks.
- The integration of spectator mounding.
In addition to the course redesign, enhancements to the Steve & Nicki Stricker American Family Insurance Learning Center include a new indoor hitting structure that features club and putter fitting, an indoor putting green, Trackman technology and an outdoor short game practice area.

TPC Wisconsin restored more than 35 acres of degraded on-site wetlands to improve water flow, floral diversity, pollinator habitat and grassland bird nesting areas. Various boardwalk structures and clear span bridges serving as golf car and walking paths have been incorporated for crossing over wetland and waterway resources. The course also features extensive waterways and water features that have undergone rehabilitation to improve water quality, fisheries and amphibian habitat and other aquatic species diversity. Heartland Ecological Group, a local women-owned firm, completed a comprehensive ecological restoration plan and led the club’s restoration efforts.
