About the Author

kyle golfing

My name is Kyle, and I’m the creator of Club Up Golf. I’ve been golfing since I was young, but I never really took improving my game too seriously until after college. Since then, I’ve worked hard to drop my handicap from around 25 down to a 5. Outside of golf, I’m a UX designer and front-end developer, so it just made sense to start blogging about my love of golf. Hopefully, this site can be a valuable resource for you!

My Simulator Setup

I live in a state where golf stops when the snow flies, but I figured out that I could keep playing and practicing by setting up a golf simulator in my garage. I’ll be doing some simulator reviews on the blog, but here’s what I’m currently using for my setup:

My Favorite Golf Courses

Whistling Straits – hole #17

I’ve had many opportunities to travel with friends and play some great golf courses. Here are some of the favorites that I recommend you check out if you have the opportunity:

  • Whistling Straits – Wisconsin: It’s expensive but an amazing course with breathtaking lakeside views worth putting on the bucket list. The Irish is also a great course (just lacking the views), and Blackwolf Run nearby has a fun chipping & putting course.
  • The Prairie Club – Nebraska: Two wonderful courses that alternate between public and private each day. Cabin lodging lets you walk right to the course.
  • Erin Hills – Wisconsin: A fantastic course in the middle of nowhere with a fun clubhouse and pub environment to be enjoyed.
  • Arcadia Bluffs – Michigan: A great course with rolling hills along Lake Michigan, opposite Whistling Straits.
  • Sand Hollow – Utah: This course is carved into the canyons with some really spectacular views. There’s a lot to do in the area if you’re staying.
  • Sand Valley – Wisconsin: A golf destination still growing, with multiple courses, including Sand Valley and Mammoth Dunes. It’s a fun layout where the sand naturally tapers into the grass.

  • Wolf Creek – Nevada: When I think of a fantasy golf course, this is what comes to mind. The elevation changes here are dramatic. I wouldn’t want this to be my daily course, but it’s a sight to be seen.
  • The Quarry at Giants Ridge – Minnesota: This is a great up north, carved into the woods course.
