The shaggy, laid-back, cool younger brother

So you have a famous older sibling. What are you to do? Be a carbon copy, just…less? Intentionally be radically different, the opposite in every way? Or just maybe not care either way? The Irish course at Whistling Straits just does its own thing. It’s a shaggy, fun loving gem of a course that just happens to bear a little more than a passing resemblance to its acclaimed sibling, Whistling Straits. But it’s also just its own thing. For a Pete Dye course, it’s almost its almost easy going (but if you underestimate it, you’ll learn a painful lesson…). When all is said and done, you respect the famous older sibling. But you’ll want to hang out with the lesser known younger offspring.
