LochenHeath Golf Club Breaks Ground on the Cottages

By Brian Weis

LochenHeath Golf Club has broken ground on developing new high-end, on-site cottages.

The first phase will include two cottages of a six-cottage enclave located just a short stroll from the clubhouse and practice facility. This will allow golfers to play and stay at LochenHeath.

The spacious layout of the 2,400 square foot cottages includes four en-suites, an expansive common living area, gas fireplace, and a screened-in deck. The designer kitchen features all top end appointments. Mapleridge Construction is the general contractor, paired with Shane Inman from the Inman Company as the lead designer.

" The goal of the Cottages is to attract more National Members to enjoy the on-site lodging and the natural beauty of LochenHeath. Players want to stay for a weekend for a full golfing, lodging and dining experience," states Kevin O'Brien, General Manager. "We have worked hard to build our brand, and Golf Digest has now labeled us as a ' Best in State' course. As we move toward becoming a completely private course, having on-site lodging is instrumental in moving toward this goal." The Cottages will be available for rental by summer 2019.

Currently, LochenHeath is a private club allowing limited outside play. For more information, please contact LochenHeath Golf Club at 231-938-9800 or visit www.lochenheath.com.

About: Brian Weis

Brian Weis is the mastermind behind GolfTrips.com, a vast network of golf travel and directory sites covering everything from the rolling fairways of Wisconsin to the sunbaked desert layouts of Arizona. If there’s a golf destination worth visiting, chances are, Brian has written about it, played it, or at the very least, found a way to justify a "business trip" there.

As a card-carrying member of the Golf Writers Association of America (GWAA), International Network of Golf (ING), Golf Travel Writers of America (GTWA), International Golf Travel Writers Association (IGTWA), and The Society of Hickory Golfers (SoHG), Brian has the credentials to prove that talking about golf is his full-time job. In 2016, his peers even handed him The Shaheen Cup, a prestigious award in golf travel writing—essentially the Masters green jacket for guys who don’t hit the range but still know where the best 19th holes are.

Brian’s love for golf goes way back. As a kid, he competed in junior and high school golf, only to realize that his dreams of a college golf scholarship had about the same odds as a 30-handicap making a hole-in-one. Instead, he took the more practical route—working on the West Bend Country Club grounds crew to fund his University of Wisconsin education. Little did he know that mowing greens and fixing divots would one day lead to a career writing about the best courses on the planet.

In 2004, Brian turned his golf passion into a business, launching GolfWisconsin.com. Three years later, he expanded his vision, and GolfTrips.com was born—a one-stop shop for golf travel junkies looking for their next tee time. Today, his empire spans all 50 states, and 20+ international destinations.

On the course, Brian is a weekend warrior who oscillates between a 5 and 9 handicap, depending on how much he's been traveling (or how generous he’s feeling with his scorecard). His signature move" A high, soft fade that his playing partners affectionately (or not-so-affectionately) call "The Weis Slice." But when he catches one clean, his 300+ yard drives remind everyone that while he may write about golf for a living, he can still send a ball into the next zip code with the best of them.

Whether he’s hunting down the best public courses, digging up hidden gems, or simply outdriving his buddies, Brian Weis is living proof that golf is more than a game—it’s a way of life.
