The Jigger Inn became part of the Old Course Hotel complex in 1974 when it was converted into a pub, although it has not changed much since it was originally constructed.^[3] In 2004 Herb Kohler bought the pub as part of the Old Course Hotel, Golf Resort & Spa.^[3] It is now operated by Destination Kohler, a subsidiary of the American Kohler Company.^[4]

A jigger golf club is an obsolete golf club that was a very low lofted iron club with a shortened shaft.^[5] A "jigger" is also a tool used for measuring out a jigger (1+1⁄2 US fluid ounces (44 mL)) of alcohol.^[5]

Jigger Ale

The Jigger Inn has its own beer, called Jigger Ale.^[3] It was first produced by the Belhaven Brewery in 2010 exclusively for the pub.^[3] It is now available in the pub and also at the Horse & Plow at the American Club in Kohler, Wisconsin, USA.^[6]
