Sand Valley Golf Resort
Welcome to the Vast Wisconsin Wilderness
Settled on 12,000 acres of rugged dunes in the prehistoric Central Sands of Wisconsin, Sand Valley is home to five world-class golf courses featuring firm, links-style conditions, along with tennis, water activities, and farm-to-table dining. Here, welcoming hospitality and family-oriented community connects with golf, summer and winter recreation and the raw beauty and serenity of the vast Wisconsin wilderness.
Sand Valley Golf Course
The original course at Sand Valley captivates discerning golfers with its strategic options, and beguiling minimalist approach.
Mammoth Dunes
Mammoth Dunes at Sand Valley is celebrated for its dramatic and unique design. Architect David McLay Kidd masterfully sculpted the course around a massive V-shaped ridge native to the property, creating wide fairways and accompanying them with gargantuan greens, hence the "mammoth" moniker. This blend of scale and strategic design encourages bold play while rewarding creativity, ultimately enhancing the thrill and enjoyment for golfers of all levels.
The Lido
The Lido Golf Club, designed by C.B. Macdonald, opened on Long Island in 1914 and featured many classic templates, including the Alps, Redan, and Eden. At the time, it was considered a masterpiece, rivaling Pine Valley and National Golf Links. Unfortunately, the course was demolished during World War II when the U.S. Navy acquired the property in 1942. Since its disappearance, the original Lido has remained a legendary lost course, captivating golf enthusiasts with its mystique.Eight decades later, Michael and Chris Keiser resurrected the original routing adjacent to Sand Valley. The scale of the course, the depth of its hazards, and the size of the greens, which average over 12,000 square feet, is dazzling. Representing the great template holes once again, from the Alps to the Redan, make this course a strategic marvel.
Sedge Valley
Sedge Valley, designed by Tom Doak, is an intimate and captivating course nestled within Sand Valley's unique landscape. Inspired by classic heathland and links courses of London and the English coast, Sedge Valley features a masterful blend of strategic challenges and natural beauty. Doak's philosophy, centered on creating exceptional golf holes around the finest green sites and natural features, ensures a course that is both timeless and enjoyable for golfers of all levels.
The Commons
A light-filled retreat with views of the wooded property. Smart TV, fireplace, and comfortable seating for a quiet morning or evening wind-down.
Sandbox
The Sandbox, a 17-hole short course, offers an intimate connection to the landscape of central Wisconsin as it winds through a restored sand prairie nestled within the same V-shaped sand ridge that frames Mammoth Dunes. With holes ranging from 40 to 140 yards, the Sandbox features a variety of captivating green complexes, including a Biarritz, Lion's Mouth, and Redan, providing a unique and engaging experience for golfers of all skill levels.
