Sand Valley Resort
Unless you have been living under a rock somewhere, you have at least heard about a project called Sand Valley Resort in north central Wisconsin. But until you actually see it with your own two eyes, you don’t really understand what all the fuss is about.
The short version of the Sand Valley history: Sand Valley Resort is owned by Mike Keiser, the same visionary who created Bandon Dunes in Oregon. The design team of Bill Coore and Ben Crenshaw were commissioned to design their first course, Sand Valley, which opened to the public in 2017. The second championship layout, Mammoth Dunes, was designed by David McLay-Kidd and opened in 2018. The Sandbox, also opened in 2018, is a 17-hole short course designed by Coore/Crenshaw. The Lido opened in 2023 and has taken the golf world by storm with its recreation of a C.B. MacDonald design originally built on Long Island. And Sedge Valley, opened in 2024, gives Sand Valley 4 championship layouts moving forward.
What sold Mr. Keiser on building a facility in rural Wisconsin? The way I describe it is: It’s like they took a chunk of South Carolina, complete with sand dunes, cut it out of the Earth, and dumped it in the heartland of the United States. As you near the property, the landscape is relatively flat with tall pine trees everywhere. But when you start to drive onto the Sand Valley Resort, you are transported to something completely unique and undeniably special. To get a serious feel for the land Sand Valley is built on. Check out the blog post I wrote after my first site visit trip by clicking here. Sand Valley now offers a full service clubhouse, multiple dining choices, and various lodging options to accommodate any group. Wisconsin Golf Trips is proud to be working with the Sand Valley Resort team to help groups plan a very special golf experience in Wisconsin.
