Sand Valley Resort is nestled on 12,000 acres of ancient sand dunes in central Wisconsin, offering an unparalleled golf and outdoor experience. Established in 2016 by brothers Michael and Chris Keiser, Sand Valley features five world-class golf courses—Sand Valley, Mammoth Dunes, The Sandbox, The Lido, and Sedge Valley—all harmoniously integrated into the raw beauty of the Wisconsin wilderness. The resort, inspired by the iconic heathland courses of London, provides a pure golfing experience akin to its sister properties, Bandon Dunes and Rodeo Dunes.

In addition to exceptional golf, Sand Valley offers a wide range of year-round outdoor activities, including fat-tire biking, hiking, kayaking, ice hockey, and more. The resort also features a state-of-the-art Tennis Center with 16 grass courts and the eleventh Court Tennis facility in the U.S. Dining at Sand Valley reflects the region's rustic charm with a blend of global inspiration and Wisconsin flavors.
