Bill Coore and Ben Crenshaw designed the Sandbox with interesting humps, bumps and elevation changes, plus several deep bunkers to keep things interesting. They have done several golf projects at Keiser’s other golf properties. Short courses have become very popular at resorts and choosing a favorite isn’t easy, but for me, it comes down to either the Sandbox, or the Cradle at the Pinehurst. They are both unique, but the Sandbox gets my nod as more fun of the two. Keiser is responsible for Bandon Dunes on the Oregon coastline that set a new trend in mustplay golf resorts in the United States. He became enthralled with links courses in Scotland and Ireland and brought that passion back to the United States. Sand Valley opened in 2017, the courses are now mature and hosted the Wisconsin State Amateur, the most significant event to be held there thus far. Keiser’s Bandon Dunes has contracted to host several USGA Amateur Championships, we expect Sand Valley to join the list of USGA host sites in the future. The Lido The next course to open at SandValley will be the highly anticipated, The Lido, in 2023.
