By Len Ziehm Sand Valley’s two 18-hole championship courses, Sand Valley and Mammoth Dunes, are lauded by every golfer making the trek to the middle of Wisconsin. However, when we asked some of the locals to pick their favorite course they didn’t hesitate to go in another direction. The Sandbox was the overwhelming favorite. The par-3 short course forces a player to both think his way around and have fun at the same time. The Sandbox The 17 holes on the Sandbox measure between 50 and 150 yards. There is even an extra shoveldesigned tee marker on each hole for those wishing to have the extra challenge of playing the course as putting only. Wisconsin’s Sand Valley Continues to Grow & Impress 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. Back 9 Report talked with Chris and Mike Keiser on opening day of the Sandbox.
