Sand Valley Golf Resort is a continuation of founder Mike Keiser’s mission to bring “Golf As It Was Meant To Be” to the United States. Situated on over 1,700 acres of tumbling sand dunes, Sand Valley brings the drama and playing style of a seaside links to the heartland of America. True to its name, Sand Valley is a place where massive, exposed sand dunes tower above you and where players walk on firm fescue fairways. With its first course by Coore & Crenshaw opening May, 2017 and the second course by David McLay Kidd already under construction, Sand Valley is a golf destination worth visiting.
