The much-anticipated Nekoosa, Wis., property has opened its doors, featuring a Coore and Crenshaw-designed golf course, understated lodge with a restaurant and bar, pro shop, and 17 guest rooms. Next year, the property will open the Mammoth Dunes golf course, designed by David McLay Kidd.

One of the most anticipated golf courses of the year, Sand Valley Golf Resort in Nekoosa, Wis., has finally opened for public play, Robb Report reported.

The brainchild of Mike Keiser—who created a new archetype for destination golf resorts with Bandon Dunes—and designed by Bill Coore and Ben Crenshaw, the course is a sprawling, enjoyable romp through big dunes created 18,000 years ago when a natural dam burst and exposed a sandy lakebed, the Report reported.

C&RB has reported on plans for the property since 2014.

Bringing their natural style to the flowing landscape, Coore and Crenshaw sculpted challenging greens and surrounds, wide fairways, and massive waste areas for holes that turn and twist in every direction. There’s a comfortably understated lodge with a restaurant and bar, a pro shop, and 17 guest rooms; 24 more rooms are scattered around the property, with another dozen set to debut this fall, the Report reported.

And next year, a second course opens: The appropriately named Mammoth Dunes, designed by David McLay Kidd, will not only be a delight in its own right, but will make Sand Valley even more of a bucket-list staple, the Report reported.
