Sand Valley is a golf resort and community settled gently upon 12,000 acres of rugged, pre-historic sand dunes in central Wisconsin. As Sand Valley, residents and guests alike will find five world-class golf courses built in harmony with the land, friendly and welcoming hospitality, and a community of golf and outdoor enthusiasts who have been drawn to the raw beauty and serenity of the vast Wisconsin Wilderness. Sand Valley is growing and has four dining outlets, several on course grab ‘n go locations along with a growing cottage dining program. Currently, four additional outlets are in the various stages of planning. Much like other Dream Golf properties, such as Bandon Dunes Golf Resort and Cabot Cape Breton, Sand Valley showcases golf as it was meant to be.
