Here, residents and guests will find six world‑class golf courses built in harmony with the land: Sand Valley, Mammoth Dunes, Sandbox, The Lido, Sedge Valley, and Commons. Founded in 2016 by brothers Michael and Chris Keiser, the resort is known for its friendly hospitality and a community of golf and outdoor enthusiasts who have been drawn to the raw beauty and serenity of the vast Wisconsin Wilderness.

Beyond premier golf, Sand Valley is a year‑round celebration of all the outdoors from fat‑tire biking, hiking, and kayaking to ice hockey, skating, or a guided cold plunge. The resort now features a 13,000‑square‑foot Tennis Center with 16 grass tennis courts and the eleventh Court Tennis facility in the United States. Alongside soul‑stirring golf and outdoor exploration, Sand Valley offers a variety of savory dining venues showcasing globally inspired and rustic Wisconsin cuisine.
