Players will encounter numerous memorable moments, from the sweeping vistas atop the massive dunes to the strategic decisions demanded by the immense, contoured greens. The course encourages creative shot-making and offers a delightful challenge for golfers of all skill levels, rewarding thoughtful play over brute force.

Sand Valley Golf Resort - The Lido
Nekoosa, WI · 0.3 mi away
The Lido at Sand Valley Golf Resort stands as a remarkable testament to golf's Golden Age, meticulously recreated by acclaimed architect Gil Hanse. This ambitious project revives C.B. Macdonald's legendary Lido Club, a lost masterpiece, using cutting-edge technology and historical data to bring its intricate design back to life. Hanse's vision was to honor Macdonald's pioneering work, translating the original's strategic brilliance and bold features into a modern context. The course is an architectural marvel, offering a playing experience that is both challenging and endlessly engaging, with spacious corridors and expansive greens that invite thoughtful shot-making. One of its standout holes is the 17th, aptly nicknamed "Long," which draws inspiration from the iconic 14th hole at St. Andrews, demanding precision and strategic acumen. The Lido has quickly established its championship pedigree, with Sand Valley slated to host multiple USGA national championships in the coming years, including in 2026, 2029, 2030, and 2034, alongside hosting the 124th Wisconsin State Amateur Championship. What makes The Lido truly special is its blend of historical reverence and contemporary playability, offering golfers a unique journey through a resurrected classic that emphasizes fun, accessibility, and strategic depth at every turn.
