I've been to Sand Valley twice before - just made my 3rd trip. Also been to Bandon Dunes once. All…read moretold, I've now played 5 different courses. The Sedge (46 days old when I played it) was quite nice but the least impressive of the 5 I've played. If I were a relative beginner, or elderly, it would be the easiest of all the courses to play. (par 68,... but A LOT of up-and-down). There was nothing about this course that was more impressive than the other 4 I've played. I had a good caddy but the 3 guys I played with didn't take caddies and sprayed the ball all over the place so my caddy ended up spending time helping them too. I hope they tipped him. And while most of the facilities and services were top notch, i did get a little attitude from employees a couple of times. I was disappointed that in the Main pro shop, they did not have a scorecard for the Sedge. Nobody told me there was no practice putting green at The Sedge. I guess I should have asked. I knew to hit balls before going to the course, but didn't putt. Fairways weren't as lush as I expected for a 46-day old course. It's rustic. Greens weren't cut very short so they played very slowly and it was difficult for me to adjust (I take responsibility for that). The three tees are nice - one of them is up in the beginning of the fairway, so (again) if I were a beginner or elderly, I'd like that option. I'll go back to the resort, but I probably won't play The Sedge again.

Sand Valley..... There have been many reviews praising the amazing golf available on your courses…read morethe food too has been praised, and deservedly so.

Stayed a couple nights here over the summer in a condo for a little weekend golf…read more The good: Nice clubhouse bar, decent beer selection, folks working the clubouse were helpful and polite. Was able to get drinks and refills with not too much of a wait. Buffalo Wings were solid. The clubouse had a very good patio, was cool to relax out there after our round with a bourbon. Condo was nice and clean, few amenities, balconies that back up to the fairways. The replica holes were a fun challenge. There was a very nice lady who cleaned our clubs while my group finished the 18th hole. The not so good: For what you're paying for on this course, I expect a little more. Half of the ball washers were empty, none at all had towels. Water coolers on the course were entirely empty on a hot day. Greens were not very well kept, all kinds of chunks taken out of them. Beverage cart was few and far between. One of the guys who worked there had some pace-of-play comments to make to us, even though we were keeping up with and pushing the group in front of us. Overall, had a good time but at those rates, hope you make it a little more worth our while.

This course (and greenskeeper) needs a wake-up call (as well as recent reviews). Fairways were as…read morehard as the parking lot and have been the past 3 years now. Was thinking they can't stay this bad. Never again. The green fee is quite high compared to other local, much, much better conditioned courses.

Dealing with the staff was easy (via phone or in person) - super friendly folks with all the answers to our questions. They have a nice little practice green, and a great driving range. The whole facility is well kept. The course is in really good shape. Probably the fastest greens I've played all season. We didn't notice many (any?) weeds. The greens were clean, and the immediate rough around greens and fairway were pretty decent. The layout is fairly basic - just par 3s and 4s (for the primary 9 at least - we didn't hit holes 10, 11 or 12). The most "character" you'll find is a picturesque tee shot over a mid-fairway fountain. No dog-legs are bends on this course - all straight shots. Along with straight shots - accuracy is required as most holes are pretty tight. There's not a lot of forgiveness if you're not in the fairway. You'll be in the woods, prairie grass or, on the more "open" holes, punching out from under a tree. I'd consider playing here again. Would I pay rack rate? Probably not when I could find a round at a full par-72 course for a couple more bucks. But getting a deal helps (see various golf deal websites) If I lived close, I'd consider a membership as it's fairly affordable for what you get.

The Rome/Nekoosa area just 40 miles North of the Dells is getting worldwide acclaim as a golf destination. Even the local airport has had to lengthen runways and increase fuel storage to accommodate the increasing number of private jets flying in. Sand Valley is the biggest draw with currently 5 courses on site and ever expanding. If you have a few million dollars casually lying around there are homesites available at Sand Valley. There is also Northern Bay, The Ridges, Bullseye and more within a short ride. When visiting and playing the courses be kind to your fellow golfers and follow the rules of the course you're playing on. Some may require replacing the divot you hit out that may have traveled further than your golf ball, others require not replacing the divot but sprinkling the provided grass seed into the newly minted divot. One final tip, please use the provided restrooms located on the courses. Some of us live on the courses and don't enjoy the view of golfers walking into the woods, relieving themselves and ultimately showing off their shortcomings.

Therefore, we had to golf twilight because there were no earlier openings. We played the Pines starting at 4:45 pm and we were able to get 15 holes in before it got dark. It was just me and my husband, so we were able to play fast. I must say that this one stands out as the best I've played at so far - so pretty. What truly impressed me was the impeccable maintenance of the greens. They were like putting on velvet - smooth, consistent, and a true test of my putting skills. The fairways were impressive. They provided a perfect surface for my shots, and the layout of the course was challenging yet fun. I found myself thoroughly enjoying the variety of holes. There was cart service available and ball marker collectible - bonus! With its well-maintained greens, lovely fairways, appealing layout, and friendly staff, it's certainly worth a visit.

Other courses typically make you split up but we had the luxury of booking two tee times and not having issues going as a large group. Very open course so it is forgiving but still has some difficult holes. Course does move quickly because it is a more dry terrain in general. Some really cool uphill and downhill holes with beautiful landscape. We didn't stay for food or drinks afterwards but it was a nice club house and nothing seemed to be overpriced. All drinks from what I saw on the bev cart were $5 which I think is a steal compared to other courses. No complaints there and they didn't skimp on mixed drinks. As a group of 5 Chicago guys, we had no issues getting along with everyone on the course and employees, which isn't always the case going to various out of state locations.
