I have golfed several courses at Brandon Dunes and, minus the ocean, there were a lot of similarities. The complex is beautiful. We walked the public trail that surrounds the course prior to golfing so we could see a few of the holes. We also ate $1 tacos at Craig's Porch for lunch which is open to the public as well. We golfed the Sand Valley course. The course is well maintained as you must walk it (no carts). We used a caddie and David was excellent. Great to chat with and provided sound advice throughout the day. Now if I could only execute consistently on his advice.... They just opened the new practice facility so we hit some balls at the range prior to our round. I have a cart ready golf bag so I had to switch out to one with legs. I golfed green silver which is listed as 5087 yards which is a good distance. There are several combo options so you really can choose a distance that is just right for you. The sand is all waste bunkers so no need to worry about club placement and raking. We played in just over 4 hours with two in our group. We waited on most holes for the group in front of us to clear. Not a lot of women on the course, if that intimidates anyone. I had a few pars so I think I held my own. Really a great experience. I hope to come back to golf the other courses.

The golf was phenomenal;…read moreclient service generally quite good; unimpressed by food/bev, and practice and locker room facilities. Read on. The golf courses are fabulous and, for lack of a better word, big. Sand Valley is the signature and is challenging, Mammoth is a bit more kind to an average golfer. The Commons is a twelve hole course and probably the easiest of the group; Sedge Valley is a par 68, also pretty forgiving. There's also 17 holes of par 3 (mostly chip/putt) that is there for fun; many folks play in bare feet. Lido is the one that most normal people can't get on...rumored to be, like Sand Valley, a real challenge. The golf is terrific. The client service -- everywhere we turned --- was also outstanding, from caddies, to starters, to rangers, to servers...clearly a client service culture. The are on-course food/bev "gimmicks" -- one dollar brats, one dollar Italian beefs, etc. The ice cream sandwich is celebrated (ad made in Iowa!). The drinks are very reasonably priced; water is complimentary. Unimpressed by the food and bev at the restaurants -- pretty predictable fare; I'd have hoped there would be some form of fine or at least finER dining available. Only so many burgers and chicken sandwiches and cheese curds and chicken wings one can have. Also had a DREADFUL service challenge at their pizza place at the Sedge Valley course -- took forever to get our apps and entrees...two of us ended up not even eating ours because we were out of time. Two points of bone disappointment. The first --- temporary -- is that the practice facility is massively too small for this size and quality of resort. I gather that's being addressed and that a new, large facility should open soon. The second came when our group went to shower after 18 holes in sweltering heat. The locker room and showers at the main lodge are embarrassingly small, not well kept up, and otherwise unworthy of a facility of this caliber and price point. Several hundred dollars for a round was ok --- but I'd have hoped for something a lot better than what was basically a YMCA gym for a place to clean up.

We got rained on for two holes then enjoyed a very nice course. We golfed the Lakes course. The forward tees were 5300 yards. That is long! The course was in good shape, despite all the rain. No restrictions on where golf carts could drive. The carts did not have GPS so we were looking for yardage markers most of the round. We played the round right around 4 hours. With many cancellations due to rain, we never saw another group on the course. Staff was friendly. Great experience.

Good courses. A little slow. Beverage carts on the Lakes were great. Terrible service on the Pines.read more

There are some pretty bad patches on the greens they they need to address. It is a challenging course, but not so much that you will loose 10 golf balls on any given day.

I'd highly recommend the cheese curds! If you're coming with younger children, they have a few candy/claw machines that my daughters enjoyed. They also have a bowling ramp that my 3-year-old used, and it made her whole experience easier! There was only one thing that was a little annoying about this last trip. We came in 3 separate groups and communicated that we needed our checks split among the 3 of us. Instead of billing us for what we each ordered, they split the entire amount equally in 3 ways. We reimbursed each other via Venmo, but it was a hassle that could've been prevented. The gentleman who did this left, and then the guy who checked us out had no idea what was going on.

The menu was standard fare for what you'd find in a Wisconsin tavern. The bloody mary's were good, and the cheese curds were excellent. Not surprisingly, there were not really any vegetarian options so I went pescatarian for the day and ate fish tacos, which were decent. Service was friendly, albeit slow. The view from the restaurant, overlooking the Wisconsin River, is breathtaking and worth the visit. So, if you need a lunch place in Wisconsin Rapids that serves alcohol, it's a good option.

The fairways contained grass that stood halfway up my shins.

If you willing to travel to this course to play I would suggest taking your money to Stevens Point, Waupaca, or Wisconsin Rapids to play better courses for about the same price. Won't be returning.
