We drove down 7th as far as we could and then hiked our way back in. We found the "cleared" area slightly south and walked over. The cleared area was hard to walk in and there are holes everywhere- unfortunately many in the mounds too , probably some from looting. We didn't stay very long because we soon noticed ticks ALL over our pants. It was the worst experience I've ever had with ticks and I work outside for a living. Therefore, I highly recommend if you visit do it in the winter or fall as this would be better for less foliage anyways. I really hope this becomes a state park one day where it could be cleared and interpretation provided because right now its not clear what you're looking at at all and I'm an archaeologists and it was still hard to tell their shapes. We only saw conical mounds but there are supposed to be effigies of animals somewhere in that area- probably in the dense forested area farther south near 8th street. Final takes- only visit in the fall/ winter and be prepared for uneven ground with thorns etc.

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.

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.

It is open to the public Thursday through Sunday and is the home of the Annual Wisconsin State Shoot. To say this complex is massive would be an understatement. The complex also includes an RV campground and an Olympic style trap bunker. The range actually is in Rome Wisconsin and the community has numerous outdoor activities. These include golf (two courses at Arrowhead and the New Sand Valley), boating, fishing and water sports on Lake Arrowhead, Sherwood, Camelot, and Petenwell. Hunting, camping, ATV trails, hiking trails, snowmobiling, and more. Rome Wisconsin is just 40 miles north of the Wisconsin Dells.

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.

Legendary developer develops legendary golf complex in...Wisconsin? Yep. 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 had a wonderful dinner there on a Friday night. It was super busy, so we sat at the bar to wait for a table and ended up eating right there. Because it is Wisconsin, I started out with a brandy old-fashioned. I forgot how genuinely delightful it is to be offered a mushroom as a choice of the garnish. It was an excellent drink. They don't have Biron tap, but they do have a decent selection of beer in the bottle, which is what my companion ordered. Fridays are fish night and there was a wide selection of different fish that you could order, prepared in a variety of manner. I was super excited that they had a lake perch on the menu, because I so rarely see that. I probably didn't need an entire half pound, but it was really delicious. My companion ordered fish fryand enjoyed that as well. We didn't sample the rest of the menu, but they were plenty of good options. The number of people dining there tells me that the food must be good. So glad we went. Hope to go again when I am in Rapids.
