The course that started it all—Coore & Crenshaw spent three years routing Sand Valley through the region's prehistoric dune field before opening it in 2017, and it still plays like discovered ground rather than built ground. Massive, exposed dunes frame every hole; the fairways are firm, fast, and wide enough to offer a real choice on almost every tee shot.
It's built to flex—set the tees up short for a fun, sub-4-hour round with the group, or stretch it to its full 6,938 yards and let the wind and firm turf turn it into a serious test. Either way, play the ground game: low, running shots reward you here more than height ever will.
The bunker fieldCoore & Crenshaw peeled a pine plantation off ancient glacial dunes and let the sand do the talking—bunkers spill into natural blowouts and fairways ride the leftover ridges. At golden hour the whole valley goes copper.
