Minnesota Golfer - Fall 2018 - 22
TRA VEL
covered the serendipitous connection
while all four were playing Sand Valley.
At the 14th tee, we caught up with
Eddie and Eli Martin, two Wisconsin
State Golf Association members from
Elm Grove who had earlier that day
competed in the WSGA's inaugural State
Par-3 Championship on Sand Valley's
newest golf course, The Sandbox. The
17-hole short course, another Coore &
Crenshaw design, plays to 1,668 yards
and can be traversed with just a few
clubs, or even only a putter. Bill Feehan
Jr. of La Crosse won the championship-
thanks to six birdies and three bogies
for a 3-under 48. Eddie and Eli fi nished
3-over 54 and T14. Eddie, who attacks
the course with a cross-handed grip,
drove his tee shot beyond the 14th green
but managed to make a birdie, while Eli
drove the green and made eagle.
The two allowed us to join them for
the homeward fi ve holes. The sky was
streaked with pink and gold fi re as the
sun set and the shadows hid the 18th
green, a 553-yard par-5 closing hole
that fi nishes with an elevated green situated
below the clubhouse. The Chord
Trackers, a husband and wife duo of
Jeff Sachs and Maria Rose, were play$450-$900
for the Crenshaw's Cabin
suite. Golf rates for Sand Valley and
Mammoth Dunes are $205-$225 ($105$205
for resort guests) and $65-$75 for
The Sandbox course. Caddie fees are
$50-90. For more information, visit
sandvalleygolfresort.com.
Sand Valley confi rmed rumors of a
ing a mix of folk, blues and bluegrass on
the clubhouse terrace. Strands of music
drifted down as we holed out. Like
Craig's Porch, the live entertainment was
free and open to the locals.
After a partial round on The Sandbox,
I found a spot at the Mammoth Bar and
ordered the meatloaf sandwich ($16)-
fl avored with a sweet and savory rhubarb
chutney sauce-and a pint of a local
farmhouse ale, Spotted Cow. Brewed
in New Glarus and only available in
Wisconsin, Spotted Cow is a popular
choice for resort guests (they tap three
kegs a day, says the bartender). Along
with offering a variety of local craft
beers, all of the resort's food is sourced
locally and made fresh.
Lodging starts at $155-$400 for a
room, $900-$1800 for a cottage and
fourth course on Sept. 6, when a Tom
Doak routing within a restored sedge
savanna on the property was announced
via social media. The 6,100-yard par 68
is a concept that Doak has longed to
introduce to American golfers, citing
U.K. gems such as Swinley Forest, Rye,
and St. Enodoc among his favorites.
" It's a shame there is nothing like
them over here, " Doak was quoted.
Sand Valley will soon fi x that. MG
