    We were staying with friends at a nearby VRBO, and added a day to our trip so we could golf Sand…read moreValley. 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.

    Finally got around to hitting this hidden gem. I've golfed just about every other course in the…read morearea - and it was time we checked out Fairfield Hills. 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.

Takes the time to check in and make sure things run smooth. VERY HANDS ON and personable. Take a moment and check them out for your next event.
