Where you'll play
Sand Valley Course
Ben Crenshaw & Bill Coore design through ancient sand dunes. Walking only. Feels like Scottish links dropped into the Midwest.
Mammoth Dunes
David McLay Kidd design with the widest fairways you've ever seen. More fun and forgiving than Sand Valley. Everyone's favorite.
The Lido
Faithful recreation of the legendary lost Lido Golf Club. Tom Doak design. Newest course, already ranked top 10 in the US.
Sedge Valley (par-3 course)
17-hole par-3 course perfect for arrival day. Walk-up play, no tee times. Views rival the big courses.

The itinerary
What you'll play and when
A captain wrote this. Every tee time has a reason. Here's the first part.
Day 1
Sedge Valley (par-3 course)
Tee time: 3:30 PM
Walk-up par-3 after midday arrival gets everyone loose without the pressure of a championship track.
Day 2
Mammoth Dunes
Tee time: 7:45 AM
Start with the crowd favorite while legs are fresh—wide fairways mean the whole group plays fast and stays together.
What's inside the kit
The rest of the trip
Five sections. Everything a captain needs to run this trip — not just dream about it.
Where you'll stay and why
The lodging pick, the rate, the reason it beats the alternatives.
What it really costs (line by line)
The actual number per person. Not a vague range.
Who to call and what to ask
Phone numbers, emails, the exact booking script.
What to do when you're not on the course
The best meal of the trip. The post-round bar. The sneaky par-3.
From the captain
Why this trip, what to expect, the things that make the difference.
