How this vast golf resort in Wisconsin ACES is more than one

Each of the five golf courses in Sand Valley is an outright winner, but the joys of the place are not limited to one sport. For tennis’ sessives, the vast resort is also in Wisconsin.

The Keizers are perhaps closest to American Golf Royalty, but their sporty carrots are just as deep in tennis. Chris en Michael Keizer, oprichter van Bandon Dunes en 2025 USGA Bob Jones Award -winnaar Mike Keizer, groeide op om hun grootouders van vaderszijde te bezoeken in East Aurora, NY, in de buurt van Buffalo, waar er altijd familie tenniswedstrijden waren, evenals golfuitjes en wandelingen – alles om te genieten van de grote buitenshuis terwijl het weer was, goed, goed.

In 2017, just after the first first course in Chris and Michael’s Sand Valley Resort in Wisconsin, Mike Keizer and his boys from the 9th green looked at the adjacent practice range. “Dad says,” Boys, who looks like a perfect lawn tennis court, “recalls Chris, a former double specialist in his high school team.” “Put a net, leave some rackets and balls behind and see what happens.” “

An emperor business principle is to test things before they commit themselves, so they have merged a court. It was a smash: many golfers pick up the rackets, came in and are too late to the 10th tee.

Just like Bandon Dunes Pacific Dunes, Bandon Trails and the rest conceived, Sand Valley’s only court changed to a complex of 15 Court. (It is worth noting that grass benches in the US, let alone public accessible, just as rare as the teeth of chickens.) Yet Golf remains the most important draw here, and the sixth and newest layout from Sand Valley, the Commons, the real estate needed. This meant the movement of the courts near the SEDGE Valley course and outside the recently unveiled tennis building – where the only public facility of America is located for indoor racket sport called Court Tennis. (Locations before Tennis Court – there are only 12 such courts in the country – make the teeth look like chicken eggs.)

Maintained through the site of the Sand Valley Course Course, are the grass judge with a little ryegrass to help with recovery. They play firmly and fast, just like the surrounding fairways and greens. In the summer, players can hire the Junior Caddies to change and serve as Baljongens and Balmeisjes.

So, next: Pickleball? Heck no.

“Strategically we want to do things that others cannot or cannot do,” says Chris Keizer. “We might think Platform Tennis.”
