The Lido Golf Club (Sand Valley)

Wisconsin, USA

C.B. Macdonald’s legendary Lido golf course on Long Island opened in 1917, featuring just about all the template holes he had previously discovered on the classic links in Great Britain. Unfortunately, the property was used as a military base by the U.S. Navy during World War II and the course never reopened after hostilities ceased in 1945.

White Bear Yacht Club

Minnesota, United States

With modest length, White Bear Yacht Club requires accuracy rather than length from the tee. If you suffer from a lack of balance, it might not be the golf course for you as you will seldom get a flat stance.

Sand Valley (Sedge Valley)

Wisconsin, United States

Tom Doak's Sedge Valley at Sand Valley contrasts with both Mammoth Dunes and Sand Valley. With the legendary London heathland golf courses and Rye being used as inspiration, Doak's second course (alongside The Lido) fills a niche - not only at the resort but also in America, of golf that is interesting rather than simply long.
