Sand Valley?

[TBone0576]

Got a Wisconsin Golf magazine last week that comes with my WSGA membership.   Anyway it sounds like they want to build the largest putting course in the world out there, just a mere 8 acres 🙃

Obviously the weather is a crapshoot, but how do we feel about Sand Valley early early May. Is the course in decent condition that early in the season?

Ive been lucky to go to Sand Valley a few times in early May and have never had an issue with weather.  Will the weather be perfect?  Probably not but it will be just fine and the courses always play firm and fast.  I would not hesitate to book a trip in May.....worst case is you cancel and they will give you resort credit even if its at the last minute....they know how to treat customers at SV

I played in early May two seasons ago and it was actually in really good shape.  The place drains as well as anywhere I've ever played before.   It's nice getting a break on the rates as well.

I went in May for my only trip there, and it was fine. It was pretty chilly in the 40s or 50s but otherwise fine weather for walking and carrying. The only hesitation I have with spring Midwest trips is that dependent upon winter and spring weather, greens can be slow to come in and might be a bit rough. But I think it's a destination worth overlooking that for.

One of the best golf trips I have ever had was a May trip to Sand Valley. I'd say I lucked out, 70 degrees, sunny no wind. Not the norm, but good days do happen.

Booked for early May of ‘24. Looking forward to the tacos, cheese curds, Spotted Cows, and golf.

My wife and I are booked for SV/MD, Erin Hills, and Whistling Straits later this summer for my 50th birthday. 6 rounds, a lot of driving, it's going to be a marathon. But absolutely cannot wait.

Late September can be a gamble. Could be 70-80 or it could be in the 50s. But since you're walking you should be pretty good regardless.

Late September should be fine, possibly chillier in the morning but perfect as it warms up throughout the day.

Thanks I’m excited to get out there
