MAMMOTH DUNES

David McLay Kidd (2018)

David McLay Kidd began building a second 18 at the resort just before Coore and Crenshaw had completed their 18, Sand Valley. He gave his meandering layout enormous fairways, big accessible greens, and visually-unique hillsides of exposed sand, “mammoth dunes” that became the course moniker. At Mammoth Dunes, Kidd will take you on a journey around a majestic landscape, and along the way, his design skews toward helping, which increases thrill and enjoyment.

“Best New Course”
— Golf Magazine
“No. 17 Best Courses you can play in the u.s.”
— Golfweek
“I was blown away by Mammoth Dunes. There were several well-traveled golfers in our sizeable contingent who in the immediate afterglow said it’s the best course they’ve ever played.”
— Erik Matuszewski - Forbes Magazine

Mammoth Dunes, the 3rd golf course at Sand Valley Golf Resort, features a dramatic island green on the par-3 8th hole. Shown here is the tee shot from the "tips" while the approach from more forward tees becomes less and less intimidating, taking on less of a carry over the sand.

Caddie Services

At Sand Valley we believe that the game of golf is best experienced by walking the course with a caddie. Caddies know the course intimately and can offer invaluable insight about pin placements, yardage, playing conditions, club selection and are always there for the moral support you need.
