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. 15 Greatest Public Course”
— 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.

Previous Work With DMK Design

In 1996 David Kidd began designing and building Bandon Dunes, now #7 on Golf Digest’s 2016 Top 100 Public Courses. 20 years later, we were thrilled to have him create Sand Valley’s second 18, Mammoth Dunes.

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.
