Highly ranked Wisconsin resort announces opening plans for newest golf course
The Commons, a new 12-hole golf course designed by Jim Craig, is scheduled to open in 2026 at Sand Valley in Nekoosa, Wisconsin. The new course, set on the northwestern side of the main resort area near the new Sedge Valley neighborhood, should play somewhere near 4,000 yards long and offer dramatic fairway contouring and bold greens.
The Commons will be the sixth course at the popular resort, joining the eponymous Sand Valley, Mammoth Dunes, the Lido, Sedge Valley and the par-3 course Sandbox. Each of the four 18-hole courses at Sand Valley is ranked by Golfweek’s Best among the top 25 resort courses in the U.S.
Craig has long been a boots-on-the-ground associate for architects Bill Coore and Ben Crenshaw, and the Commons will be his first solo design to open. In addition to The Commons, he is building a course at Rodeo Dunes near Denver, the new resort being built by Sand Valley founders Michael and Chris Keiser. The Keiser brothers also have announced new projects underway in Texas and Florida.
