Sand Valley new, new course?
« on: June 04, 2024, 04:13:37 PM »
Today, GolfPass hints at another course (besides Lido, Sedge, Sand Valley, Sandbox, and Mammoth) being built at the resort. Does anyone here know anything about it? Will it be a regulation length course or a short course? Anticipated opening date?

It's called the Commons, and it's only going to be about 4000 yards long according to Michael, designed more for family play.  Jim Craig is designing it [and shaping it].  They started last year and they are pretty far along, though none of the holes had been seeded when I was there last month.

What market is this aimed at versus Sedge?  Beginning golfers?  Young kids?

I think the first answer is it is aimed at Michael's family [he has two young children], and others like them.  They are selling real estate up there and hoping to attract more families for the summer months, as a place like Crystal Downs does.


When we first talked about Sedge Valley I think Michael's idea was more along these lines, but I found a Swinley Forest length routing that I liked, and he was all in for that.
