The Lido
The Lido Golf Course, located within Sand Valley Resort in Nekoosa, Wisconsin, is a stunning recreation of C.B. Macdonald’s legendary 1914 design, once hailed as one of the greatest courses ever built. Thoughtfully reimagined, The Lido combines the charm of classic links-style golf with the precision of modern construction, offering an experience rooted in history and innovation.
Stretching to approximately 7,200 yards, this par-72 course is defined by its bold template holes, intricate green complexes, and strategic bunkering. Wide fairways bordered by sandy wastelands and tall fescue create a visually striking and challenging layout. Signature holes like the “Channel,” a short par-4 over water, and the “Double Plateau,” with its demanding green, emphasize the course’s focus on risk-reward decisions and strategic play.
The Lido’s fast, undulating greens and deep bunkers test every facet of a golfer’s game, while the ever-changing wind ensures no two rounds are the same. Designed for creativity and precision, it’s a course that rewards thoughtful shot-making over raw power.
Part of the renowned Sand Valley Resort, The Lido offers exceptional amenities, including luxurious accommodations, fine dining, and a world-class practice facility. Playing The Lido is more than a round of golf—it’s a tribute to timeless design and a must-play destination for any golf enthusiast.
