Seven In Heaven
For the seventh time, the Broken Tee Society is heading back to central Wisconsin for a trip that’s become a beloved tradition. Sand Valley has hosted hundreds of BTS members over the years, and the rhythm is well established: play every hole on property, then keep going after the sun goes down. This year’s return brings the full lineup—Sand Valley, Mammoth Dunes, The Lido, Sedge Valley, The Sandbox, and The Commons—along with premium on-site lodging, glow golf, and on-course food that’s worthy of a Michelin star. Join us for four of our favorite days on the BTS Tour.

Trip Itinerary
Sunday, August 15
Sedge Valley, Putting Contest & Welcome Dinner
Arrive in central Wisconsin and check in at the Real Estate Center. Rooms open at 4:00 PM, and luggage storage is available if you get in early. Grab lunch at Mammoth Bar, then the full group opens the trip on Sedge Valley, Tom Doak’s English heathland-inspired design. After the round, we’ll head to the Sedge Valley putting green for our putting contest before sitting down to a welcome dinner at The Gallery.
Monday, August 16
The Lido / Sand Valley & The Commons & Night Golf
Our group splits for the day following breakfast at Aldo’s. Half takes on The Lido, the meticulously recreated Golden Age test, while the other half plays Sand Valley, Coore & Crenshaw’s original vision for the property and the course that set everything in motion. Lunch is at your leisure at Craig’s Porch or Mammoth Bar. Everyone reconvenes at 5:15 PM for a shotgun on The Commons, Jim Craig’s 12-hole short course modeled after the famed links of Prestwick and North Berwick. Dinner is at Bill’s BBQ, and then it’s back out to The Sandbox for night golf.
Tuesday, August 17
The Lido / Mammoth Dunes & The Sandbox
Breakfast at Aldo’s, then the rotation continues. If you played The Lido on Monday, today belongs to Mammoth Dunes and its wide corridors and big swings. If you played Sand Valley, it’s your turn at The Lido. Lunch is on course at The Lido clubhouse or Mammoth Bar. At 5:15 PM the full group gathers for a shotgun on The Sandbox, followed by cocktails and our dinner and awards night at Aldo’s.
Wednesday, August 18
Sand Valley / Mammoth Dunes & Departure
One last early breakfast at Aldo’s before the final rotation. Monday’s Lido group plays Sand Valley, while the rest of the crew heads to Mammoth Dunes. Once the final putts are holed, we’ll grab lunch at Craig’s Porch or Mammoth Bar and say a tough goodbye to a place that will soon feel like home.
