Welcome, Sand Valley Guests

Welcome, Sand Valley Guests

With The Lido now shuffled into Sand Valley’s already stacked deck, this Midwest oasis boasts a lineup that rivals any destination in golf. After the day’s play is done and the favorite course debates wind down, grab a copy of The Golfer’s Journal. You won’t find rankings or swing tips here, but you will discover thoughtful storytelling, deeply researched history and unexpected surprises from all corners of the game. If you’re interested in joining TGJ as an official member, we offer three membership tiers to fit your preferences, each with its own unique benefits. Learn more below.
