Ranger

Sand Valley is a golf resort and community settled gently upon 12,000 acres of rugged, pre-historic sand dunes in central Wisconsin. Here, residents and guests alike will find five world-class golf courses built in harmony with the land, friendly and welcoming hospitality, and a community of golf and outdoor enthusiasts who have been drawn to the raw beauty and serenity of the vast Wisconsin Wilderness.

Beyond premier golf, Sand Valley offers guests flavors of the region through farm-to-table culinary experiences.  From fat-tire biking, hiking, fishing, and kayaking to ice hockey or a guided cold plunge, Sand Valley is a year-round celebration of the outdoors.  With 16 grass tennis courts, and the eleventh Court Tennis facility in the United States, Sand Valley has become a mecca for racquet sport enthusiasts. 

Working at Sand Valley is a dream for golf fans, outdoor enthusiasts, and hospitality professionals alike. The Sand Valley team works together to create experiences of a lifetime for our guests. We are passionate stewards of our resort, our community, and our environment. As an endlessly curious group, we ask questions, share ideas, and always look for a better way. With a hard-working attitude, we help guide our guests through their pure golf experience, immersed in Wisconsin's natural beauty and away from the demands of daily life.
