Rodeo Dunes - Course #1

About the club

Rodeo Dunes represents a return to Coore and Crenshaw’s design roots. The rolling, sandy site is reminiscent of their remarkable Sand Hills Golf Club (Mullen, NE), the course that launched the architectural duo’s career and the minimalist genre of course design. As they did at Sand Hills, Coore and Crenshaw have diligently whittled away at the property to capture the very best 18-hole routing, working in, around, and over dunes up to 90-feet tall. Coore calls the land, “some of the most gifted we’ve ever come across.”. Coore notes that the contours of the land provide such a natural canvas that fairways and greens need very little shaping. The course will be largely built by hand, as the links of Scotland and Ireland were centuries ago. “It is truly a very special site, really quite remarkable,” Coore adds. “Michael Keiser found a great site at Sand Valley, and now he has done it again.”
