What makes Mammoth Dunes unique?
Mammoth Dunes may draw its name from the prehistoric pachyderms that once roamed the grounds during the Ice Age, but architect David McLay Kidd created a golf course of mammoth scope and scale. Golfers can swing freely on the tee, and outsized slopes and sand pits create thrills and spills. The greens themselves maintain the theme – meaning that sometimes a well-placed miss can be even better than an indifferent GIR.
