Lido Golf Club on the southern shore of Long Island, New York, was probably the greatest golf course not to survive the Great Depression. For decades golf course architect Mike Keiser dreamed of reproducing Lido and finally took the leap in 2021 deciding to recreate the legend on the Sand Valley resort site in central Wisconsin. Ron Whitten narrates this spectacular hole-by-hole flyover of the new Lido in Nekoosa, Wisconsin.

Correction: In the introduction we misspoke when saying Mike Keiser Sr., who had dreamed for decades of reproducing Lido, made the decision to recreate the course at Sand Valley Resort. It was Keiser's two sons, Michael and Chris, the owners of the Sand Valley Resort, who made the decision to build a duplicate Lido and it was accomplished without their father's involvement.

If I could see a new one of these every day for the rest of my life I’d be a happy man

This course looks *ridiculously* hard lol. So awesome that they finished it.

The beauty of the Lido is the way the course reveals itself as you walk past the various mounds and undulations. This video misses the magic that can only be seen at eye level.

Beautiful golf course. We need more like this in each part of country.

I LOVE how this course looks. It has the appearance like it’s been there since the 1920s. It takes a lot of talent and effort to do that with golf courses these days.

I could listen to Ron Whitten’s voice on every golf broadcast. Distinct and pleasant

An uncanny crispness to the forms, fascinating to see it freshly made. Will be interesting to see how the course matures and evolves over a few years.

I had the opportunity to be on the staff of the Lido last summer and I can tell you that the course is very challenging with over 130 bunkers , many hidden, a good caddie is worth every penny and there are several there. As the course matures it will be a great test for the better golfer

As someone who plays the current Lido here on Long Island quire regularly, this was a joy to watch. I see some of the old course in what we currently have here and love every bit of it.

This third Eden hole reminds me of the 4th at Augusta. Is that hole at Augusta considered an Eden replica at all? It’s amazing how many forced carries. Absolutely amazing golf design.

@anthonypioppi273 4 ай бұрын

Good eye. Yes, Mackenzie designed the then 13th after the 11th at St. Andrews Old.

So we're golfers just insanely good back then or what? Surely the yardages can't be the same. A six hundred yard par 5, with hickory clubs. And 16000 sqft greens, that had to have been slow by any measure. I really wonder what golf looked like then, amazing. Adding another course to the old bucket list.

It was 6,700 yards in 1918.

In case you don't know, you can play the "computer model" by Peter Flory, which is mentioned at the 1:15 mark. It's a course in the video game PGA Tour 2K23. The course is named LIDO v1 by "Hickory Ghost" (Peter's handle). If you want to see what it looks like, I literally just put out a playthrough video last week: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hL2ehNFh0rPQoKc.html

I'm sure it's great if you love a links course, and I wouldn't refuse a round here, but it seems a bit vague, and featureless.

@bt2476 4 ай бұрын

Beautiful no doubt! But I believe a mistake to build there in the middle of nowhere. They should've waited until this could've been recreated seaside to be nearly an EXACT replica. Because without the Atlantic Ocean, it's not it.

@briankranz6386 4 ай бұрын

So, never build it then?

@Moishe555 4 ай бұрын

really nice job remaking this. looks kinda outta place in the middle of wisconsin though. still, i would love to come here!

@jimiverson3085 4 ай бұрын

You probably couldn't do this anywhere near Long Island now. FWIW, the prevailing soil in that part of Wisconsin is sand and there are consistent breezes. Don't know if they were able to orient the course so the prevailing wind blows across holes like it would have in the original.

@jimpanther9274 4 ай бұрын

They did orient it to have the same prevailing winds. And Michael, yes there is no ocean, but the original site was a filled lagoon, so the topography is completely manufactured in both instances, so at least that is the same. @@jimiverson3085
