SA N D VA L L E Y G O L F E X P E R I E N C E

Round up your group for this golf experience! Eight people will have the chance to fly to Sand Valley Golf Resort in Nekoosa, WI, for an exciting day of golf on the Coore and Crenshaw designed course, named best new course in 2017. Your day begins on an eight-seat King Air 200 out of the conveniently located Chicago Executive Airport in Wheeling, chartered through Northwest Flyers, a world-class Aircraft Management company with over 30 years of experience located just outside Chicago, saving you the four-hour drive each way. The 55-minute flight will take you to an airport 20 minutes from the course.

Then, a van will transport you and your guests to the course and back.

Sand Valley is a walking course and experienced caddies are included.

Food and beverages are on your own. Note: This is a one-day trip only.

The two foursomes cannot be split into separate days and times. A 60-day lead-time with back-up dates in case of inclement weather is requested due to the popularity of the course and availability of the planes. To be used spring, summer or fall of 2021.

Northwest Flyers has the ability to cater to all of your private aviation needs. From quick business trips and family vacations to multi-city world tours, NWF has the aircraft and the team to get it done.
