The Tom Doak<\/a>-designed Wild Spring Dunes, a new resort course near Nacogdoches, Texas, will open eight of its 18 holes to preview play starting Nov. 12. The course is scheduled to open fully in October 2026.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The eight holes in the preview loop can be played twice, forming an early 16-hole version of the full 18-hole course. All 18 holes will open to preview play in the spring of 2026. Go to wildspringdunes.com<\/a> for more information.<\/p>\n

Doak designed the course for Michael Keiser, co-owner of Sand Valley \u2013 currently home to four full-size and highly ranked public-access courses<\/a> \u2013 in Wisconsin and son of Bandon Dunes Golf Resort founder Mike Keiser<\/a>. Michael Keiser also is developing Rodeo Dunes outside Denver<\/a>, which opens fully in 2027, and Old Shores in the Florida Panhandle, which is in pre-construction.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Doak\u2019s course will be the first at Wild Spring Dunes. The team of Bill Coore and Ben Crenshaw has routed a second course that is in the pre-construction stages at the property in East Texas, which is about a 2.5-hour drive from Dallas or Houston and a 1.5-hour drive from Shreveport, Louisiana. The property\u2019s sandy terrain features surprising elevation changes for this part of Texas.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Plans also call for the construction of a short course, a putting course and a state-of-the-art practice facility at the 2,400-acre Wild Spring Dunes. Construction of a clubhouse and lodge is planned to begin soon, and cottage sites and home sites are available.\u00a0<\/p>\n
