Chocolate Drop: Jay Blasi Teases "Sand Mine" Project in Wisconsin
Courses and Architecture
In his 2025 "Year-and-Review" communique, Jay Blasi revealed that he will be designing a new course called The Sand Mine in Whitehall, Wisconsin.
"This has been a dream project of mine since 2020, when I first visited the site," Blasi wrote. "In 2020, the previous property owner, a mining company, sold the land to my friend Derrick Bushman and his brother Mitch. Together, we will work to transform this abandoned frack sand mine into one of the top golf courses in Wisconsin and beyond. We have a great team ready to go. Stay tuned!"
Whitehall is just under two hours west of Sand Valley Golf Resort and actually closer to Minneapolis than it is to any major city in Wisconsin. So: pretty far out in the boonies. But that's the custom these days.
Given the existence of Pinehurst Sandmines, I might suggest a name change, but I'm excited to see The Sand Mine (working title) come together. Blasi has been on a roll lately, with terrific public-course renos at Poppy Ridge and Golden Gate Park in California.
