Even before Pete Dye completed the River Course at Blackwolf Run, he had taken the front nine of the original Blackwolf Course (Best New Resort winner of 1988) and merged it with a newly constructed nine to form the Meadow Valleys course. Although the Sheboygan River isn't in play as much on Meadow Valleys as it is on the River (the 18th hole plays over it), there are plenty of deep bunkers and tricky pin positions.
