Golfer Reviews
Confusion
Course was great. However, when I checked in with pro shop they had no record of my 12:45 tee time reservation even though I had the printed reservation from Golf Now to confirm. The starter had no record of the tee time either, but worked us in after a 30 minute delay and much confusion.
Unfortunately the 4some ahead of us was very slow; nobody ahead of them, but they didn’t let us play through. We were a 3some, so understood we would’ve faster than a 4some, but it would have been nice to let us play through.
Will not be back
Go play Thistle, Pearl or Sea Trail courses instead. Honestly I was not impressed. Disappointed in fact because I had read good reviews; plus I love the name.
Great Course but Overbooked
We made a starting time on TeeOff.com for 12pm and arrived at the course at 11:30am. Checked in the pro shop at 11:40am and are receipt printed that are starting time was 12:56. We checked with the starter to find out why we were moved to 12:56 pm and were told they don't even open up the one 9 until 1:pm. They finally got us out around 1pm. Felt bad for the starters because they were overwhelmed by the amount of golfers there trying to get out. We thought the communication from TeeOff and the Golf course was very poor by not informing us of the 1 hr. delay. and making it a 5 1./2 day.
The golf course was in great shape but overall we were disappointed in a long day there and missing our 6:30 dinner reservation with our wives.which we'll be hearing about for the next 3 months.
Great course for the money
We have played Sand Piper Bay several times and it is a very nice layout and always in great condition. I do not particularly care for the way they handle our golf bags. Upon arrival they load your bags and warn you about bringing in alcohol. Ok, fine! Then searched my cooler with supplies for low blood sugar (not sure about 4th amendment violations). Then after the round unloaded my cart because they needed it and lost my bag of blood sugar supplies and my new towel!
Great Value
Played the Bay and Sand nines. Greens were excellent and fairways were in great shape. Course is probably the best value on the strand.
Golf at the beach
I played Sand and Piper on 9/24/2021 and tee to green course is in great shape. The greens were rolling around a 10 and rolled true. The course is always in great shape and a great value when coming to Ocean Isle Beach. I will play this course again .
