Playing After Late Night Rainstorm

Was pleasantly surprised to find that only 6 holes were cart path only after a pounding rainstorm over night.

Course was very playable. Greens were smooth and true despite not having an opportunity for a morning mowing. Had not played for three years but will be back soon! Friendly staff.

Great day of golf

Course was in great shape. Played Bay and Piper and the course was in very good condition. No complaints other than being stuck behind a very slow 4some on the back 9.

Sandpiper Bay

Great staff! Nice layout! The greens were nice and soft , not the most difficult course for low handicap players. The bay course of the 27 holes was tougher than the Piper nine. If you want a fast pace course look no further.

Fun Round

Just enough trouble to make it interesting. Played the Sand and Piper. Did not get to play the other nine. Conditions were good and play moved along quickly. Finished up in 4 hours and 15 minutes, just about right.

I'd play again

Straight forward layout in good condition. Well worth the money. Cart paths could use some bump repairs.

Great starter and extremely organized

This place has it figured out. They have a team of starters and keep the golfers moving on time.

Course was very fair and in great shape.

Well down to management!

Great course

I just don’t like they start people on the back so once you make the turn you sow down.
