Shake, Rattle and Roll
Nice to see bentgrass in the south. The fairways and greens were both in great condition. Greens were a bit slower than other courses but lovely to putt on.
Liked the putting and separate chipping greens at the start. For a single at the end of the day, pace of play was very good.
The title refers to the cart paths which could be rented out for a trick skateboard competition or maybe motocross.
Sunset
Sandpiper us in excellent condition for the winter month of February.
Good day at Sandpiper
All 4 handicap players and played from the whites which plays long enough. Nice course, nice layout. Greens a little slow and furry but overall would recommend this course
nothing has changed
Booked an am time to beat the "social pm times" who never finish before dark at this time of the year
5 hour round..ban senior men from playing scrambles...ridiculous
Absolute worst cart paths in the strand by far
My second time here and the first was the same..
I got talked into it and never again
Many many more better options at same or less cost out there
Nothing wrong!
The course was in perfect condition for a November round. Great value!
Great Course
Great Course, friendly staff.
Always enjoy playing this course.
Great Course
Was busy the day I played, but staff was very efficient. Course was in great condition and was challenging. Pace of play was good (4 hour round). Got paired up with three nice golfers (a couple from St Andrews Scotland and a gentleman from Sea Trails. Very enjoyable round. Highly recommend.
Great Course,Great conditions and Great Value
I doubt you will find a better couse in this area for the money ! The course conditions were perfect ! Greens, tees and fairways ! We played the SAND and PIPER nines and they presented a fair but challenging experience. The staff was super friendly and helpful.
Fun course
Well organized from the time you arrive, staff very friendly and informant.. course was in great shape except a few wet spots from a day early rain..greens rolled true and in great shape..overall worth the money and a fun course to play..throughly enjoyed our round…
Good Course, Crowded
Good Course with good fairways and greens in very good condition. Course layout is good, some fun holes and other challenging holes. Crowded most dsys.
Longer than I Remember
Fairways ere in good condition but the green surrounds were soggy and stopped any shot that was just short of the green This made the course play even longer.
