Sand + Piper
Courses were in fantastic condition - fairways are like thick carpets. Greens putt true and roll well. Would play here anytime I can.
Vanilla Layout
All the holes began to look the same as my wife and I progressed around the course. Bunkers were very disappointing. Greens were extremely slow.
Excellent Round and Course
This past round was one of the most enjoyable rounds I have had recently. Course was in awesome shape. The greens were fast on some holes. Will definitely play again when we are at the beach.
. A very good day of golf
Two of our foursome hD played course previously. We all found the course to be in excellent condition. It is a very fair and forgiving course. None of us are great rec golfers - we're very average golfers and enjoyed the course a great deal. We'll definitely be back.
Fantastic course in great condition
Best bang for the buck! Not too hard for the average golfer. Fairways and greens in great condition and course layout is nice. Water coolers on the course and a cart girl. Driving range is open and pretty fast pace of play. Will definitely golf here again
Good Layout; good value
If you are looking for reliable conditions, interesting and challenging layout, fair price, then this course is worth playing. Shot making and not raw distance is the name of the game for this course. Which makes it enjoyable for all levels of golfers. Course was in great shape for this time of year. Plenty of water holes and enough blind shots to keep you honest.
Awesome course
Course was in great shape and the value was perfect
Great course
We played Sand-Piper. Course was in great shape. Great value and staff was extremely friendly.
Had to pay double because of the app
Went in to check in for my tee time and was told I owed for 3 golfers, when I had already paid beforehand. Couldn’t start until paying. Worth the money, but watch out who you book through.
