Sand Springs Golf Course
Rating Snapshot
About
Sand Springs Country Club was founded on the same passion that sears the soul of those who play this ancient and wonderful game. The meticulously maintained public par 72 course stretches over 6613 yards. Multiple tee boxes are in place to fairly challenge the skills of all golfers. Bent grass greens tees and fairways are the ultimate playing surface and contribute aesthetically with subtle shading between fairways greens and rough.

Great shape.
Course is in great shape. Pace of play was excellent.
Beautiful
The course was in beautiful shape for September. It was a little slow paced, BUT it was a sunny Sunday Afternoon. I will play again!
Enjoyed my time here
I really enjoyed all the amenities and thoughtful layout of the course including the fresh water coolers and bathroom on the course.
The greens and fairways were lovel.
Food was wonderful and they offer coolers for beer.
Staff was also lovely.
My only con…
Most of the tee-boxes were in bad shape. Dried out with more sand then grass. This issue definitely needs to be resolved, and it is the only reason I am not giving this place 5 stars.
Older resort type
This course was nice to play but it has clearly not been kept to the standard it was built to. The holes are tight and some very unique. The sand traps had little sand and some greens had crab grass in the fringe. Overall, worth the $27 I paid to play but no need to drive an he plus to play each year.
Bedrock
The greens were perfect, the fairways are flawed and the mounds can be punishing. I never seen so many rocks, pebbles, and stones on a golf course. This course in the poconos and must be built on shale. When your ball runs off the fairway the ground is literally rock hard. Overall a good course for a great price.
Great value
Great layout and price. Staff very friendly. Course was in excellent shape other than sand traps. They are terrible.
Ranger needed
Arrived for a 7:44 teetime but did not tee off until after 8:15 due to a group of over 30 being in front of us. We used a rain check for 9 holes to pair with 18 and it was $32 for 9 holes! Don’t waste your money. The bunkers are filled with green disgusting water, and the ones without the green water are basically giant rocks next to the greens. This place used to be nice. Went into the bar to get hot dogs for the turn and we told there would be no food until 11am. Play blue ridge that’s a few minutes away.
Too much leaves. No course maintenance for the fall.
Too many lost balls due to too much leaves on the ground. No maintenance being done.
SLOW SLOW SLOW
3 hours for front 9. No ranger or starter... Fairways have no grass....
This course has some very difficult holes
Traveling around this course will reveal some very easy and very difficult holes. We played from the gold tees so the course did not play overly long.
Extremely Disappointing
Have played this course numerous times over the years and although it was never in great shape, it was always decent and playable. Most recently, it has really fallen into a disgraceful state. The only aspect of the course that I would come close to rating 3 stars are the greens. Fairways and tee boxes are beat up and in desperate need of attention. I understand that we haven't had much rain this summer but it's obvious that the problem is more than a lack of water. As is the case with Sand Springs' other facility (Edgewood) it appears that the focus has drifted away from investing in the golf course and paying (pun intended) more attention to the events (weddings, banquets....) side of the business. Not sure if/how any homeowners are impacted by having a golf course in their community but I would be one irate resident if I had to pay any type of association fees related to the course. Unfortunately, my group, along with others we previously steered towards playing Sand Springs will not be returning. We've already added Edgewood to our list of run down courses that should be avoided and Sand Springs joins that list.
Thank you for taking the time to review the course. Let us first start by apologizing for the poor experience you had during your visit. Please know that the current condition is by no means the standard we strive to achieve, and we are currently working towards getting things up to par. Thank you for playing Sand Springs Golf Course. We hope to see you again soon.
Great Day of Golf
Friendly and helpful staff. Beautiful course. One of the best i have played in NEPA. Will be back.
