Sandpines #16
Signature hole #16. Your tee shot must be left center to avoid the Scottish style bunkers on the right. The green is surrounded by hazards. Water, deep bunkers, and rough are waiting. The massive coastal sand dunes can be seen in the distance.

Good course

I think it’s a very good course, but there is no water or bathrooms anywhere makes it hard when you’re playing you have to go. also, I bought a hat that I was overcharged for it was supposed to be $25. When I got my home I noticed on my bill was $33.

Beautiful course!

We loved this links-style course. Reminded us of Bandon Dunes, but we were able to rent a cart! It would be a challenge to walk. Nice open fairways. Great little practice facility.

Only the front 9 was open and the greens were punched and sanded

Unfortunately, the course was only open on the front and these greens were punched and sanded. The course layout and design was great. A real challenge with the wind but fun overall. The staff however at check in did not make it known that the back 9 was not open or the greens were in the current condition. No food or beverage open at the time of play.

Overpriced and non friendly staff

$87 w a cart in dead winter in the rain is down righy criminal. Plus the staff was very unfriendly and rude . I have been going here for a very long time for good prices and conditions and this time it didn’t add up. I think the course will be sold soon and made into housing and you can tell

Winter play

Played on a rainy day and the course held up well. There were a few wet spots on the fairways.

The greens held up really well and in the afternoon when the sun came out they ran faster.

No restaurant was open.

A gem in my back yard

I’ve lived inFlorence for 8 years, but it was only in the last 9 months that I started playing this course, and only in the last 2 that I have walked it weekly , taking advantage of the twilight hours and the lack of crowds. I’ve managed 27 holes several times with a little daylight to spare. More often than not the course is wide open after 3pm or so, as many prefer not to contend with the prevailing windy conditions. However, late afternoon temps (June-Oct) are usually high 50’s to low 60’s - perfect for walking in shorts, and the wind is just something you get used to. Greens are always in good condition; portions of the fairways can be a little spotty and hard, but overall not bad. Staying in the short grass is vital, as the rough ranges from difficult to unplayable and eats mildly mis-hit balls like candy. Would like to see more easily identifiable yardage markers ((for those of us without range-finders), and hand carts could use a drink holder. Every hole on this course has a nice view, there’s plenty of wildlife, and walking it is a joy ( not to mention a decent workout). Most importantly it’s a great layout that’ll challenge the best golfers but still entertain the duffers.
