Wrong course reviewed! I apologize.

I apologize about the last review I wrote. It was meant to be for Schalamar Creek golf course and NOT Sandpiper. I have not played this course yet this year but from what I remember the course and what friends have told me, the course is in great shape! I can’t figure out how to delete a review so again, I apologize about giving a bad review.

Used to be nice

Haven’t played this course in several years but it used to be a pretty decent course. It is now one of the worst courses I’ve played in a long time. I don’t know what happened or why they let this course fall as far as it did but it is disappointing.

Good greens, fairways and tee boxes. Cool course layout.

Interesting design that puts you near the clubhouse three times. Back nine has some very challenging holes. 3-4 holes with water hazards.
Lots of singles playing this day, teamed up with a couple of them to have a fun round.
Bring your own drinks/cooler.
Definitely would play again.

Enjoyable course if you have realistic expectations

This course was affordable and enjoyable. Nice folks all around whether they were employees or players.

However, the layout is just plain weird. The main issue though is the pace of play. We started late because there were no carts. Yet, you can pay $10 extra to ride as a single. Seems like that option should be eliminated since there aren’t enough carts on the property. We started late and we’re backed up all day as a result.

It’s mystifying that management would invest in such nice amenities as ample parking, a great bar/restaurant and friendly staff, yet let the golfers day get completely, negatively impacted by the cart situation.

Nice friendly round

Was paired up with 2 guys and had a great round. Tee time was 8 AM got right out. Boxes and greens in nice condition greens ran well. Not fast but not slow. A couple of bare spots on fairway but assume that is par for the course this time of year. In totality was very well kept up. Guy in pro shop was nice and ad an enjoyable round.

Sandpiper

Really enjoyed this round of golf. The staff members were friendly and helpful. We started behind two slower players, it appeared that one was helping his buddy learn the game (we were all there once), but after waiting for a while we went by to let them know that we were going on ahead and starting on hole 2, they were good with that. The course is in good shape, the tee boxes were good but the greens were excellent, there are fairway areas where the grass is sparse but overall I was very pleased. I like the layout; though some fairways are narrow. Definitely recommend this course.

Play here all the time

This is the best course around for the money. The greens are always in great shape. The course holds water better than any Florida course around here. Yes, a few of the fairways on the back are pretty bad. They are constantly trying to fix. It does play a little slow at times. This is mostly due to the front being short. If you drive the ball 260+, you will probably wait some. Anyone saying the greens are bad are just lying. Some people are just unrealistic. They want to pay $30 and expect high end golf.

Could be a great course

Greens and Fairways were in great shape. Cart paths need allot of work. Hole 16 is brutal. Tee boxes could use some loving. All in all my son snd I had a good time. Ps to many holes with blind shots. One hole a ball hit the top of my cart while we were sitting in it.

The course itself is decent. The greens were in very good shape. My disappointment with the course was the fact that the front 9 was closed due to maintenance. This fact was not flagged when I booked the round and the staff member in the pro shop had no explanation. He also stated that the back 9 was to be closed the following day so I checked GolfNow but there was still no flag. I’ve had experience with this course failing to flag events before as I booked one time and arrived to find our tee time fell during a tournament or a league we and were 45 minutes late starting our round that time. I like the course but will contact them prior to booking in the future.
