This course has some challenging holes

One of my favorite local courses to play. I like the layout. You have the ability to play either of the three 9 hole layouts. Allowing you to take your time and enjoy your round. Watch the water hazards though.....there be some alligators to greet you.

Greens punched

Have played sandpiper many time. In most cases, course is in decent shape. Was surprised when I got to course, that all the greens had been punched and sanded. Really should have posted on golfnow. Would not have played there if I new in advance.

good for average golfer

It is a great course for beginners and intermediate players. It has challenges, but is not what I would call a tough course to play. All in all it was a fun and enjoyable round of golf.

An excellent day with wonderful people

No matter how you hit the ball, you will get an opportunity to use every club in your bag on this course. Some fairways are narrow, some dogleg, some are uphill. Some of the parr threes are long and you might have to use a wood or hi-bred if you're not a long hitter. Some greens are very fast while others putt quite a bit slower.

Needs maintenance on Palms Course

We played the Lake and Palms nine hole courses. The lake course is very nice but the Palms needed maintenance (especially the fairways).
We have played better courses for this price level.

Good experience

We had a good round of golf yesterday.
Fairways were good, the rough had some weeds in the rough. I have played there many times and feel it is a good test, requiring target golf on some holes.
Greens were in good shape overall.

Come play

The course was well maintained with wide fairways, little rough and good water hazards. The time of day was a key factor ; after noon was good for the pace of play.

Good practice course

The course is in okay condition but served as a great warm up for me for the later round at Club Renaissance.

Not a bad layout and the greens were in okay shape.

Nice course, small greens, rude starter

The course was in good shape; maintained fairways and greens. The greens were on the small side, providing a nice challenge. The traps overall had were your typical hard sand, some like concrete.

The staff in the pro shop and Bunkers were helpful and friendly. The same cannot be said about the starter. This was my 3rd time playing Sandpiper, and he still acts rude and like he doesn't want to be there. I heard several others making similar comments. I had to ask him with course we would be on at the turn and it was like I awoke him from a 3 day bender. I understand he's a busy man, but he's paid to provide a service.

Overall, good place for the price. Pace of play was a nonissue, facility was clean and the course was moderately challenging. Easy to book tee times online.

Ok at a discount

Got a hotdeal off golfnow and wouldn't play this course again unless it's another hotdeal. They're asking price is high for what you get @ normal rate. Rennaisance up the road is way better for comparable money on a hotdeal.

This was a good course. The day was extremely windy and cool, didn't get to play as long as I would have liked to play due to foul weather conditions.
