Sandpiper Bay Golf & Country Club - Piper Nine

Unfortunately the 4some ahead of us was very slow; nobody ahead of them, but they didn’t let us play through. We were a 3some, so understood we would’ve faster than a 4some, but it would have been nice to let us play through.

Go play Thistle, Pearl or Sea Trail courses instead. Honestly I was not impressed. Disappointed in fact because I had read good reviews; plus I love the name.

The fairways were well kept , no

high grass anywhere. Greens were excellent . Best course I have played this week

We made a starting time on TeeOff.com for 12pm and arrived at the course at 11:30am. Checked in the pro shop at 11:40am and are receipt printed that are starting time was 12:56. We checked with the starter to find out why we were moved to 12:56 pm and were told they don't even open up the one 9 until 1:pm. They finally got us out around 1pm. Felt bad for the starters because they were overwhelmed by the amount of golfers there trying to get out. We thought the communication from TeeOff and the Golf course was very poor by not informing us of the 1 hr. delay. and making it a 5 1./2 day.

The golf course was in great shape but overall we were disappointed in a long day there and missing our 6:30 dinner reservation with our wives.which we'll be hearing about for the next 3 months.

I have player this course over 20 times… this is the best condition ever!!

We have played Sand Piper Bay several times and it is a very nice layout and always in great condition. I do not particularly care for the way they handle our golf bags. Upon arrival they load your bags and warn you about bringing in alcohol. Ok, fine! Then searched my cooler with supplies for low blood sugar (not sure about 4th amendment violations). Then after the round unloaded my cart because they needed it and lost my bag of blood sugar supplies and my new towel!

Played the Bay and Sand nines. Greens were excellent and fairways were in great shape. Course is probably the best value on the strand.

I played Sand and Piper on 9/24/2021 and tee to green course is in great shape. The greens were rolling around a 10 and rolled true. The course is always in great shape and a great value when coming to Ocean Isle Beach. I will play this course again .

Staff are helpful and friendly. Amenities excellent. Pace of play was great. Greens were fast and firm and putted true. Sand traps were well maintained. Every hole different with different challenges. Multiple tees for every level player. My wife loves the course.

Played in a threesome got done in 3 hours 30 minutes teeing off at 9am on Monday. Played Sand-Piper. The 3 par 5s on the piper side is what will bring me back. Course conditions were great from tee to green. Best bang for your buck on the GolfNow app.
