Sandpiper Bay Golf & Country Club - Piper Nine

Greens are good , all around good condition,, I would play again

Greens not fast but in great condition!!!,they have 27 holes ,3 >9 hole setups ,I played sand and piper both where a good layout . If you can hit the ball fairly straight there’s a good amount of room to setup for your approach shot!!!!

Superb greens and excellent staff. Fairways are good and rough has yet to green up and thicken up

Greens very different from last time here. Very slow compared to everywhere else I’ve played over the past 3 months including Sandpiper

Front 9 very slow Because of group ahead. No ranger to move them along. They did let us switch to Piper when we were supposed to play Sands so back 9 was better

Organization was totally chaotic at starter. Honestly believe this caused the very slow play. We were held up by 4 carts (8 people) playing one hole.

I have played this course a few times each year, and I think the course may be in the best condition ever. Fairways were excellent. Bunkers had sand not hard pan dirt. Greens were very good. We played Bay to Sands and the greens on the Sands were very plush and slower than the Bay, but perhaps they alternate cutting greens on the 3 different 9's.

The only problem we had were a group of 4 women playing in front of us, would not wave us up, and had the entire course backed up as we were playing as a twosome, and the 4 some behind us caught us on the third hole and had to wait on every hole. We actually had to wait 10 minutes on the par 4 8th tee, while the group in front of us were driving back and forth , both people would get out of the cart for each shot etc......

The par 5 9th was almost completely empty before we could tee off on # 8.. Then it got worse as we approached the 9th tee they had not finished teeing off yet and we would have had to wait 3 more shots, so we decided to skip that hole and play the Sands in less than an hour and half, to eliminate an over 5 hour round.

So it would be nice to have a ranger drive by once in a while, just to try to maintain an average 4 hour 20 minute round.

Course was just average for Myrtle Beach. Fairways okay, but greens still recovering from a recent airifing and were a little slow. Good layout and friendly people. Will be much better in a couple weeks.
