Sandpiper Bay Golf & Country Club - Piper Nine

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.

This course was in great shape. Played 18 holes in 3 1/2 hrs on a Sunday. Staff was friendly and very informative. Would highly recommend this course.

Course was in good shape for the most part. Greens a little rough but very playable. Staff very nice.

Sandpiper is a great 27 hole layout.

Best value in Sunset Brach area.

Great staff and amenities.

Was pleasantly surprised to find that only 6 holes were cart path only after a pounding rainstorm over night.

Course was very playable. Greens were smooth and true despite not having an opportunity for a morning mowing. Had not played for three years but will be back soon! Friendly staff.

Course was in great shape. Played Bay and Piper and the course was in very good condition. No complaints other than being stuck behind a very slow 4some on the back 9.

Great staff! Nice layout! The greens were nice and soft , not the most difficult course for low handicap players. The bay course of the 27 holes was tougher than the Piper nine. If you want a fast pace course look no further.

Just enough trouble to make it interesting. Played the Sand and Piper. Did not get to play the other nine. Conditions were good and play moved along quickly. Finished up in 4 hours and 15 minutes, just about right.
