Greens

The greens were full and in good shape but were extremely slow. All the water coolers were empty and they had no refreshment cart. When I called the pro shop to inform them they didn’t seem concerned. The temperature was 91*. Personal coolers not allowed.

Good deal

Found a great deal on a Saturday morning, so my boy and I decided to check this place out. The course is surrounded by houses, but the conditions were good, and the houses were always far enough away so as not to pose much of a threat of hitting any of them. We only played the Piper nine, and the staff was great about accommodating us and allowing us to only pay for nine, even though I had booked it as 18. The fairways were wide and almost all straight, so that's good for our skill level. The pace was pretty slow, but that's good since my son takes a lot of strokes. Overall it was very nice and I'd definitely play here again.

Fantastic Course for Cheap!!

Paid under 30 for a round here and the course was immaculate. Cant believe it was public. Greens were well maintained and there was plenty of water and sand obstacles to keep things interesting. If I had to make one complaint it would be that the womens tee boxes avoided most of the obstacles making it pretty boring for the advanced female golfer. All in all 10\10.

Back and better than ever before...

I was really worried about this place in 2018. Happy to say they have rebounded nicely. If you are in this area on vacation, I highly recommended it. I've played all the courses in the Myrtle Beach area and this is by far the best value. Nothing really comes close in value. The course down the road (Thistle) at over double the price is overrated for what they charge. When I come to this area, SandPiper Bay is always a good choice. All three 9's were in great shape on this trip.

Course has a lot to offer

Staff was very friendly and helpful. Course was tough but not fair for average golfers. Only problem was a foursome who thought they owed the place hit into our group and just played through on there own when we were a threesome waiting on group in front of us

Dry n Fast

100 plus degrees, Tees were a bit chewed up due to the amount of play and had not been changed for a while along with dry fast and hard greens with cups needing repair and reset. Great fairways and traps and would recommend everyone to play.. Coolers were empty due to the heat but no reason for not refilling with ice and water.

Up charges

Couldn’t bring a cooler with water because of liquor license...

Had to rent clubs for my fiancé “because it speeds up play”. even though we waited behind a group of slower guys a half dozen times.

From the head professional. Coolers are permitted, coolers with outside alcohol are not. Drinking water is on the course every 3 holes.

Each golfer is required to have their own set of clubs.

Good tme

The only problem was cart path only.

That was understandable poured the night before. .No Beverage Cart.

Challenging course GPS could have helped. Not many courses out here don't have GPS. all in all 3.5 hours to play. Will definitely be back.
