Sandpiper Bay Golf & Country Club - Piper Nine

We had a super day and found all staff members to be friendly and helpful. Pace of play was ideal at 4hrs15 min. Like everywhere else in Myrtle Beach right now, the course is still quite wet after an exceptionally rainy fall season, so fairways and approach areas are soggy. Drives and second shots that fall short of the green get very little (if any roll) after first impact. Greens are firm and dry and run true. Club selection becomes critical in these conditions. Highly recommended course overall.

Course was wet but this was to be expected , greens were very good and ran true

Pace of play was poor due to there were 2 groups of 5 ( yes 5 ) players ahead of us. They would not signal us to play through and with no Marshall on the course we waited on almost every shot. Until frustrated we quit on the 15 hole

All in all we like this course and will return, but will carry my cell phone to contract pro shop if play is an issue

Let me preface my comments by saying that I am a general manager of a large corporation. I know Customer service very well and this place needs CS training. It’s a very nice course with good greens, fairways, and practice facilities. For the price, it’s a good deal. Just don’t expect much with service. I can tell that they just hire the typical grumpy old men here and they obviously take their jobs too serious and over manage everything. When I come out to play golf, I have enough things on my mind than following all of their silly little rules such as checking in before you touch the practice grounds. The staff feels the need to ride down and tell us to check in before using the facility. That’s fine if that’s the rules but I don’t have to like it or come back. I play at much fancier courses and don’t have all of these annoyances. But no worries, we will continue to go to Thistle and will definitely tell everyone else to avoid this place if they don’t want to be bothered. Focus on giving the customers the best experience possible. Overall good course but unfortunately we will not be returning. We drove an hour for this place. There is a common theme of grumpy old men at these Myrtle area courses. Getting sick of it. Don’t work if you can’t be nice to the paying patrons. Good luck.

Course was in great shape. Highly recommend. Cart paths needed some work. Greens were in great shape.

Even wet this course was good. Greens immaculate ..

After all that rain I can honestly say that it was not that wet The greens are always in great shape . We had a great round at a very good pace

Snuck in a round during the only dry 2 hours of the day. Cart path only, still got around Piper Bay in less than 2 hours greens were quick! And in great shape. A few traps flooded, course saturated, but overall nice overseeding, and well maintained

Course was cart path only after some heavy rain the prior day. Course was also recently over seeded. Stick out feature was the long par threes, usually over water. 200 yards from the white tees.

Thew wind makes a big difference but the course was very dry compare to the last visit...

Cold today the Cdn cold snap hit. Rained again, but not as much but the cold has taken charge.

The course was much better overall today. the over seeding has really taken over and just sucked off the water. Greens were fast and sneaky. Club house is great, staff are really great, helpful will be back next year to this all over again.

Lovely course tough but fair. The wildlife is out of this world.

Fairways still a little wet so cart path only. But fairways get better daily. Tee boxes very plush. Staff very friendly. With 27 holes every round is a little different. Love this course.

The course was in wonderful shape, greens were fast and true. Tee boxes were plush and the fairways were cut perfectly.

Over seeding and play was cart path only. The course is in the best shape it's been in years.
