Very Good

The course was very good condition especially considering that they are recovering from the hurricane. The only problem was the 5hr round because they had a members tournament going. But even over that time it was very enjoyable.

Bay & Sand course

Excellent greens and great layout. Unbelievable value in Myrtle Beach area! Would play here every day if I could! Held up on the Bay but clear sailing on the Sands(back 9)

Fairways we're all well drained & bunkers had great sand. Water on many of the holes but do not come into play got the most part. Good scenic addition to help keep the fairways dry

Staff from the pro shop to the starters we're welcoming and courteous

Great first game of vacation! Setting the bar high

As our first game of our vacation this year, the Sand Piper Bay is setting the bar high.

We were worried with hurricanes Florence & Michael’s passage that there would be some damage, but the course is in top conditions. The greens are perfectly maintained.

We will go back before the end of our vacation.

Yikes the Flies!

Course was in great shape. But the flies were biting us so much, we almost quit before the round was finished. Bug bands helped a little, so appropriate repellent might work, but we won't go back there for a while.

Fun Layout

Played a week after Hurricane Florence hit the NC coast.

No standing water anywhere on the course. 90 degree rule in effect. Greens were very good but maybe a bit slow.

Great layout.....keep this course on your short list!.

Course rebounding after heavy rains

We've had 3 weeks of heavy rains, so I didn't expect a dry course. Had to play cart path only, which slowed things up, but overall the course was in pretty good shape considering the soaking rains recently. Greens were slow, but in decent shape after some aeration a few weeks ago.

Too wet.

Had two visitors that HAD to play before flying home. Got a great rate at SandPiper for a AM time. Played the Piper/Bay courses and found that the greens were much improved from earlier this spring. Only #4 and #8 on Piper were still recovering, but almost all others were back. Greens were aerated, but you could see that the course is almost recovered. It was Cart Path as we had over 12-14 inches in the last two weeks. Will play again, but not until the course dries out.

Four (4) Temporary Greens

Except for the four (4) temporary greens on the Sand nine, this course was in very good shape. I played Sandpiper years ago when it had bentgrass greens. They converted to a strain of Bermuda grass a few years ago, and they withstand the hot summers a lot better. The four holes that had temp greens were just a couple weeks from being back on their regulation greens.

I teed off in the afternoon, around 1:00 PM, and finished my round in just over 3 hours.
