Sandpiper Bay Golf & Country Club - Piper Nine

I have played Sandpiper Bay in past years and have always enjoyed the course. Unfortunately, I have never seen such terrible greens. Almost no sign of grass. Just hard packed dirt painted green. Perhaps in another month they will be nice but if you are looking for nice greens, I can't recommend Sandpiper Bay at the present time.

The fairways and greens were terrible!!! Front nine in 2 hrs and back nine in 2hrs and 40min. Backed up and slow at turn.

The greens and fairways are in the worst shape I have ever played

Really like the layout of this course but it is desperate need of maintenance. The fairways on most holes were in descent shape but several had very little grass and the tee boxes were pretty much painted sand. The last 3 holes we played had NO grass at all on the greens.... They literally painted dirt and that was the greens.

It is a shame that this course is open. The entire course needs time to allow growth of its fairways and greens. Finding grass to play on , both fairways and greens was minimal. We know this course has been a great one in previous years, but one should not pay or play this course until conditions improve. Other courses in this area are not in this poor shape.

The one drive that missed the fairway was the best lie of the day. There was no grass on the fairways and very little on the greens. This course should be closed for repairs. Played this course last fall and it was in inpeccable condition. Bad management decisions and winter have wreaked havoc on this little gem

I’ve played here before and the course was in much better shape. This time the fairways were virtually grassless. Course needs some tender loving care

We were 40 minutes late to tee off. 5 hour + hour round. The system of running a 27 hole golf course needs attention. I was once a member at a 27 hole course never experienced anything like this. Once we were finally sent to the first tee 2 foursomes were waiting in front of us.Totally unorganized. The course itself is a nice layout well designed conditions were fair but expected at this time of year and at this price point. Nice practice facility but book early or you won't finish your round.

Played the Sand course, we were supposed to move to Piper, but the course was backed up. The staff noticed and quickly moved our 4 some to the Bay course where we finished smoothly. Another great day at Sandpiper Bay and great save by the heads up staff!

The organization of the tee times was the worse I have ever seen. Our tee time was for 1:01. We finally got off the 1st tee at 1:40. The starter checked us in then he missed us and the other twosome. It was not a good time. Prior to that there was an issue with the bag person. So I will probably not ever go there again

We have played this course several times each March for 8 or 9 years and it has always been one of our favourites. But after playing from grassless muddy fairways and putting on bare ground sprayed green pretending to be “greens” we left very disappointed.

My wife and I played here for the first time this season (Piper and Bay). We are snowbirds and just arrived in North Myrtle Beach for 2 months. We have always enjoyed Sandpiper Bay but this year's conditions were not very good. Greens in particular lacked much grass and were very shiny. Any spike mark showed up no matter how carefully you walked. 2 fairways were cart path only but others were quite damp.

Hopefully greens will improve as weather gets better. I love the layout of Sandpiper Bay so we were disappointed to see these conditions.

The layout was fine and the fairways were not bad for the time of year. Significantly though the greens had not wintered well at all. Very little grass that seemed to be covered in layer of mud. Perhaps seeding is on the schedule?

We couldn't believe this course was rated as a four star. So disappointed in the shape of it. Tee blocks had no grass, just sand. Greens seemed to be painted green with no actual grass. Not usually this critical but just had to be honest.

fairways had no grass.greens were spraypainted. ive played here before and never seen it in this bad a shape.

The conditions of bay course was average. The conditions of the sand course was fair. The greens were covered with some kind of felt substance which made putting very unpredictable.
