Great course, superb condition, fair and challenging

This is absolutely an off the radar gem of a course. Loved everything about it. Beautiful setting, wooded and surprisingly hilly. Challenging but fair layout, Staff was welcoming and helpful. Had lunch at the SP19 restaurant. It was very good. Homemade soup tops the list. Will absolutely be going back.

Great course- amazing conditions

Played the course- greens are in great shape especially for this early season. You can see in fairways there is quite a bit of play but the conditions were amazing and course was in fantastic shape.

Would say they kept letting two somes out instead of making foursomes which led to some waiting and back up - not sure why the ranger was not alleviating that with it being a two some holding everyone up including my foursome.

Also no running water in a few bathrooms and no drinking water or options to get drinking water except at club house would say that needs to be addressed.

Good track, slow play

Sandy Pines is a well maintained and nice layout course. The staff if very friendly and helpful. The 4 some in front of us was 2 holes behind the group in front of them. I called the pro shop and confirmed and they sent out the ranger. It helped a bit, but can ruin your round by even having to call. We waited on almost every shot. But, still a nice course that I’d play again, just get an early tee time to try to avoid the rude players.

Great course and staff, greens difficult.

I love the course and it's layout. Greens and tee boxes were a little rough due to play. Greens are extremely fast, probably too quick for the average golfer.

Nice Day at Sandy pines

Course looked good. A little beat up from play, but still gorgeous. Pace was surprisingly slow. Weather was perfect. Food was phenomenal.

Amazing course and accomadations

This was my second time at Sandy Pines this time I brought seven of my golfer women friends with me. We stayed at the new cottages with two people per room, etc. we golfed 18 holes in nine holes we ate dinner had breakfast. Everything was amazing.

Couldn’t believe what a beautiful facility it was. The cottages were immaculate service was tremendous Trisha and Lauren took care of us. Trisha took care of all the little things that we needed.

The staff was wonderful. The course was in great shape. We had a great time. Will be back again for sure. We recommend this accommodation as a stay and play for any Kind of get together

The stay and play package was a great deal. I can’t stress how wonderful the accommodations were the condition of the golf course in the staff that took care of us.
