Such a great place!!

I can not believe how reasonably priced it was for our 2:30 tee time for only $62! Course was beautiful and staff was awesome. Range was in just as beautiful of shape as the course. Pillow soft fairways beautiful greens and tee boxes to match! I am not kidding when I say this place could easily charge $150 for a round compared to courses I’ve played in my life. I have absolutely nothing bad to say about Sandy Pines. Go play there immediately !!

Beautiful Course in Northern Indiana

We played Sandy Springs as Indiana leg of our four states in four days golf trip through the Midwest, and were quite pleasantly surprised. Sandy Springs as a very playable layout, in great condition, and quite pleasing to the eye. People are super-friendly, greens fees are a bargain, and lunch at the club’s quite popular restaurant was fun. If you want to add in the Indiana farm experience, stay at Fair Oaks, just down the road!

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.
