Phenomenal Day at Sandy Pines.

Gorgeous weather on a gorgeous course…. Can’t get any better. Course looked great. Greens were smooth rolling. Fairways were like butter. Worth every penny. Breakfast at the restaurant was also spectacular. Highly recommend

Best Golf experience I’ve ever had!!

We had a work group stay and play over the weekend. From the moment we arrived at Sandy Pines we were treated to a first-class golf course and accommodations. The staff (restaurant,golf course and lodging) couldn’t have more professional, accommodating and most importantly friendly. You will never find a better bang for your buck golf stay and play than Sandy Pines!!

I will be back!!

Nice golf course

The course was in great shape. The weather was great. The only thing I would do different would be the vending machines should be up and operational or a golf cart girl driving around serving drinks or snacks.

Really well played out course with great drainage and great conditions

The course is sweet but getting very crowded and with the GPS carts it’s like you playing in controlled environment. Only warning is on cart which when you driving up looking for ball will lock you up where your cart don’t move. No signs on course and cart don’t beep when getting close to boundaries they have setup. At times it really tics you off. I heard so many people stuck swearing at the gps controlled system . I guess only way to control knukklheads to lazy to walk but give a warning beep before your locked out

Mid December Golf

For the middle of December the course was in pretty decent shape. The greens were not fast but played about medium. The pace of play was somewhat slow as it took our foursome about 4 1/2 hrs to finish 18. Especially at this time of year. I guess it just depends on what golfers are in front of you. We ordered food on the 8th and when we arrived at the clubhouse to get our food we were informed that they didn't have brats even though it was listed on the cart to order. Also, when we arrived at the clubhouse, we had to wait because our food wasn't ready, 2 hotdogs and chips. Sure, I know that's trivial bs to most but just had to mention it. I've played here quite often and each time out is a different scenario. To be expected.
