Great Course!

This is a great course. I am not a good golfer and it was one of the harder courses I have golfed. The grounds are spectacular, tons of staff working to keep it nice. Refreshment cart came by 5 times on our full round. Luxury quality golf carts.

Great course!!!!!!

Fantastic course, fun layout and great conditions. Unfortunately I was a single stuck behind a slow foursome who couldn’t take a hint. I understand a ranger isn’t a needed on a Tuesday morning but cmon guys. Five hours as a single is nuts.

Still five stars from me though as I recognize this wasn’t a course issue!

Amazing experience!

From Texas, I met my cousin from Chicago to play here. Both our first times and we’re already wanting to make this a yearly trip.

The course was stunning. Nicest public course I’ve ever played on, and rivals the private courses I’ve been lucky enough to play. For the price, experience, friendliness of staff, restaurant, cleanliness, you can’t beat it. What a great time! Although it’s not a terribly long course, it has a great layout and you have to play strategically which is great fun.

Amazing course

This is an amazing course that is usually very expensive to play I seen that there was a hot deal for the day and decided to make the drive to play and was quite surprised to see how nice this golf course is the greens are alittle fast and take some getting used to but after that nothing but good times and make sure you stop at the restaurant at the turn amazing food overall would recommend this course to anyone 10/10 quality and experience

Sandy Pines

Course was in excellent condition, even though everything around is dry.(bit of a drought) Greens are very receptive and roll true. Always enjoy playing at Sandy Pines.

Great course

Staff will meet you at the bag drop and load your clubs on the cart for you. Check in is very easy. Course is maintained very well. Hole 2 is very challenging. It seemed like we were the only foursome out on the course at times even though we saw plenty of other people. We were never rushed and never had to wait on others. $36 for 6 beers is outrageous. Good food at the 19th hole.
