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.

Dandy in DeMotte

We've been talking about if for several years now and finally made the trip up to Sandy Pines. The entire experience was excellent! The customer service was outstanding including the world's best starter (forgive me as I cannot remember the ladies name)! The layout is a great combination of long, medium and short holes. The par 3 holes are all beautiful including one one the back over water! I loved the subtle elevation changes. I think #2 was my favorite hole on the course.

Course conditions were on point especially for early April. The sand was immaculate and the greens rolled true. Tee boxes and fairways were all well maintained.

I loved the atmosphere of the restaurant and the food was on point. Get a burger! You'll love it.
