Sanford Golf Course

Love playing this course! Beautiful setting. Some challenge but not horrible. Great layout!
Need to address some mud hazards on #11.

This course is a reasonable layout for a Muni. I would not recommend playing after any significant rainfall as we experienced the night before. There is virtually no drainage because the course is primarily clay. Even the elevated areas are completely wet and difficult to play without getting splashed. I need to skip a hole to get around a foursome who were playing cart path only. Walked off after 8 holes and they suggested that I request that Golf Now provide a rain check/refund. Although the course was open for play it was virtually unplayable. The practice area is always closed around rain events as the area is totally submerged. Please advise about a refund.

Sanford’s a fun course to play. I enjoy the doglegs and the Ross small greens. Tricky trying to keep your chips from rolling off. 😂 Great value and friendly staff.

A good value if you want to work on your game. Don't miss a fairway as the course needs lots of repair

Well maintained. I love playing this course and it’s a great value! There’s no hot food though! Just 2 choices of refrigerated, pre-packaged sandwiches. Our crew was looking forward to some hot dogs at the turn, but left with only a cold turkey & cheese. ;)

Low cost and a great golf course for the average player.

First off, my expectations were very low. I had not heard bad things, per se, but being a muni, well... you know what I'm talking about. That said, driving up to the clubhouse is somewhat underwhelming. The shop is minimalist, but the staff are nice. No grill, but they do have snacks and drinks for sale in the golf shop, including beer. Good prices - I bought 3 beers and a pack of nabs for $8.50. (That's cheaper than Augusta N@tional!!!) I can't comment on the range, since I did not warm up, but I'm sure it's fine. Carts are nice and fairly new. EZ-GO Elite, with windshield and USB charger, but no rain cover for the clubs. Now for the course. Interesting layout, to say the least. The front nine is shorter than average: one par five and none of the par fours are over 400 yards. Some doglegs, minimal bunkers, very much target golf. Driver can run through the fairway on most of the doglegs if not shaped correctly. It was definitely nice having a friend in the group that had played it several times, so he could help with club selection off the tee. Turning to the back nine, the course becomes a little longer, as in 516 yards longer from the back (blue) tees. Granted, par is 36 on the back and 35 on the front, but it's still a significant difference. Only one dogleg par 4, so tee it high and let it fly! The highlight of the back nine is #17. 451 yard par 4. Get you some! Overall, Sanford GC far exceeded my expectations. It's a fair test of golf and for the money, you can't beat it. Oh, I almost forgot to mention the greens. Good grass, old-school bermuda, so a little grainy, but they are TINY! I'm pretty sure they're smaller than the greens at Harbour Town on Hilton Head Island. I think if you hit it in the middle of every green, the longest putt you'd have would be 25 ft. Hitting any of the 18 greens in regulation, feels like an accomplishment. Seriously! Go play it and find out for yourself! You'll enjoy the challenge!
