No course management

Course was in okay shape. No one to manage pace. Took three hours to play front 9 because of one foursome. Green fees weren’t far off from much nicer courses. No beverage cart on course at all. Overall not a good value for the price. Used to be a pretty good course.

Back 9 challenges

Checked in at pro shop and staff member actually took us out to meet the people we were paired with. Nice touch. We enjoyed the front nine...good mix of holes and pace of play was great. Back nine had lots of water and tricky holes. When you tee off on 14, there is actually a green behind you that golfers are approaching. A little crazy! Still had a great time..don't worry much about score..just enjoy being out and met great people too! Stopped at the Ford Garage in Lakeland...highly recommend!!

sorry to hear of your opinion, i can assure you a group of 8 is not permitted and we do have people in place to monitor such disrespectful actions , we have extended our tee times from the standard 7 and 8 minutes apart that all golf courses use to 8 and 9 minutes apart to speed play - we are sorry for what it appeared to be, but the residents are quick to call and we hope we are quick to react to any groups of that number that quiet frankly disrespect golf if attempting an 8

! see badgolf1234 ( again)- just stop with this please

I was asked by my cart girl to help find carts not yet in after dark, I had just come off working with a tractor due to darkness, as we started out we met your group and I simply asked you to stop so I could ask if you all saw any other carts behind you - this somehow was offensive and off it went. I see a comment that a13 year old was present -I suggest that smoking weed in front of a 13 year old sets no good example - the smell was evident from 10 feet away, keeping carts out beyond dark is disrespectful to the workers who must clean them, the cart girl exited my cart and stood away and then she got back in the cart and left with me - she said zero to anyone.

Bottom line is smoke your weed and enjoy your golf elsewhere - you are not welcome back.

Sandpiper= good times

Sandpiper is an excellent course. Conditions are fair. Pace of play was great on a chilly December morning. It’s challenging but a good course and good value for your money. I always enjoy playing it! The restaurant/bar opens at 10:30am. Can’t beat that if you finish by 10:25am.

Owner zero star

Owner met our party on whole number 18. And threatened to fight everybody in my party. Had a strong smell of alcohol. Even had a 13-year-old in my party. Kid was very traumatized.

Not s fan

This is a nice course, but has some VERY dangerous conditions, there are tee boxes that are in line for people playing other holes, there are paths to the next hole that take you in line to the group behind you along the previous hole.

Always descent

Greens are excellent . The rest on the course is in good shape. Not super nice but not bad either. $36 for the am and $20 hot deals make it very appealing. Always a descent course for the price
