Had to pay double because of the app

Went in to check in for my tee time and was told I owed for 3 golfers, when I had already paid beforehand. Couldn’t start until paying. Worth the money, but watch out who you book through.

Another course in a housing development

Played Sands and Piper. Nothing special other than location (we were staying in Sandpiper Bay). If you can find a good Hot Deal, it's fine. Otherwise you're better off playing the Reese Jones course across the street. The conditions are good and greens are consistant.

Great Course

We played Piper to Bay today. My dad and I played this for the 2nd time and the course overall was in great shape. The pace of play was extremely slow. A lot of golfers out playing today and no ranger to help speed up the slow golfers. Highly recommend this course and we will definitely be back in hopes to play the Sand course!

Decent value for the money

Love the layout. Good fairways and tees. Decent greens but found some inconsistencies. Cart paths need some help A few bare spots here and there and some thin lies along the fairway edges. The course is starting to show its age but still worth a play.
