A Golf Course Anyone Can Play

At just over 6600 yds from the Blues, and around 6400 for the Whites, you might consider this course short my modern standards, but with the assortment of long and short par 4's it is a stener test than you might think. While not characterized by landing zones, the course demands strategically positioned your drives ( not always with the driver) on many of the tee shots.Great assortment of par 3's and 5's to round out the experience. The small greens are strategically bunkered, with some severe mounding to make your short game feel challenged. Greens were not fast, but you still had to respect them. You need to try this course!

Check yardage to select right tees

Sand's nine has 3 par 3's and 2 par 5's so it plays longer than a course with standard 2 par 3's and 2 par 5's. If you normally play whites when the yardage is less than 3250yards you may want to play golds. Same for the Piper nine even though it has 3 par 3's and 3 par 5's.
