Sandpiper Bay Golf & Country Club

The greens are Mini Verde Bermuda. Practice facilities include a driving range, putting green and chipping green, which matters at a course this long since a proper warm-up changes how the opening holes go. The address is 800 N Sandpiper Club Dr in Sunset Beach, placing it in the cluster of North Carolina border courses rather than in Myrtle Beach itself, so factor a drive into the morning.

Review evidence here is thin and should not be leaned on. Only seven reviews are on file, averaging 4.57, with four at five stars and three at four stars and nothing lower. That is a perfect record on paper, but a sample of seven says very little about how the course plays week to week, and the most recent of those reviews dates to April 2022. There is no body of written feedback to draw conditioning conclusions from, positive or negative. Rather than fill that gap with guesses, the honest position is that Sandpiper Bay has a well-regarded architect, a long traditional layout, and no recent verified reporting from golfers who have played it. If current conditioning is a deciding factor for your group, ask when you book rather than relying on the star rating.
