Golf Course Review Sandpiper Golf Club Goleta California

Reviewed by: rferriss, San Diego

Played Sandpiper for the first time on Friday morning, April 19th. Was one of several single walk-ons looking to get out before everybody else.

The staff was very accommodating in getting us out in whatever manner we wished. A single opted to follow us.

Round was played in 3:10. I paired up with a local and we were the first off. Definitely an advantage to have a local on a course you have never played! The morning was foggy/drizzly with virtually no wind. My playing partner indicated that this is a whole different course when it is sunny and/or windy.

Even with morning mist on the greens, they were running pretty quick, but true. I couldn’t blame green conditions for my missed putts! Being above the hole (any hole) on this course will leave you with a very delicate putt. The course in general was in great shape! The views are spectacular, even with the morning fog. There are 5 or 6 holes that run right along the bluffs over the ocean, with the signature Par 3 11th hole playing to a green that essentially sits right above the beach.

Overall a very satisfying experience and I can’t wait to get back and give it another go!
