"March 12, 2024 Update: What a difference the rain has made! The course is crazy good right now - one of the best tracks to play this year on the Central Coast! It’s like a US Open course with the rough right now, but I’m sure they will get to cutting it down soon. Definitely a special treat right now! As of Oct 2022 Sandpiper is in near worst shape I’ve seen in past 20 years. Dirt lies mixed in both fairways and rough, as well as mud spots everywhere on the course! Greens are good, fast and true, but what a huge disappointment. Hope they get control of things over there as the price they charge makes you feel ripped off. It’s like any other muni course you’d play with faster greens and of course the scenery and natural beauty of the mountains and ocean can’t be beat, in this area. Be prepared and set your expansions accordingly!"

"Always love coming to this course...truly unique golf experience that very few courses have. It would be so much better if the pace of play was controlled. The golf carts have GPS, a pace of play clock would help if no one else is going to try a keep pace manageable. Tee'd off at 1:20 and finished in the dark at 6:30 rushing the last 3 holes."

"Loved this place, had an absolute blast. Course in great shape in Feb. Great mix of holes with different elevation changes. Stunning views. Staff were all super friendly. Can’t wait to come back some day."

"Stunning ocean views, reminiscent of the Pebble Beach and Torrey Pines golf courses. The Cypress trees are artfully trimmed and add to the beauty of the course. The sand traps could use some work however, since it appears they're more dirt than sand. The back nine are very hilly and quite a workout if you're walking. Fortunately we had a cart, but 2 in our group didn't and they were exhausted. It costs $180 a round, but if you're a resident in the tri-county area (Ventura, Santa Barabara and San Luis Obispo counties) then it's only $80. They have a well stocked drink cart that comes around the course and the employees are friendly. Plenty of free parking."
