Gorgeous course. Hole 10 is amazing and the 10/11 sequence is one of the best two holes I've played. Conditions were very good. Views were amazing. It's a challenging and fair course. Lots of longer par 4s, well placed traps. Really fun round. I was at a scramble with lunch and dinner provided and the food was good too. Wonderful experience.

My favorite all-time golf course. One of the most beautiful and Southern California. Wonderful pro shop, nice greens, driving range is well kept.

The views at Sandpiper are incredible — oceanfront holes and scenery that feels world-class. That’s the only reason to play here. Everything else is a letdown. • No range balls. Not because they don’t have a range, but because they don’t bother collecting them often enough. Show up ready to warm up and you’ll likely find none available. • Cart situation is sloppy. Availability isn’t guaranteed, and staff don’t seem to care. • No urgency anywhere. The whole operation moves at its own slow pace with no sense of service. Bottom line: the views deserve five stars, but the actual golf experience doesn’t come close.

First time I played there today, and it became one of my favorite course. The views are amazing, course is well maintained, and all the greens are really challenging. I highly recommend this course for ocean side views and challenge on the course

My fiancé and I traveled out to Santa Barbara from Florida to site see and play this course. We were soooo excited about this playing here. I booked a "non resident rate" for (2) players at $260 for like 12:45, it happened to be raining terribly that week, I called the day before our tee time to ASK if we could get it moved to the following day for the same time or after specifically BECAUSE of the rate ( it was supposed to be little to no rain so we could sneak it in. ) Guy on the phone said no problem, and asked if we could do 0830.. which wasn't a problem for us, earlier the better.. Arrived at the course~~they charged me 490.00$ to play. I explained the situation and all they said is it is the non resident rate for the morning, and the guy wasn't budging, or cared that I asked to move this tee time but not for the morning but was asked if this was okay. After my loan was approved...They THEN paired us up on the course ( I know this is fairly standard, but I asked not to, as this was a special trip and we wanted to spend time on what is claimed to be this beautiful course together ( we just got engaged the week before so wanted ti try and keep it us)... Wouldn't let us.. Okay no problem... HA..2 groups behind us is just (2) folks not paired up playing... An overall terrible experience from us here ~ But from the cost doubling on me, the driving range not being open, having to pair up with strangers, the course being nothing but mud (Unfortunately nothing we could do about the weather, and we did still chose to play.) But the experience here was a big let down. Regarding the actual course ~ I'm sure the place is absolutely stunning when the weather is nice. The greens were in great shape, fairways were good ~ except the drainage areas, and some fairly fun and challenging holes on the back 9.
