Absolute worst experience here. We came out to play 18 holes as a foursome at The Nest today, tee time was 11:10 am. We aren’t the best players but we like to have a good time and are respectful of others playing and will move along if we are taking too long. We were the only other people playing when we first got here. After passing the 3rd hole, a guy working here stopped us and said we need to move along because there was a twosome behind us .. the course was empty and the only people playing were us, a twosome a ways behind us and a foursome that started on the back 9. We said no problem and that we wouldn’t hold them up. He drove up to us again at the 8th hole and said we need to move, and asked if we planned on playing all 18 holes and asked if we planned to use the restroom or get water at the 9th hole because we needed to move. He then drove up to us again, harassing us and got out of the golf cart to watch us play at the 9th hole. You’d think we had a line of people behind us at this point but the twosome people didn’t care about us and he rushed us so much that we ended up waiting on the foursome that started on the back 9. He rushed the other foursome ahead of us and told them that we were in a rush and that they needed to move. Completely ruined the experience for us and it’s still empty here.

If you want to spend $260 to be harassed by a grumpy old man who takes his ranger job too seriously then this is the place for you. We had an 11:10 am tee time and there was a twosome behind us, we spoke to them and let them know if we’re going too slow to pass, they told us no worries and no rush. We had a threesome in front of us that was moving along. Other than us and the two other groups, the golf course was completely empty (not exaggerating). For some reason, the angry old man they have working there felt the need to come up to us every 10 minutes to tell us we need to play faster. Finally, after the 5th time of him coming up to us, I asked what the rush is for when no one is on the golf course. He proceeded to tell me that it’s his job to make sure everyone is playing quickly and that IF it were busier our pace wouldn’t work. I explained that we came to a par 3 golf course, not in season, at a slow time so that we could take our time, especially with two of us being newer golfers. At this point I had no idea what to even say, it was the most bizarre experience. I’m looking around at an empty golf course and trying to wrap my head around why this guy is even following us and the other groups around. He would not leave us alone and would not give any real explanation so finally went and spoke to the man at the desk inside (who was very nice) and said he would speak to him. We played the last 6 holes in peace and went on our way.

If you’re looking for a top-tier short game experience in Palm Beach Gardens, The Nest Par 3 at Sandhill Crane is an absolute winner. It was the perfect spot to take my little guy for a fun, low-pressure round. It’s a great track for kids and beginners but also offered varying levels of challenges that made it fun for me as well. The course overall was in good shape, they have a driving range available for warm up before your round as well. We’ll definitely be back!

6/13/2026. If I could give zero stars I would. I've played many public golf courses from Miami to Vero over the last 40 years and I could honestly say the Sandhill Crane Golf Club is the absolute worse I've ever played for the price they charge of $116, especially in June. The course condition is so poor that I would be ashamed to charge this kind of money. The City of Palm Beach Gardens should be ashamed of themselves. Golfer's save your money and go elsewhere as this place is truly a dog track!

My high school had their 40th reunion. Here it was a blastWe had such a great time. The food was amazing. Playing golf was a lot of fun. The bartender's top notch
