PRACTICE RANGE Experience I went to hit some balls today and was very disappointed with the quality of the hitting area. At just over 25 cents per ball ($16 for a large bucket, 60 balls) I felt the value was not there. The two practice greens rolled really well, however, there were some very strange small black rocks around the greens which made chipping a challenge. I wanted to share some feedback from this morning that I think is worth addressing. I checked the website before leaving the house and saw plenty of available tee times for a group of four starting at 8:30, so we made the trip out. Upon arrival, we were informed there was a frost delay and that the earliest we could tee off would be around 10am. What made this difficult to understand, however, was that while we were being given this news, the grounds crew was actively mowing the practice green just outside the golf shop window. There was no visible frost anywhere on the course. I fully understand why frost delays exist — protecting the turf is important — but the whole premise of a frost delay is to prevent exactly the kind of activity that was happening right in front of us. A couple of straightforward improvements would make a real difference: 1. Remove affected tee times from the website during a delay. When golfers can see open slots online, they assume those times are available. Leaving them up when they're not causes unnecessary trips and frustration. This is an easy fix. 2. Be mindful of what's visible to customers during a delay. Having the crew out mowing right in front of the golf shop, while golfers are being turned away, undermines the explanation being given at the counter. I'm a local golfer and would genuinely like to play this course more regularly. Unfortunately, this isn't the first time I've seen situations where golfers have been turned away, and it creates the impression that the course isn't particularly eager for the business. I don't think that's the intention, and I hope this feedback is taken in the constructive spirit it's intended.

The course was in mediocre shape. Most of the. Fairways had significant brown spots or dirt. Some of the greens were spotty. All of this would have been acceptable if the greens fees had been more reasonable. You can play significantly better courses for much less than $120.00 per round.

What a fantastic experience at Sandpines Golf Links! The new ownership has done an outstanding job investing in meaningful upgrades while staying true to the original vision and integrity of the course design. It’s clear they have a deep respect for what makes Sandpines special, and the improvements enhance the experience without taking away from the character of the course. The course conditions were excellent, and the attention to detail throughout the property was evident. Every hole showcases the unique links-style layout and natural beauty that Sandpines is known for. The Pro Shop staff were welcoming, knowledgeable, and genuinely committed to providing great customer service. A special thank you to Head Golf Professional Michael Cattani, who was friendly, professional, and clearly passionate about both the game and the guest experience. If you’re looking for one of the best golf experiences on the Oregon Coast, Sandpines is absolutely worth the trip. I look forward to returning soon!

Had such a great time here! The course was absolutely beautiful, and the carts were super cute and surprisingly comfortable. Everything was well-maintained, and the overall experience was fantastic. I would definitely come back again! The customer service deserves an 100/10. I lost a ring on the course and didn't realize it until after the course had already closed. I left my name and phone number, hoping for the best. Not only did they find my ring, but they contacted me right away and even offered to ship it back to me. I was so impressed by how kind, helpful, and responsive everyone was. Truly above-and-beyond service. Thank you for turning what could have been a stressful situation into such a positive experience!

I recently held a tournament at Sandpines and I’m can’t enough good things about the course and how helpful Michael and the staff were. The course is in fantastic shape. The greens are running true, and it’s a beautiful spot. We showed up and the carts were set up with names and hole locations, so it was really easy for my whole group of 36 to get the day running smoothly. The cart gal Jamie was great and took care of us all day, the new bar was a great way to end the day as well! I highly recommend them for a tournament, or just a fantastic day on the coast for a great round of golf! We hope to be back next year and I’ll definitely be back again as soon as I can make it!! 5 stars all around for Michael and Sandpines Golf Links!!
