Nice course lots of straight long fairways. Lots of rules. Not explained well. Even after mentioning this was our first time golfing here. Won’t be golfing again definitely felt like we weren’t welcome here.

Allowing a group to have a 5:40 tee time, and then yelling at them to hurry up the entire time they golf hole 9 at 7:35 is greedy and terrible customer service. Maybe tell people when you close and need the carts in before they book a tee time that is going to be cutting it close and then you are screaming at me.. “the customer” that you need me to waste the rest of my game because you don’t know how to properly book golfers. I will never be golfing at this course again.

Played a 9 hole round at Sandy Hollow today for the first time in a couple of years. The course was on pretty good shape. The greens were true, but a bit firm. Sandy Hollow is a nice FP course that's not over challenging but has some nice holes and is a nice place to play for the money.

Played this course this past Saturday, November 1st, 2025. My group had booked a tee time for 1:30 pm to play 18 holes. When we got to the first tee box, the starter told us that we wouldn’t have a problem finishing 18 holes before carts needed to be back at 5:30 pm since the course was pretty open at the time. At 3:30 pm, we are at the turn and the same starter told us “There’s no way you finish 18 holes in time. Carts need to be back by 5:00 pm.” After that interaction, my group felt extremely pressured to play as fast as humanly possible to try to finish the course in time since we had each…

Nice course, but very long. Greens were very hard and fast, it's virtually impossible to hold any greens. With that said they rolled very true.

Beautiful day, busy Sunday. Had our second cart before we left the tee box. Good pace of play and greens were in great shape even though we haven't had any rain in over a week. Staff was friendly and helpful.

I love this golf course I lived on 20th Street East to walk on after closing and practice my putting. Had my first hustle on that course 2 me and my friend got big giant pool Nets and would scrape the bottom of the pond for golf balls and sell them on the back hole two golfers that like are quality of balls lmao and I remember you got chased out of there at night time one time we went swimming in the water hole before had all the chemicals in it and one of the guys came down at yelled at us and I took off running good times I love that course I'll never forget it.
