Played the Piper to Bay 9's.  

Tees - Good

Fairways - Good to very good.

Rough - Good.  Some areas have some tree root issues.  Reasonable height.  

Bunkers - Could use more sand.  More of a dirt than sand.  Not bad to hit out of and most of them were raked.  We did have some rain over the past few days which may be a contributor.

Greens - Great coverage but a little high.  Rolled well.  Probably didn't cut due to the recent rain.  Running around 8 to 8.5 on the Stimp.

Cart Paths - Exciting!  Some real tree root problems here!  

This was probably the greenest I've seen Sandpiper Bay in a number of years.  Visually, especially from the tree, it looks fantastic.  The bunkers may bother some, the cart paths do need some patching/replacing, but if you're OK with that, Sandpiper's in really good condition right now.

I like SB but there are a lot of exposed tree roots on the course.  Not sure what they could do about it.

Thanks again @polekat914 for reporting!

IMHO, SB represents a great value and I wouldn't hesitate to be back there!

As long as i remember, the greens has always been slow at SB. Carth paths has a lot of bumps since many years. But i return to play SB almost each year. This course is very special. Thanks for your report.
