Classic layout

Course could be very nice if the fairways were watered and the greens mowed

Soggy conditions

This course is a reasonable layout for a Muni. I would not recommend playing after any significant rainfall as we experienced the night before. There is virtually no drainage because the course is primarily clay. Even the elevated areas are completely wet and difficult to play without getting splashed. I need to skip a hole to get around a foursome who were playing cart path only. Walked off after 8 holes and they suggested that I request that Golf Now provide a rain check/refund. Although the course was open for play it was virtually unplayable. The practice area is always closed around rain events as the area is totally submerged. Please advise about a refund.

A fun course!

Sanford’s a fun course to play. I enjoy the doglegs and the Ross small greens. Tricky trying to keep your chips from rolling off. 😂 Great value and friendly staff.

A good value if you want to work on your game. Don't miss a fairway as the course needs lots of repair

Love this course.

Well maintained. I love playing this course and it’s a great value! There’s no hot food though! Just 2 choices of refrigerated, pre-packaged sandwiches. Our crew was looking forward to some hot dogs at the turn, but left with only a cold turkey & cheese. ;)
