Brief Description of the Golf Course and/or Club

What most golfers talk about after they play Sand Barrens is the unique personality of our layout with more than 100 acres of sand, in our bunkers and sweeping waste areas.

These sandy stretches, set against luxuriant fairways that could almost be greens, are a dazzling eye-catcher that makes you yearn to grab a club. We offer a remarkable target experience that you will have a tough time finding elsewhere. “All you can see from the tee boxes at times are bunkers and waste areas,” says Jim Asher, Director of outside services at Sand Barrens. “But the fairways are very generous, and the traps shouldn’t be difficult to avoid.”

And there are five sets of tee boxes in order to give every player a chance to feel comfortable at the Sand Barrens.
