A PGA professional staff is standing by to provide private and group instructions. Electric carts, handcarts and clubs are available for rent.
Whether you are a full-time or part-time Santa Barbaran, a golf expert or a golf neophyte, you must experience this course at least once. The odds are good you'll be back. Why? The Sandpiper says "Santa Barbara" like the Courthouse and El Encanto, like Stearns Wharf and State Street, like hiking and surfing, like fabulous wines and ..well...great golf.
