Sand Hills Golf & Country Club

Sand Hills overlooks Cooper Lake and is loaded with trees and water, but there are no bunkers on this course. Two holes stand out on the par 36 layout–the 270yard, par 4 No. 6 and the most difficult hole, the 220-yard par 3 No. 8. Hole 4 is the best birdie opportunity, a 470-yard par 5 that should definitely be reached in two if you’re hitting them well.

Two sets of tees allow for an 18-hole round. On the weekends, the course is open only to members between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m.

Getting there : From I-30, take Hwy. 50 north, then turn right on Maloy Road.
