We love hearing about the adventures our guests enjoy while staying at Pathfinder Agassis and this one’s for all the golf lovers out there! This blog post was written by Shannon G. fromcampthatsite.com, who took a short drive to explore the scenic Sandpiper Golf Course near Pathfinder Agassiz. Here’s her review.
Guest Post by Shannon G. at Sandpiper Golf Course
Sandpiper golf course has long been on my list of courses to play so staying at Pathfinder Agassiz provides the perfect opportunity, being only a 12-minute drive away.
Sandpiper is a par 72 course located in Harrison Mills along the mighty Fraser River. This location makes the course lush and beautiful to play with glorious views of the river and/or mountains from every hole. It even has an active airstrip running along the course (yes you read that right).
The course is known for it’s challenging greens, as reinforced by the Starter who warned us that our putting will get a good workout. It is a relatively flat course making it walkable on a cool day, but there are carts for those who prefer.
The course is well maintained, fun (checkout the BigFoot sandbunkers on the 15th hole!) and its scenery makes it easy to enjoy your good shots and to not worry about your bad ones.
We played a round on an overcast Wednesday in June, when it was not busy; we played as a twosome without having to wait much on any hole nor were we pressured from behind. Of course, that may be different on a busier day, but Sandpiper appears to leave adequate space between tee-off times.
Once we completed our round, we enjoyed a beverage and appetizer on their deck and enjoyed some more of the view while reviewing our round. We followed that with a quick walk through their grounds which feature bald eagles at some times of the year.
It’s worth playing golf at Sandpiper when you get a chance!
