About Sandy Lane Golf

Sandy Lane has three courses. The Old Nine, opened in 1961, is a 3,345-yard par 36 that meanders through the estate. Tom Fazio designed the 7,060-yard, par-72 Country Club course, which hosted the 2006 World Golf Championships World Cup, and The Green Monkey, a 7,343-yard par 72 carved out of an old limestone quarry, which is an exclusive privilege of resort guests. Caddies are mandatory, and tee times are booked through the golf reservations team.
