Sandstone Country Club

Frequently Asked Questions

When is the absolute best time of year to play Sandstone Country Club?

We've found that late spring, typically April and May, or early fall, September through October, offers the most perfect conditions at Sandstone. You'll avoid the intense summer heat and the occasional chill of winter, enjoying comfortable temperatures and consistently pristine course maintenance. This is when the course truly shines, with vibrant landscaping and firm, fast greens.

What's the biggest challenge golfers face at Sandstone, and how should I prepare?

The biggest challenge at Sandstone comes from its dramatic elevation changes, particularly on the back nine, and the signature 'Sandstone Bunkers' that are more like natural rock formations than typical sand traps. You'll need to be precise with your club selection, especially on approach shots to elevated greens, and learn to play out of those deep, sculpted hazards. We recommend a practice session on your short game before tackling this course.

Is Sandstone Country Club worth the green fee, and what should I expect to pay?

Absolutely, Sandstone is an investment in a memorable golf experience, not just a round. You're paying for immaculate conditions, exceptional service, and truly unique desert-mountain views that are hard to find elsewhere. Expect green fees to range from $250-$400, depending on the season and time of day, but keep an eye out for twilight rates which can offer a bit of a break.

What's the experience like at Sandstone beyond the golf course itself?

The overall experience at Sandstone is top-notch. Their practice facilities are expansive, featuring a multi-tiered driving range and a fantastic short game area where you can really hone your wedges. Don't miss a meal at The Overlook Grill; their patio offers incredible views of the 18th green and the surrounding landscape, perfect for a post-round drink.

How difficult is it to secure a tee time at Sandstone Country Club as a non-member?

Getting a tee time at Sandstone as a non-member requires some planning, especially during peak season. We strongly recommend booking at least 4-6 weeks in advance, and even further out for weekend mornings. Weekday afternoons tend to be a bit more accessible, but don't count on walking up; this course is popular for a reason.
