the many varieties of vacation homes, condos, or suites. All
in all, Sand Hollow Resort offers over 150 units that sleep
from one to 25 guests. The vacation homes that include
three, four, and five bedroom accommodations are an ideal
getaway for friends and families of any size. The vacation
condos and suites, ranging in size from one to six bed-
rooms, have all of the amenities of home—and then some.
The Condos and Suites overlook the front nine of the
Championship Course and include spacious accommoda-
tions, large outdoor patio or balcony, oversize soaking tubs,
gas fireplaces, LCD flat-panel TVs, cable programming, and
free Wi-Fi. The one-bedroom condo featured tons of room, Championship Course Hole #12
large windows and a balcony for the stunning golf course
and landscape views, a full kitchen and family room, as well
as a spacious bedroom suite.
Then we come to the play side. As in golf. Since being
unveiled just over ten years ago as an impressive must-play
golf course, Sand Hollow has evolved—big time. There’s
the 18-hole Championship Course, the 9-hole par 36 Links
Course and a 9-hole par-3 course, the Wee Course. The
18-hole Championship Course is rated in the top 100 resort
courses by GolfWeek. Add in the 9-hole Links Course and
the Wee Course, and the golf options will fit everyone’s
game as well. There’s also a spacious practice facility and a
stunning clubhouse boasting wrap around views (complete
with the Sand Hollow Grille) to ensure all of your golf needs
are met.
The highlights on the Championship Course are plenti-
ful. But we’ll highlight the 12th, 13th and 14th holes. These Championship Course Hole #13
are three of the best holes players will take on anywhere.
All three provide a stiff challenge (complete with daunting
forced carries) and beautiful surroundings. Fairways and
greens here are located along cliffs that in some instances
drop 100 feet. These are just three of the 18 intriguing holes
that make up the championship course. The Links course
has a definite Scottish type feel to it and adds another
touch of flavor to the resort. Before dinner one evening we
squeezed in a round at the Wee Course, great for some short
game contests!
The clubhouse itself is stunning, boasting wraparound win-
dows and balcony with ample room for dining and resting.
Breakfast, lunch, or dinner—all are amazing. We enjoyed
each during out stay, but the dinners are what we will
remember most. Excellent service—thank you Mike and
Abby—made for a fantastic evening. We were also pleas- Championship Course Hole #15
