Sandpiper Golf Club in Goleta is widely regarded as one of the finest public courses on California's Central Coast — a dramatic oceanside layout that hugs the bluffs above the Pacific near Santa Barbara. The course plays along and above the coastline with ocean views from virtually every hole, dramatic clifftop tee shots, and the Pacific breezes that make every round a unique wind challenge. Sandpiper is routinely ranked among the top 100 public courses in America, and for many golfers it represents a bucket-list California round. The backdrop of the Channel Islands on a clear day elevates it to world-class scenic status.
Sandpiper Golf Club opened in 1972 and was designed by William F. Bell, son of the prolific California architect William P. Bell. The course was routed along the Gaviota coast bluffs to maximize ocean exposure, and has maintained its reputation as the Central Coast's premier public golf experience for over five decades. Several holes along the 6th-through-9th stretch run directly above the Pacific cliffs.
