Overview
Old Sandwich Golf Club may be the craftiest Coore-Crenshaw design yet built. Amidst its pines, scrub oaks, gnarly bunkers, chocolate drop mounds, wavy fescue and briar bushes are hints of Baltusrol, National Golf Links, Pine Valley, Pinehurst No 2 and Chicago Golf Club in its cross-bunkering, hazard placement and sandy waste areas. The greens are some of the most rolling of any Coore & Crenshaw design, seeded with a half-dozen bent varieties to give them an old-fashioned mottled appearance. Nobody does old-fashioned better than Coore & Crenshaw.

Review
“All around solid golf course start to finish. 5, 7, and 12 are standout holes...not many "wow" holes but no weak holes either. 7 is undeniably the signature hole with a downhill approach to a green surrounded almost 360 degrees by sand and a huge rock formation to the left accenting the green. Intricate and artful bunkering throughout w/ shaved fescue edging. Several greens are crowned w/ sharp fescue edging which flows well w/ the sharp edging of the bunkers. Layout variety suffers a bit w/ the majority of holes playing downhill as well as 2x as many par 4's "
