"It's a unique, first-class resort layout that's the closest thing you'll find to a desert course in this part of the country and (Dana) Fry managed to pull it off without creating a course that feels too gimmicky." - Joe Logan, Philadelphia Inquirer

The sandy stretches, set against luxuriant fairways that could almost be greens, are a dazzling eye-catcher that makes you yearn to grab a club. Sand Barrens offers a remarkable target experience that you will have a tough time finding elsewhere. "All you can see from the tee boxes at times are bunkers and waste areas," says Jim Asher, marketing director of the Sand Barrens. But the fairways are very generous, and the traps shouldn't be difficult to avoid.""

All this golfing excitement came to be when the lead designer on our 27 holes, Dana Fry of Hurdzan/Fry, discovered a layer of sand while trees were being cleared for fairways in the winter of 1996. A more traditional course had been in the works on this site lined with evergreens and oaks. But suddenly Fry had a new idea. The result was Sand Barrens and its dramatic bunkers and undulating greens. To ensure outstanding conditions, even the rough was sodded. A premium blend of bentgrasses adorns the tees and greens and the rolling fairways.
