About Sandy Pines Golf Club
Sandy Pines Golf Club in DeMotte, Indiana, is an 18-hole course reshaped through changes designed by architect Tim Nugent.
The layout avoids repetition, with each hole presenting a different look and test from the opening tee shot to the closing green. Course conditioning is overseen by grounds superintendent Cary Jeffries, whose ongoing work focuses on maintaining and improving the playing surfaces.
