“ I love the Cobb salad with grilled chicken and ranch dressing with sweet potato fries. It is literally my favorite meal - this combo is just one you can't beat. I love summer then you are able to sit outside and have views of the golf course. It is perfect at sunset. Service is always good. The staff is always so nice and I personally like sitting at the bar because the bartenders are always making super fun drinks because they always have the best drink specials. THEIR BREAKFAST TOO ; is so delicious!! ”
“ Had my first experience at Sandtrap the other night! I'm part of a Facebook group called Merrimack Valley Eats and went there to post for some suggestions for a good Tuesday trivia night in the area - the suggestions were overwhelmingly leaning towards Merrimack Valley Golf Club! The trivia host himself, Mike, was one of the people to suggest we go there. Once we got there, I was able to identify Mike and said hi as he handed us our trivia papers. He was great on the mic, dry sense of humor and moved a good pace with the trivia! We ended up coming in 1st place out of 4 or 5 teams! It's a relatively small inside space with the most beautiful patio looking out onto the course which has some of the best sunsets in the MV area! Our server was Ian who was very cool, laid back, and fit the vibe of the place. I work in the service industry myself and respect the hell out of a good server, he knew his stuff, our food came out right even with a few modifications on my friends entree. I highly suggest the steak tips and start with the sweet potato fries with Jalapeño aioli as an app for the table! THEYRE SO GOOD. The golf course itself is beautiful and upstairs from sandtrap is another restaurant/bar called "Parlay" - beautifully decorated, so much sunlight coming through, definitely a place I'd love to check out in the future! If you're looking to switch up your Tuesday night routine or just looking for a fun date spot, check out Sandtrap and don't forget to step outside for the beautiful views! ”
“ Went to the Sand Trap today for lunch and sat outside on the patio. Beautiful vista overlooking the golf course. I had the baked haddock. Was so fresh and delicious! ”
“ I believe our server was Ramon and he was absolutely amazing great service the was above and beyond , food was absolutely amazing the only down fall I was eating my fried haddock Sammy and was enjoying it and went in for the pickle on the side and found a hair ! I didn't wanna cause a fuss but Ramon handled it with excellent care and was so nice we will be back ! Hopefully no hair next time !!! ”
“ Yummy! Beautiful atmosphere food is really flavorful. We usually eat outside so we can enjoy looking at the beautiful grounds. The meals are plentiful and although it's a smaller menu the food is great. Not overpriced very affordable ”
“ I ordered take out tonight and enjoyed every single thing we got! Everyone I spoke to was very nice, especially the woman who took my order. She was patient and answered all my questions. I ordered a couple of apps and an entree; the buffalo wings were perfect, calamari was great and the baked haddock was very good as well, even the mixed vegetables that came with it were great. I also had a lemon drop while I waited for my order and that was great as well. Will definitely visit again! ”
“ They've gone through a total renovation: decor/theme, menu, everything. We've been twice since it reopened and both times have thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Great food, service and atmosphere. ”
