I see a lot of great houses in Phenix City, AL. They all say they are within 10-15 miles of Benning. This is obviously just to Benning. How far is it to Sand Hill and How long is the drive/ Short-cuts?

I'm staying at a friends house there right now and it's only 25-35 minutes away depending on traffic and how fast your drive

It's not that far on the map but the drivers in this area, well to be polite, it can get crazy. I live in Midland(north of Benning) and it is usually 15-20min drive in. I've heard horror stories of the internet/cable packages available in Phenix City. Do some research into that if its important to you.If you were to drive in on I-185, Sand Hill is actually closer than main post and easier access. Good luck on the trail!

When you are leaving out of Phenix City, there is a gate just for Sand Hill. From the center of Phenix City to the heart of of Sand Hill is about a 15-20 minute drive. I actually lived in Fort Mitchell, AL in the Landings suburb. It is 7 minutes to airport gate and a total of 15 mins to Sand Hill.

It’s only about 25-30 minutes away, depending on where you live.
