What the club says: Our challenging 6232, yard par 70 course is maintained to the very highest standards, with tees and greens built to USGA specifications. Opened in 1993, the course has been cleverly designed with two distinct and contrasting nine holes; an outward nine, set in parkland with lakes, water hazards and dog-legs and a stunning 'links style' inward nine with sand banks, broom and a host of challenges. Sand Martins is the perfect risk and reward golf course, offering a challenge to golfers of all levels.

The back nine is truly unique among inland golf courses, with high rivetted bunkers and hazards lurking on every hole offering a good test of golf; where a par on the 13th will feel like a birdie, and where Deception, the 15th with a ravine across the fairway, really does live up to its name!

Great course. Very well looked after Lovely staff in pro shop and bar. Very friendly and welcoming. Unfortunately members very unfriendly. Old school golf club snobbery. Won’t be going back.

2 very different 9s of very high standards.
Greens are great all year round.
Definitely one to tick off the list.

Oversubscribed

I’ve played here several times now, and I won’t be playing here anymore. I have played at the weekend, mid week, early in the day, and later in the day, every time i get stuck behind several groups with several others immediately behind. Too painful

Second time round here. Excellent course in good condition though greens could have been a little more receptive in terms of shots in. But otherwise excellent and the 2 nines are a real contrast, the front being parkland whilst the bank is more inland linksy. Makes it very interesting. Warm welcome in the pro-shop too. Will be back to play again in due course.

The layout of the course can be seen as playing two different 9's. The course was in tremendous condition and you can clearly see a lot of effort has been put in to manicure the course. First and last three holes can make or break your round! The practice facilities are fantastic and cater for all elements of your game.

First time round here. Paid £30 for twilight on Bank Hol which was an absolute steal. Really interesting course with contrast between front (parkland) and back (heathland) 9's. Course was in great condition on both including excellent and comparatively quick greens. Only thing which could have been a bit better was if they had a bit more stop on shots in but assuming kept firm due to recent rubbish weather. Course must drain well though. Water and other hazards present on a few holes and most of them make you think in some way as you go round. Very friendly in both pro shop and bar pre and post round. Can't comment on food as just missed final orders post round but decent pint of Seafarers sitting on the patio. Can't wait to play it again.
