A formidable course with tricky but tameable greens
Alistair MacKenzie greens!!!! First time here but putting greens showed the way. Sand on all greens but embedded. Couldn't stop ball on greens. Green slick but readable.Reviewer Rating

Great course in great condition. Lots of different holes and various tee options which were open to visitors (Try the Tiger tees if you dare!). Greenkeepers were busy maintaining the course and you could see the benefits as all areas of the course were floorless. Nice welcome in the pro shop and bar also worth a note

Lovely course, well presented.
Have played here a few times over the past 15yrs. In years gone by it was almost unplayable due to the gorse, however that’s all been cut back in recent years and it’s now a tough but fair test of your golf. Pre round toast is and beer were excellent quality in a well presented clubhouse (with relaxed dress code to a point). The course itself was lovely, fairways were firm, 1st cut was fair and the rougher stuff was well kept, not many places to lose balls. The greens were true and the ball rolled well, they were quick but not overly so. At £90 a green fee it’s a bit on the expensive side but worth a visit once or twice a year.Reviewer Rating

This an expansive and excellently maintained golf course with slick and challenging greens. The course isn’t overly long (we played off black pots) and the shorter holes do get you thinking. There are a couple of blind shots into greens which golfers don’t generally welcome but they just seemed to add to the challenge. This course is a fair challenge and we played it on a relatively benign day. The staff were very welcoming and the clubhouse had recently been refurbished internally to a very high standard. All in all a thoroughly enjoyable experience.

Always thought Sand Moor gets overlooked due to the more 'known' courses locals (Moortown/Alwoodley) but it's a very good course and often half the price. We played just after a long down-poor and the course held up very well. Great varied mix of holes.Reviewer Rating

Impressive
We went as a group of 9 Saturday 28th. Expecting it to be wet, but was surprised to find it soft but not soggy. Food in the clubhouse was excellent value for money (especially the sausage & mash)Whilst we were waiting on the first tee the club captain came over and introduced himself to was and thanked us for choosing his course (a very nice touch) as we didn't T off until 2:15 we weren't really troubled by slow play either in front of us or behind us so kept our pace going throughout the whole 18 holes. The course itself was in very good condition it looked like The greenkeepers had removed a lot of the rough and shrubbery which seemed to open up the course a great deal. There are some very good holes on the course, in total it was a very good choice from our organiser.

Fantastic course, loved the scenary. The par 3s are very difficult here and the rough is punishing if it is found. I like starting with a par 5 it breaks you in gently. Some of the bunkers required a bit more sand but other than that this is a perfect place to play golf.

New to golf, played a few courses now here and abroad, I have to say this has been without a shadow of a doubt my favourite, I had actually had my best ever round here in terms of score as it suited my game. Love the par 3's here, pin positions were very good getting nicely rewarded for the risk. Stunning really love this place.
Only bad point I can find is they made me very hungry as the joint of meat had just gone out for the carvery - it looked like an M & S advert! Lots of people were arriving all dressed for evening meal when we left, so it is obviously a popular place to go and eat also. Nice to see - will most certainly be back.
Views will probably be very nice in the spring / early summer, before the leaves are fully out, the eccup reservoir run alongside this course but you would hardly know since the trees block the view, couple of places you can see it but before the leaves get thick you'd see down the whole of it i would think

We had the whole course more or less to ourselves the whole day. Really well kept and great views. A good challenge although not overly long. The par 3s are all beautiful.
A little expensive and I would slightly hesitate to play again especially with the class of the neighbouring courses in or around same price.
Certainly worth a visit and recommended.
