Guidelines

Welcome to Sandy Lodge Golf Club. These notes have been prepared to give you some background information about Sandy Lodge Golf Club. The Club welcomes guests, and we hope that you have an enjoyable day with us.

Access & Parking

Sandy Lodge Golf Club is located on the Moor Park Estate.   Upon entering the estate, you should approach the safety barrier which will automatically open.    We kindly ask guests to use the Visitors car park located on Sandy Lodge Lane and not park in front of the Clubhouse.  Please do not enter the Visitors car park via the Goods/Deliveries entrance.  

Once parked, please make your way towards the Clubhouse and check into the Golf Shop where directions and further instructions will be provided.

Course

We would ask that trolleys and buggies are not taken into the thick rough, or between greenside bunkers and the green.

Golf Clubs

Please secure your clubs in your vehicles after golf. Golf clubs are not permitted in the clubhouse. No trolleys or bags should be placed in the terrace area.

Practice Areas

Guests are permitted access to the practice facilities 30 minutes before your allocated tee time. When using the short game area, please ensure you only hit a maximum of five shots from the permitted area.

We would request that practice balls aren’t used on the short game area.

The pace of play

Sandy Lodge Golf Club has adopted ‘Ready Golf’ philosophy. The principles of Ready Golf are:

• No honour, except in match play – the first player ready plays!
• Players should play their own ball before helping others look for their lost ball.
• When not playing your shot, you should be preparing to play.

Dress Code

Sandy Lodge Golf Club is a traditional, but welcoming Private Members Club, and we would ask that the following standards are observed.
