Sandhurst: Golf at Sandhurst Club

Sandhurst is a fitting destination for guests who want to make golf the focus of their stay. Sandhurst Club is home to the Champions Course and the North Course. For a stay that includes a round of golf, you can compare the two courses and their described features, giving your search for a hotel in Sandhurst a concrete reason for travel. They differ both in their design and in the details of each course.

Two courses with a shared design

Both courses were designed by Peter Thomson AO, CBE, five-time winner of The Open Championship, and the Thomson and Perrett design team. This shared design history connects the Champions Course and North Course, while their stated features differ. At the Champions Course, the dedication plaques near the tees are a central feature; at the North Course, they are the Wall and the Burn. This gives you a concrete basis for comparison: are you more interested in the connection between a hole’s name and a former champion, or in features around the green and fairway? You can use this specific question to guide your choice of course.

Dedication plaques at the Champions Course

The Champions Course has a sandbelt-style design. Near each tee is a plaque dedicated to the skills and qualities of the former champion after whom the hole is named. The hole name and dedication are therefore linked: each plaque refers to the namesake of that particular hole. For guests interested not only in playing but also in the naming and design of the holes, this connection is a feature in its own right. The recurring link gives the hole names a connection to individual former champions and the qualities they are commemorated for.

Features of the North Course

At the North Course, the Wall surrounds the third green. The Burn crosses the ninth fairway. These two features are located in different parts of the course: the Wall is around the third green, and the Burn crosses the ninth fairway. These specific reference points help distinguish the features along the numbered holes. Compared with the Champions Course, the North Course has a different focus: the Champions Course highlights the dedications near the tees, while the North Course is described through two individual features around a green and a fairway.

Plan your visit and tee times

Visitors can play one of the two Sandhurst Club courses from Sunday to Friday. Tee times can be booked online. If you are planning a specific day of play, check the club’s visitor information and match the date to your travel dates. You can then book a tee time online. This lets you plan around two specific points: your visit day within the stated days of the week and the tee time for your chosen course.

Hotels in Sandhurst for a golf stay

If visiting one of the two courses is the reason for your trip, you can choose Sandhurst as your hotel search destination and plan your search around your travel dates. The choice between the Champions Course and the North Course gives your trip a clear focus: dedication plaques and hole names on one hand, the Wall and the Burn on the other. This keeps your visit to the club as the concrete focal point of your stay in Sandhurst.
