About
Sandhill Golf Club, located in Barnsley, is a golf club that offers a warm and friendly welcome to both members and visitors. Established in 1993, the parkland course measures 6209 yards from the White tees (par 71), 5959 yards from the Yellow tees (par 71), and 5562 yards from the Red tees.
The club was founded by Herbert and Valerie Wistow, who decided to transform their land into a golf course after successfully farming it for over 30 years. With determination and hard work, they achieved their goal and created a course that is now enjoyed by all.
Sandhill Golf Club prides itself on being inclusive and offers a straightforward joining process. Prospective members can download the membership application form from the club's website and return it to the club shop. Upon joining, members can expect a warm welcome from the owners, staff, and fellow members, who will go out of their way to make them feel at home and integrated into the club.
Members have the opportunity to participate in weekly competitions as well as prestigious competitions such as the club championship. However, if members simply want to enjoy the social benefits of belonging to the club, competitions are optional. The club also boasts well-organised sections, including the Rabbit and Senior sections, which hold weekly meetups and take part in interclub competitions. This provides an excellent opportunity to meet new people, make friends, and play other courses at discounted rates.
As a family-run business, Sandhill Golf Club encourages family involvement. Members are invited to bring their families to events such as Captains Day and regular race nights. Additionally, the club hosts events like Around the World, where members are encouraged to invite non-golfers to join in the fun and enjoy a lively party afterward.
The club's junior section is thriving, with 13 new members this year. Sandhill Golf Club is dedicated to nurturing the future of the sport and organises coaching sessions and weekly competitions for juniors. Parents are welcome to accompany their children on the course as they develop and hone their golfing skills. If you're under 18 and interested in taking up golf, the club encourages you to get in touch.
