Set amid rolling coastal terrain and mature woodland, our course offers a unique blend of natural beauty and strategic design, making it one of the most rewarding golfing experiences in the region. With tranquil surroundings and a warm welcome awaiting every visitor, it’s the perfect destination for both members and guests alike.
Founded in 1900, Shanklin & Sandown Golf Club is proud to be celebrating its 125th anniversary—marking over a century of rich heritage and exceptional golf. The layout bears the unmistakable influence of legendary course architects James Braid and J.F.

Their legacy is reflected in every carefully crafted hole, blending seamlessly with the island’s natural contours.
The course measures 5,984 yards (from the white tees), par 70 for men and 5,426 yards, par 72 for ladies and is a challenging and enjoyable test for any level of golfer. The superb drainage makes play possible for 52 weeks of the year.
