What the club says: Set in beautiful rolling countryside and boasting panoramic sea views, Sharpley Golf course is an absolute pleasure to play - it is challenging Par 71 and has many unusual water features and established greens. The course has been designed with input from three top architects and shaped using an experienced team, over a number years and therefore has an established feel with greens built to USGA standards. The Head Greenkeeper Richard Hood boasts over 25 years of experince and is committed to Sharpley. An extensive drainage network built into the course boasts the newest technology, meaning whatever the weather, the course will be in the condition golfers expect, day to day, season to season.

Great course
One of my favourites, probably just on the edge of playable today, but given the rain and the fact that hardly any other courses were open I'm not going to complain. Always a great place to play golf.Reviewer Rating

Challenging course, great food
We've played this course a few times now and it weathers well and is an interesting and challenging layout. Greens were in good condition and ran well, fairways were damp in places but very playable. I've seen the course in better nick but it's certainly worth what they charge. Food and drinks in the clubhouse are always lovely and the staff there are really helpful and attentive. Will always be a course we will visit if playing in the area.Reviewer Rating

Good course
If you like fast, slopey greens with challenging pins then this is the place to be! Not the longest but plenty hazards to make you think about your game ??Reviewer Rating

Fantastic course
As ever, Sharpley never fails to deliver. Course in great condition, greens excellent, and, as usual very tricky, so the odd 3 putt is to be expected. Love this course, and always fun to play.Reviewer Rating

At last
Had to cancel previous visit just as covid started so was looking forward to finally playing the course, enjoyed the day as it was fairly sunny. The greens at times were a bit disappointing but it was September so maybe to be expected, the course markers could be better sited and more of them too.Reviewer Rating
