Visitor Golf at Sweetwoods Golf Club

Visitors are welcome at Sweetwoods seven days a week

We are easy to find on the A264 (Colestock Road) in between East Grinstead and Tunbridge Wells. Please don’t find us by our postcode, because if entered into a sat nav or Google maps, it will incorrectly direct you to Edenbridge, some miles from where we are.

From the A264, follow the drive down past the second and third holes and then on through the first before arriving at the free car park. Check-in with the Pro Shop to let them know you’re here and book a locker if you require one. We have modern changing rooms with shower facilities in the Clubhouse.

In the Clubhouse we want all of our visitors and guests to feel comfortable, so please wear appropriate golf clothing and shoes. If you are in any way unsure of what might be appropriate, please give our Pro Shop a call on 01342 850 729 and they’ll only be too happy to advise. Spikes are not permitted in the Clubhouse.
