Winter Golf at Sweetwoods

Visitors are welcome at Sweetwoods 7 days a week!

Winter Course and Fairway Mats

From Wednesday 11th November 2026, we’ll be moving to our Winter Course, and fairway mats will be required for all golfers until the end of March 2027.

Using mats helps protect the course during the colder months, when divots cannot recover in the firm, cold ground. It also helps preserve the fairways so they can recover well and be in better condition when the main playing season returns in spring.

Mats have made a remarkable difference to the course over the past two years, and we hope you’ll continue to enjoy your golf at Sweetwoods throughout the winter while helping us care for the course.

Fairway mats are available to hire for £7.50 from the Pro Shop when you check in. Alternatively, you can also buy one of the wonderful Spurk mats. They are especially popular with our members, with spikes that hold them firmly in the ground. Carry bags are also available to help keep your golf bag clean.

If you have any questions, please call the team on 01342 850729, option 1.

We look forward to welcoming you to Sweetwoods this Winter!

Getting Here & What to Expect

Your Sweetwoods experience begins the moment you arrive. We’re conveniently located on the A264 (Colestock Road), perfectly positioned between East Grinstead and Tunbridge Wells. For the smoothest journey, we recommend following directions via the A264 rather than using our postcode, as some sat navs may direct you incorrectly toward Edenbridge.

Once on site, enjoy the approach down our scenic drive, passing the second and third holes and then the first, before arriving at our free on-site car park. From there, pop into the Pro Shop to check in, say hello to the team, and arrange a locker if needed. Our clubhouse offers modern changing rooms with shower facilities, so you can freshen up before or after your round in comfort.

We want all visitors and guests to feel relaxed and welcome in the Clubhouse. Please wear appropriate golf attire and footwear during your visit. If you’re ever unsure, our friendly Pro Shop team will be happy to help — just give them a call on 01342 850 729. Please note that golf spikes are not permitted in the Clubhouse.

Arrive, unwind, and get ready to enjoy everything Sweetwoods has to offer.
