Frequently Asked Questions

How can I get a tee time at Old Sandwich Golf Club if I'm not a member?

Old Sandwich is a private club, so playing here requires an invitation from a member. Your best bet is to network within your golf circles or reach out to a member you might know; it's truly a privilege to experience this place. Don't expect to call up and book a public tee time - that's just not how it works here.

What's the most distinctive feature of the Coore & Crenshaw design at Old Sandwich, and how challenging is it?

The course truly embraces its natural New England sandy terrain, making for firm, fast conditions that demand thoughtful shot-making, not just brute strength. You'll find a brilliant blend of strategic bunkering and subtle green complexes that reward creativity and a sharp short game. It's a proper test, but always fair and incredibly fun.

When is the ideal time of year to play Old Sandwich Golf Club for the best experience?

We highly recommend visiting in the fall, typically late September through October, when the New England foliage is spectacular and the air is crisp. The course conditions are usually at their peak then, offering firm and fast play that truly showcases Coore & Crenshaw's vision. Spring can also be lovely, but fall just hits different here.

What kind of overall golf experience should I expect at Old Sandwich - is it a quick round or a more leisurely day?

Old Sandwich is designed for pure golf enjoyment, so expect a focused but unhurried pace. The club prioritizes the walking game, and with a caddie, you'll find yourself immersed in the round, appreciating every shot and the natural beauty. It's not a rush-through-it kind of place; savor the walk and the company.

Does Old Sandwich have a caddie program, and is it essential for a first-time visitor?

Yes, Old Sandwich has an excellent caddie program, and we absolutely recommend taking one, especially on your first visit. Their local knowledge of the subtle breaks on the greens and optimal lines off the tee is invaluable. A good caddie truly enhances the experience, helping you navigate the course's nuances and appreciate its genius.
