Beauchief Golf Course - Tee & Green

Beauchief Golf Course
Abbey Lane
Sheffield
S8 0DB

Set in the grounds of Beauchief Abbey, this scenic parkland course has plenty of variety.

At 5258 yards this par 67 course is not a particularly long course but requires your full attention from start to finish.

Buggy, trolley and club hire available from the pro shop which also has a wide range of golf equipment for sale.

Food and bar facilities available as well as free parking. Lessons available from a qualified P.G.A. Coach. Societies welcome by prior arrangement.

Beauchief is a meadowland course situated in the south west of Sheffield.

The course is managed by Sheffield International Venues Ltd.

For Men, there are 6 par 3 holes and one par 5, a length of 5469 yards giving a par of 67 and a Standard Scratch Score of 66.

For Ladies, 6 par 3 holes and 3 par 5, a total of 4903 yards, a par of 69 and SSS of 69.

There are views to the hills of the Peak District and Beauchief Abbey provides a major feature within the site.

A number of holes cross a stream which drains through the course and one par 3 (for Men) crosses a pond. There are trees both around and within the course.

The course is laid out in an "out-and-back" format - the 10th tee is at almost the furthest point from the clubhouse. This means that nine hole, or other part-course, rounds are not possible.

Work is underway to improve the drainage of the course. This does present some problems for golfers with numbers of "Ground Under Repair" areas and occasionally, when work is actually underway on a fairway, the temporary shortening of a hole to protect ground staff. Improvements are being made to holes 2, 17 and 18. Other work includes the relaying, or new provision, of buggy paths throughout the course and the continued improvement of the greens.

Whilst not considered to be a difficult course, because of its length, many players do find it hard to play to their handicap because some of the par 3's are demanding, several par 4's are testing and, for men, there is only one par 5. The key is to be accurate with approach shots and, whilst there aren't many bunkers, they are well positioned.

The course has a resident professional golfer.
