Would you believe this… Joanne McKevitt from Co. Down had a combination of amazing firsts this week when visiting Sandfield Pitch and Putt on Tuesday.
A first visit to Sandfield Pitch and Putt
The First time playing Pitch and Putt
The first hole played
And… A first ever Hole in One.
A series of amazing firsts we would all like to have.
The 1st Hole is proving a very popular opening hole for Holes in One with Joanne’s being the 7th of the season. A third of the 21 holes in one have been made on the hole. Check out all the seasons Holes in One by clicking here
Sandfield Pitch and Putt course opening times for July 2025 will be 7 days a week Monday to Sunday from 11am with the Last Start Time will be 8pm daily.
It was an ‘Ace Day in Sandfield today, Saturday 14th June, with 4 Hole in Ones being reported today.
A real Ace Day in Sandfield.
But that really does not tell the real story on quite an amazing day of Pitch and Putt action. Three of the Hole in Ones came from the same group with one player recording 2 of the Hole in Ones. Dessie McNern start his round with Aces on 1st and 3rd Holes. His brother, Mark, then finished the groups round off by getting an Ace himself on the 18th Hole. We certainly think there has never been 3 Hole in Ones in a round, but would also think that a player getting 2 Hole in Ones in the same round is a first also. In addition Marks Hole in One on the 18th take his ace tally to 3 this season following previous holes in one on 1st and 14th Holes. Well done to Dessie and Mark on their achievements. If that was not enough the Hole in Ones continued when Ashton Dixon aced the 9th Hole. Well done to Ashton.

Despite being one of the most difficult holes on the course Simon Kunding aces the 7th Hole and is the first hole in one on that hole since the 2023 season. Well done to Simon.
Don’t forget to let us know about any hole in ones or below Par scores this season. You can check out all the lowest scores and holes in one on our 2025 Leaderboard page by clicking here.
Hole in Ones are just like London Buses, you can wait a long time for one and the 2 or 3 come along straight after.
Monday saw one of our younger junior players ‘Orla Grey Byrne’ started the ball rolling with a wonderful Hole in One on the 18th Hole. This was quickly followed on Tuesday when one of our regular players Paul Wheelan aced the 1st Hole.
Just like London Buses we are now waiting for the next one to come along.

We were so please to be able to get the course Open for Saturday 5th April not just for all our Patrons but also as we knew that Oskar Winkler who was organising a Stag Party really wanted to come and bring his group of 20 to play Pitch and Putt at Sandfield as part of their schedule. It was always going to be a tough call to get the course ready for the Easter period as always due to the long wet winter and also the damage we suffered during Storm Éowyn. We were blessed with a 2/3 week dry spell that really allowed us to get on the course and get ready to open and it went right down to the wire when we confirmed on Friday we would be open for the Opening Day Stag Party..
So the Opening Day Stag did happen and we were pleased to welcome Oskar and the other 19 guys and thank them for the care and respect they showed us and the course and were happy the guys enjoyed their visit to Sandfield Pitch and Putt. And a big thank you to Oskar for the kind present.
We are pleased to announce that we have managed to get the course OPEN on Saturday 5th April for the 2025 Season, this despite the usual very wet Winter and some serious damage caused by Storm Éowyn on 24th January.
Thanks to the recent dry spell over the last fortnight this gave us the opportunity to get the course in a playable condition, although we still have some ongoing maintenance, clean up and required work to get the green in top condition. Opening on 5th April is a first for us as it is the earliest date we have managed to get open since we took over at Sandfield Pitch and Putt in 2021 but weather permitting will mean we should be open for the Easter Holiday period.
Another first is the addition of our first Sand Bunker situated behind the 16th Green. This was done as a result of some of the storm damage which uprooted and split the iconic tree that framed the green. We hope our players will enjoy (and avoid) the new hazard.
We look forward to welcoming all our regular Patrons and our visiting guests new and old during the upcoming 2025 Season. This may well be the last season of the ‘Old Course’, as we hope to have the 3 new Holes around Morgan’s Loch in play for next Season, along with some exciting new developments at the course.
So the Premier League Season is finally over and with it the Sandfield Pitch and Putt 2023-2024 Fantasy Results have been decided..
