Even if you play lass than 10 times that's still cheaper than visitors rate. I'd be snapping their hands off at that price. It really is an amazing course.
Do I join sandmoor or Headingley golf club?

I have played both often but just prefer Headingley (especially at that price).

Yes I'd say that's Sandmoor, always charging quite a bit more. Their Opens, for years, have been at £40 a man when Scarcroft, Headingley & Wetherby were still at £25/£30...... Alwoodley & Moortown are at another level. However, Sandmoor always seems to manage to punch above its weight with its reputation.... not sure where that comes from.
Don't get me wrong it is always very well presented which makes it a pleasure to visit & has a very convenient practice area. However, I find there are just too many weak holes & blind drives... yes you can get used to them but it still takes away from the experience. They boast that their 4 Par 3's are the toughest in the county & it's true that if you miss the green you'll have all on getting up & down or even just bogying. Happy to play a couple of those Par 3 toughies but all 4 is just rather too demanding.
Headingley is a full-on Championship type course. In my latter years I find it a rather tough walk as there's lots of undulations & sloping fairways. It has one really tough Par 3, 17th with the remainder being a fair challenge.
From what I've seen they have Clubhouse areas that are rather more 'Boisterous' than would be tolerated at Sandmoor & perhaps other N Leeds Clubs.
Here in N Leeds we are spoilt rotten with fine courses & get to play them all with the Union for just £21 or so.
Whatever you choose you'll be getting a memorable experience at a good price.... Good luck
