Visitors to Sandown will soon be able to enjoy a round of golf at the much-loved Browns Golf Course.
New tenant, Paul Saville, will tee-off a new chapter in the long history of the iconic family attraction when he reopens the greens this Summer. He said he felt privileged to be a part of the unique venue after securing a 5-year lease from the Isle of Wight Council.
Work has started in the front part of the building allowing the café to open for refreshments and ice creams and people to play golf once again. Paul will even be offering a 10% discount on a round of golf for Dinosaur Isle customers. For the latest updates, people should visit the Browns Golf Facebook page.
Paul said:
“I have been visiting Browns with friends for almost 20 years and fell in love with it particularly the previous welcoming atmosphere, which is something I am dedicated to continuing. I look forward to working with the Council to ensure Browns has a very bright future and is a place for all to enjoy.”
Councillor Jonathan Bacon, Cabinet member for environment and heritage said the Council had worked hard to secure the future of the popular attraction, and he looked forward to a great partnership for many years to come.
Bacon said:
“We very much welcome Paul to Browns — this is a positive step forward for restoring this historic attraction as part of Sandown sea front and the plans we seek to develop for the future of the area.”

Councillor Julie Jones Evans, Cabinet member for regeneration, added:
“Getting the facility open again for golf and takeaway refreshments is brilliant news for the summer season and I thank the new occupants for wanting to move forward with such a positive attitude. There’s a great appetite in the area for long term improved facilities for Browns which the Isle of Wight Council will work with the community to bring forward.”
Good luck, bring back the large Doughnuts
(I don’t mean the Island Councillors), the ones with plenty of jam in.
Lol
Yea good luck, hope it all goes well
Wish you the best.
We’re very lucky our council works so hard to secure its (sorry our) assets.
i hope he does well but i would not sink any of my money into a business with such a short lease, he will just about get it up and running when the council will play about with the renewal and ram up the cost.
Completely agree nobody is going to pump money into a business with a five year lease
and nothiny to show at the end of it.
So in five years we are back to square one
Welcome Mr Savage, and thank you for restoring our local family golf course. As foster parents, this has been a fantastic facility for us.
