Sapey Golf Club, Upper Sapey. (1990 – 2025)
Sapey Golf and Country Club was established in 1990 with the 18-hole golf Rowan Course on 86 acres of former farmland. A 9-hole par 3 course called The Oaks was eventually laid out on an adjoining 22 acres.
It was reported in 2025 that due to continuing losses the Rowan 18-hole course and the nine-hole short course were to close.
