For squash enthusiasts, Sandringham Club features one recently refurbished, high-quality squash court built in 1935. There are over thirty active squash players at the club who participate in pennant competitions, club championships, regular practise, and social matches. The club has pennant squash teams that compete in the strong 'Club Circuit' competition, ranging from B grade to F troop. Squash pennant is played once a week on a home and away basis between Monday to Thursday evenings.
Intra-club competitions such as the Club Singles Championship, Club Handicap Championship, and Most Consistent and Best Pennant Performance offer opportunities for members to showcase their skills.
Snooker enthusiasts can indulge in the “Jewel in the Crown” of Sandringham Club, the Billiard Room, which houses two full-sized, recently refurbished, competition-grade billiard tables. The room is available to all members for both social and sporting activities. The club hosts intra-club competitions such as the Open Snooker Championship, Handicap Snooker Championship, and Handicap Billiards Championship.

Although Sandringham Club does not have direct access to a golf course on its grounds, it has approximately 50 active golfing members who also belong to private golf clubs. With the assistance of the Golf Convenor, the club organises numerous golf days at various golf courses in Melbourne, the Mornington Peninsula, and the Bellarine Peninsula. This allows members to have access to top-ranked private courses in Australia and worldwide. The club encourages participation from golfers with or without an official GOLFLINK golf handicap and holds several intra-club competitions, including the Club Championship (stroke), Country Championship held at Sorrento GC, City Championship held at Victoria GC, and various Stableford events.
These competitions culminate in an Order of Merit Champion for the calendar year.
