Crowborough Beacon Golf Club

Nestled between Crawley and Royal Tunbridge Wells, Crowborough Beacon perches atop the High Weald National Landscape—one of Sussex’s loftiest greenscapes.

Crowborough Beacon has all the natural ingredients for the making of a superb golf course, but somehow, for me, it doesn't quite live up to its full potential.

Played crowborough this evening for the 2nd time, having played it a few years back.

Crowborough Beacon Golf Club is a heathland gem tucked away in the heart of East Sussex.

A lovely heathland / parkland course.

Occasionally an arrival at a golf course whets the appetite and reveals just enough of what is to come to get the anticipation juices flowing.

In short, Crowborough is nothing less than an excellent course offering variety, challenge and stunning views unique for the south of England befitting a course on the edge of the southeast's highest town and an area of outstanding natural beauty.

Another very strong offering down in the Sussex heathlands.

Its flame may have burned brightly for the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee but Crowborough Beacon’s golf course remains one of the best-kept secrets among England’s top 100.

I attempted to visit Crowborough Beacon earlier in the year and surprisingly, given that I’d expected this to be a free draining heathland course, it was closed for several weeks due to flooding from the heavy early year rain.
