West Sussex is a wonderfully natural heathland course whose effortless routing, strategic variety and firm, responsive ground place it among the finest examples of its kind in England.

The experience begins with a memorable arrival through the trees before the landscape opens to reveal the heathland, handsome clubhouse and extensive practice facilities. A gentle opening par five provides a welcoming introduction, but the course soon reveals considerably greater depth and challenge...

Wow - have been waiting to play this course for a long time and it certainly did not disappoint.

Was there yesterday on an NCG Top 100 Golf Courses day - it was my 365th course played in England and 542nd worldwide.Unusual combination of holes with just one short par 5 (the first) and five par threes, two consecutive (the 5th and 6th) although I have played easier stroke index 18's than the 5th...

West Sussex Golf Club – or Pulborough – sits in the South of England on the very border of the South Downs National Park.

Set out over old farmland with free draining sand and Gravel Deposits, this is a beautiful Heathland that plays firm and fast year-round. A club of traditions, play is limited to two-balls and foursomes with groups expected to complete 18 holes in little over three hours.The clubhouse sits at the hi...

Make no mistake West Sussex is a serious golf course.

Situated near Pulborough, built in 1931, this sandy heathland is impressive. Traditionally, a two-ball club, I was fortunate enough to play it on two consecutive days this week:i) Wednesday for 36 holes (foursomes) on official Top 100 duty.ii) Thursday for 18 holes of 4BBB with my old man — using my...

Had the pleasure of playing West Sussex on Masters Friday, in beautiful sunshine but with a strong wind, which added to the challenge of the course.

For full disclosure, I was invited to play by my son-in-law who had just become a member at the club. Without doubt this is one of the best golf courses I have ever played. I love heathland courses anyway, but West Sussex is one of the finest examples. As many other reviews here say, it is deceptive...

West Sussex Golf Club is a superb example of classic English heathland golf.

The course was beautifully presented with fast-running fairways, firm greens, and a stunning natural setting of heather, pine, and rolling terrain. It presented a decent challenge. It also offers one of my favourite ever par three hole, the 6th. The peaceful atmosphere and traditional layout give it...

A superb heathland that has been and will no doubt challenge again the World Top 100.

It should be mentioned in the same breath as Sunningdale, Swinley Forest and St George's Hill. The 3 Majors dont get the love that Harry Colt gets, but judged on output, you'd struggle to make the case this isn't one of the most complete golf courses on the planet. If you want to explore the concept...

 West Sussex rivals the top Surrey heathland courses. If you’re willing to travel the few miles further to get here you’ll be rewarded with a very fair green fee for what is a stunning course. Hole one is a straight and short par 5, it’s probably the best chance of a bridie on the whole co...

West Sussex is often in discussion as a Top 100 World ranked course.

This heathland classic laid out over undulating land certainly has strong bones and has some standout holes, but for me, it isn't as good as Woodhall Spa, which has just been demoted out of this websites World Top 100. Whilst I strongly disagree with that move, if Woodhall Spa isn't a World Top 100,...

Pulborough is a hidden gem nestled in the Sussex countryside.

A classic heathland course with under 6,400 yards from the back tees and a par of just 68, it may look modest on the scorecard, but it delivers a serious golfing challenge. The layout is full of charm, history, and subtle difficulty, earning its place as one of the finest inland courses in the UK. W...
