Sussex

The Sussex Golf (formerly known as Sussex County Golf Union) provides administration for 57 golf clubs across the county. “Sussex by the Sea” is the county anthem and for very good reason because Sussex’s lengthy English Channel coastline stretches for almost 100 miles from Camber in the east to Chichester in the west.

  1. West Sussex Golf Club

    Sussex, United Kingdom

    West Sussex Golf Club

    West Sussex Golf Club is one of our favourite inland courses. It is sheer delight to play golf on this charming sandy outcrop of heathland.

  2. Rye Golf Club (Old)

    Sussex, United Kingdom

    Rye Golf Club (Old)

    Rye Golf Club was founded in 1894 and was the inaugural design of 25-year-old Harry Colt. With a measly par of 68, and a layout that measures over 6,300 yards, Rye has to be one of the toughest courses in Britain.

  3. Royal Ashdown Forest Golf Club (Old)

    Royal Ashdown Forest Golf Club is set stunningly, affording fantastic views from the high parts of the course across the forest and the rolling Sussex countryside.

  4. Piltdown Golf Club

    Sussex, United Kingdom

    Piltdown Golf Club

    The bunkerless course of Piltdown Golf Club was founded in 1904 and is laid out on common land where Nature’s heathery hazards are sufficiently challenging for even the best golfers.

  5. Crowborough Beacon Golf Club

    Sussex, United Kingdom

    Crowborough Beacon Golf Club

    Crowborough Beacon Golf Club is an undulating heathland delight. The course is laid out on the southern slopes of the East Sussex High Weald, 800ft above sea level, affording panoramic views of the South Downs.

  6. Golf at Goodwood (Downs)

    The original Goodwood downland golf course was designed by James Braid. It now measures 7,100 yards but you'll need to befriend a member to play here.

  7. Mannings Heath Golf Club (Waterfall)

    The Waterfall course at Mannings Heath Golf Club is a beautiful West Sussex gem - part parkland, part downland and part heathland.

  8. East Sussex National Golf Club (West)

    The West course is considered to be the more intimate, and the prettier of the two courses at the East Sussex National golf complex.

  9. East Sussex National Golf Club (East)

    Gordon Brand Jnr. and David Gilford won the European Opens here in 1993 and 1994 respectively. It will come as no surprise to hear that East Sussex National’s East course is a big tournament layout.

  10. Seaford Golf Club

    Sussex, United Kingdom

    Seaford Golf Club

    Set on high ground with fine views over the Seven Sisters and the English Channel, Seaford is believed to be the oldest golf club in Sussex (founded in 1887) and it's the archetypal downland golf course, which was designed by J.H. Taylor in 1907 and later altered by John Morrison.
