Golf in West Sussex

Testing golf course and friendly golf club. Maybe not the spectacular views and scenery of some of the downland courses, but a good day's golf nonetheless.Burgess Hill Golf Centre
Targeted at the new and casual golfer. Burgess Hill Golf Centre has a 9 hole golf course, a 24 bay driving range and an unstuffy atmosphere.Chichester Golf Club
Golf driving range and pay and play
At Hunston south of Chichester. The club has quite a flat and often windy 18 hole course which is maturing all the time, plus a 9 hole course too.Chichester Golf Club club has a well equipped driving range which is very popular.

Shortish par 71 course with very reasonable green fees.Cuckfield Golf Society

Attractive website with very useful slide show which gives a good idea of what to expect from this downland course high above Brighton.English Blind Golf Association
The EBGA provides visually handicapped people with the facility to train and compete in the game of golf.Foxbridge Golf Club
9 hole course between Billingshurst and Godalming.Quite brilliantly the club website states that "Mark Twain may well have said 'Golf is a good walk spoiled', however he never came to Foxbridge. If he had, this famous assessment may never have been made."
Gatton Manor
A combined golf, business and leisure venue with a 6,600 yard woodland course.Golf at Goodwood
A lot of change has taken place here with the two separate Goodwood owned clubs being taken over by the Goodwood Estate and a lot of money being spent on improving off course facilities and making changes to the layout of the courses.Goodwood golf's really good website gives you a terrific flavour of the type of golf on offer. The downland course is very hilly, so if you are worried about the steel in your legs, the Parkland course might be a better bet.

A newish 18 hole par 70 course. Visitors and societies welcome.Haywards Heath Golf Club
Traditional parkland course with lovely views.Hill Barn Golf Club

Ifield Golf Club
Societies welcome.Liphook Golf Club
Lovely and famous old heathland course that provides a stern test of golf. As the club says, "those who take liberties with the course are punished". I think they mean on the scorecard, but I can't be certain of that.Littlehampton Golf Club
The only links course in Sussex, sheltering under the beach on the west bank of the River Arun. needless to say, wind is an essential element of a round of golf at Littlehampton.While the views may not match those of some of the more glorious downland courses, Littlehampton is a good test of golf, unless the wind drops, and a fun place to play.
Visitors and societies welcome.
Mannings Heath Golf Club
Near Horsham. A very swish club with two relatively new courses and high quality off-course facilities. Societies and visitors welcome by arrangement.Mid Sussex Golf Club
Parkland course built in 1995.Petersfield Golf Club
Maybe not the best course in the area, but Petersfield is set in some lovely countryside, with views of the Downs in most directions.Piltdown Golf Club
Reassuringly old fashioned members' club which seems happy in its own skin.The course is short, but tight and protected by heather and gorse rather than sand.
Societies and visitors welcome.

Royal Ashdown Forest Golf Club
Top class golf club with two fine 18 hole courses which rely on heather (in the case of the Old Course), tight fairways and careful design rather than length and overabundant bunkers for protection.The West course is open to non members and societies and has more of a feel than the Old Course.

The body that runs inter club competitions within Sussex and selects representative amateur teams to take on other counties throughout the rest of England.Members can benefit from the SGU's county card scheme which allows good value golf as a guest of other clubs within Sussex, although, obviously, certain restrictions apply to this.
