[Other Sport] Former pitch and putt courses.

[Return of the Rev]

I start with the Salts Seaford,any other lost pitch and putt courses in Sussex?

 

[scooter1]

I think both Roedean and Rottingdean have gone(am I allowed 2)

East Hill Hastings. Greens (not a lot of grass) were quicker than Augusta National. You could miss the hole by a fraction and end up 100ft away at the bottom of the hill. Used to love it though, great way to pass a couple of hours with mates.

Roedean was still there on Sunday, but 36 hours is a long time in pitch and putt.

Saltdean Oval Park.

Does Brooklands Par 3 count? Really pissed off they are not re opening this after saying it was only closed because of cabling for the Rampion wind farm

 

[darkwolf666]

Beech Hurst, Haywards Heath...

 

[Chicken Run]

Hassocks, well let’s be honest it was nothing more than a pitch and putt [emoji23]

The Brooklands pitch and put has gone, but I did hear rumours that the par 3 will reopen.

Before the par 3, there were 2 decent pitch & putts.

Regarding the par 3, I think that's now gone forever, (hope I'm wrong though) along with the train.

From the council website....

The Par 3 Golf course and Pitch and Putt facility remains closed. The Masterplan proposal shows the Par 3 potentially being used as alternative leisure and play facilities as part of the broad vision for the site, themed on science and adventure.

The one on the seafront near the lagoon has gone.
The rough in Hove Park is very thick.

Indeed. Lying ********. And worse than losing the pitch and putt courses - I found out at the weekend that the train's gone! That's been there for over 50 years!

Worthing is really shit for young families now. When I was a boy, and when my children were growing up there used to be Peter Pan's playground and the big paddling pool in Worthing (both now lost to the new swimming pool). Plus there were putting greens, and then the train, boats, paddling pools, pitch 'n' putt and play equipment at Brooklands. All now gone. All that's left are the go-carts, but I wonder how long they'll last?

Driven past the Rottingdean one several times recently and wondered if it was viable to re-open. Didn't realise Beachurst had gone.

 

[Bladders]

The one at Princes Park in Eastbourne has been closed for a while now .

Many many many (say 50) years ago, there used to be a pitch and putt course at Field Place in Durrington. I doubt if it's still there.

 

[Dave the OAP]

Hove seafront. The greens are shite, but the bunkers, if you can avoid the dog shit, are actually pretty decent....

Rottingdean has been incorporated in to Beacon Hill Nature Reserve. It is on the Council's grazing list and it will be interesting to see what wild flowers emerge in the next few years. I doubt if it will ever be used for anything else, other than being a nature area, ever.

Go carts are going, if not already gone.
