Golf Courses in Sussex worth giving a go...

[Munkfish]

Im a Member at Mid Sussex and have played at a few other courses in and around the area.

Any suggestions for a nice course to play.

previously played off the top of my head the following...

Mid Sussex
Hassocks
Cottesmore
Hill Barn
Singing Hills
Rookwood
Slingfold
West Hove

Any suggestions would be great.

Mid sussex is ok, but I prefer Rookwood, for a council course it's fantastic.
Hassocks is nothing special, but I quite like it.
Singing Hills is probably my fave local one, I was a member there this year.
Hill Barn is ok if you have strong legs. Beware - you don't play any shot from level ground in the entire round (well, almost)

 

[_mark_]

Rye, West Sussex, ESN, Crowborough, Littlehampton

 

[SULLY COULDNT SHOOT]

I have always loved East Brighton if only for the fantastic par five that goes down the hill looking over to St Dunstans. fantastic view

oh and the main course at Rye, cant remember the names but the second is a bit manky but a REAL links course

I have played all of these before, im looking for somewhere new.

I agree about Rookwood, great course. to be fair to Mid Sussex it has improved a lot in the last year.

Bruce Forsyth teed off after me a while back. Said I 'had a lovely swing' ! Which was nice...Still reckon the 5th looks bout a mile long

Rookwood, Singing Hills and Mid sussex are the ones I play most often.

Mannings Heath is quite good, only played one of the courses though, not the members one.
Rustington is quite fun, but not difficult, quite short and flat - plus being a 9 hole course, playing it twice round can be a pain.

The old course at Goodwood is gorgeous! It is hard but very worth while! If you are after a flatter course the Park course at Goodwood is also very enjoyable. http://www.goodwood.co.uk/golf-at-goodwood/golf-at-goodwood.aspx

Give Seaford Head ago its a nice course but the main attraction is the 18th its one of the most memorable holes I have played.
The view from the tee is special.

 

[KZNSeagull]

Rye, West Sussex, ESN, Crowborough, Littlehampton

Add Royal Ashdown to that list and you have the best courses in Sussex.

You then have courses like Haywards Heath, Copthorne, Ifield, The Dyke, Worthing, Highwoods, Cooden Beach, Ham Manor, Seaford (not Head) etc which are all good.

Have you played Avisford park, a nice well looked after course but can be challenging. I am a member ther if yo need any info.

 

[jasetheace]

Mannings Heath (Waterfall Course) and Cooden Beach

played East Sussex national west course for thirty quid last week - course in good nick and no other golfer for six holes in either direction - perfect...

Hassocks is 3 flat fields & needs a driver off just the one hole..It only exists to make worse than average players think they're better than average

This.

Superb course.

Also bit of a drive but Old Thorns on the A3 (yea not quite in Sussex I know) is absolutely superb.

It's on teetimes.co.uk over the winter too.

A gorgeous course at a great price. Worth the trip.

I always play Hassocks if im in a bit of a bad patch, always come away with a nice scorecard. by far the easiest course Iv played.

but also very enjoyable for that reason alone, quite fun to play with non-golfers as they dont get to wound up.

read this thread with interest.
Seaford Head, great views and some memorable holes.
Hassocks, give it a miss
Mid Sussex, ditto
Old Thorns, supurb but take a buggy
ESN, get a day ticket and play both the East and West, again with a buggy for the day.
Best value for money = Waterhall, council owned but great views good breakfast and some good holes, £10 weekdays and £15 weekends. greens have improved no end as well.

how can you say give Mid Sussex a miss but play Waterhall? REALLY?

ESN is somthing i will do next summer, not in the winter.
