If you haven't played Cowdray, I'd suggest you give it a go. It's a beautiful course in the rolling Sussex hills, of good length, and with enough challenges for most golfers, especially off the back tees. The club sandwiches are huge, and the staff are great. The only downside I've found is that you can sometimes get caught behind groups, who could perhaps be better schooled on the importance of letting people through...

Beautiful Condition
Not the cheapest but grab a twilight deal and you won't feel so bad.The course as you would expect in August on a hot day, was flawless. Stunning,
Both the Par5's were in the front 9 and I enjoyed them.

Fantastic course and hospitallity
I played here for the first time in November with H2KGS, a well established society. We have had an enormous amount of rain over the last 6 weeks and the week before I was on a course in mud that really shouldn't have been open. Cowdray was in very good condition from T, fairway bunkers through to greens. Can't wait to go back. I would recommend to anyone.Reviewer Rating

Played on 1st October in a group of 9 so three x 3 balls. The course was in excellent condition despite a huge rainstorm before we teed off - so the course definitely drains well. The tees, fairways and greens were generally in first class order and are clearly well maintained. In some respects the course is challenging but it is also forgiving. There are well planned hazards and many of the holes offer angled fairways so you need to drive off with care! We were lucky to have clear weather following the storm and were blessed with some wonderful views across the downs and surrounding countryside. Regarding the off-course facilities, the club is well appointed and we were welcomed with enthusiasm by the pro-shop staff - we rented two buggies and they were good quality. Our one criticism would be that the speed of service in the upstairs bar/restaurant was poor and if felt as if the kitchen/bar was understaffed even though there were not many customers in the club-house at that time - to be fair, we were told that there was some sort of an official inspection going on so the slow service may have been a temporary blip. To summarise, all of our group were impressed and had an enjoyable day - we will definitely return.Reviewer Rating

Annual Greyfriars Golfing Society meeting at this excellent course near Midhurst. All course details provided by the starter on the 1st tee. Course fully open with no temporary tees or greens. All staff extremely welcoming and helpful. Golf followed by the usual high quality dinner and Christmas extras. Already booked for next year.

Despite high expectations, this is both a course & club that doesn't disappoint. Actully, that's not true. If you're looking for a course where you're guaranteed a flat lie from the fairway then you've come to the wrong place. However, if you're okay with a course where it helps to be part mountain goat, then you'll love Cowdray Park.
When we played the course it had been after a couple of days of heavy, February rain, so the greens and fairways were a little softer than one might hope for, but it was clear to see that this is a track that receives a fair bit of TLC.
The fairways are pretty forgiving from the tee, but the greens are fairly well protected by a lot of deep bunkers. The heavy sand doesn't make them any easier to navigate out of them.
As suggested earlier, there are a number of climbs and drops to be negotiated, but that's just part of the local terrain that provides a very scenic backdrop to Cowdray Park, and is a big part of why it's such a delight to play there.
You can pick any number of favourite holes here, but I'm going to go with the 4th, a dogleg par 4 that climbs left and up around trees, with views of the South Downs to the right.
As for the club, I got a very warm welcome in the pro shop, and the breakfast was as good a breakfast as I've ever had anywhere.

Apart from a pathologically slow quarter that resulted in a 10 minute wait at each hole, the course was fantastic.
It was a shame that the club didn't sort out the slow players as I felt the need to call the clubhouse to ask for assistance when there were 3 groups waiting on one tee, but no help was forthcoming.
The course itself was great and I would definitely play again, but another slow day like the last would probably be the final round there.

I love this course it's in a great setting and has some fantastic holes. Always welcoming and has always been in good condition when I've played it. Currently undergoing new bunkers to the whole course but what a place it will be when complete this summer. Try it.Reviewer Rating
