In good condition, last couple of greens a bit to fluffy. Have to be straight because you won’t find your ball in the long rough off the fairway otherwise

One of the few course that are completely playable after the wet winte
Apart from 2 greens, the 5th and 16th, the course was fully opened and no real sign of the rain that had fallen. Mainly due to Chalky ground which drains exceptionally well. Considering the course was under threat of closure , together with Waterhall (which is now closed for good 31/3/20), the course was being well maintained. Greens were a little long but that is not a surprise considering the winter conditions. As long as it stays open this will be the obvious course to play if other courses are waterlogged.Reviewer Rating

I have been playing at Hollingbury for over 25 years and I have never seen it looking so good or playing better. This is a testament to the dedicated, hardworking groundstaff. All their efforts over the last 2 years are now really showing through( despite covid restrictions and lockdowns ) So if you are looking for a playable, affordable, throughout the year, course with stunning views, look no further! You will be met with friendly helpful and knowledgeable staff to make your day go with a swing.

Traditional South Downs Course
Great test of golf on a traditional downland course. Stunning views from most holes. A lot of effort is being put into this course from new owners post lockdown(Very noticeable work on good greens and surrounds bearing fruit having been left rundown) A little walked on by locals not sticking to paths but should improve as more regular golf traffic plays. Glad to have put this on my golf CV.Reviewer Rating

Some nice views out to sea, not the most interesting layout and the bunkers could be better maintained.

Good South Downs Course
Very friendly club house. Winter mats are small on all tees. Course drains well being on the downs. Greens need some work. Challenging course in the sea breeze. Long rough can be a challenge. 16th and 17th holes run along the side of a road with no netting or barrier can be a little of putting!Reviewer Rating

Hollingbury Park Golf Club is a nice place to play on a day when there isn't too much wind. Very exposed to the elements at times, but the flip side of that is that the views over Brighton and the surrounding area are superb. Good clubhouse facilities and a short game practice ground add to the appeal. Excellent value for money, too.

Interesting hilly course with some fine holes. Municipal course so it was extremely busy (turned in to a four and a half hour round) and the greens could have done with some TLC. But overall an enjoayble round.

First time I've played here and I will definitely return in the spring. Unfortunately half the course had temp greens due to a downpour the night before but for the most the course was very enjoyable. It does have a links feel to it and required quite a few bump and runs and careful use of slopes. Mishit drives however were redeemable with not too many mature trees, it is fairly open.
As it is situated on top of a hill at any given point you have either views of the sea or the downs through 180 degrees. I can imagine on a really cold day with a wind blowing you will need a few layers!
Previous reviews criticize next hole and hole number markers. This is a fair criticism as I myself following 2 members (playing a disjointed 9 holes) ended up making a wrong turn after 8 and playing the last 4 holes and then being pointed in the right direction by 2 very friendly and helpful members meaning I finished on the 14th eventually!
Really nice course that on a sunny day is a pleasure. But be warned there are many dog walkers popping up particularly at the top of the course, they were like Man Utd fans, everywhere! However all were very courteous and waited etc. unlike a few other courses I have played on!
Nice course, good value for money, fantastic views, will be returning soon.

It is a course that is very open in places, but when you play on a windy day (like I did today) any mishit shots can go a long way from the target. It is also very hilly, so expect tough walking unless you're a mountain goat.
The greens were generally quick and true, and the fairways were pretty reasonable too. The bunkers could do with a bit of work on them though, and the practise green certainly wasn't the best.
The bar and shop is a little basic, and it was disappointing that a clubhouse in such a prime spot should have so few windows to take advantage of its position. The staff were all very friendly though, and it looked like a club where people seem to get on with each other.
Overall I liked the course and intend going back again soon.

Very good draining course for winter play. Clubhouse staff are very helpful. Downside is that non-members tend to be disrespectful by not replacing divots on the fairways.
