Golf course review of The Dyke Golf Club

A great course to play all year round set on south side of the downs. Fantastic panaramic views from sea on one side to the downs on the other.
Unusual start with 3 par 5s in the first 4 holes. Having said that the first 2 are basically the same hole just stretching further from the club house.
The 5th is a delightful par 3 that you only see once you have left the 4th green, and as always the wind direction can make 4 clubs difference !
The 7th, 9th and 10th are average par 4s with neither length nor bunkering featuring too heavily, having said that, the newish bunkers down the left side of 9 do make for a more difficult drive.
The 11th is basically the same hole as the 1st or the 2nd.
Then come 2 good par 4s which require a different shape of shot than most of us are comfortable playing (the draw).
The 16th really deserves its sroke index 1 as it is a par 4 which is often unreachable with driver then 3 wood if the wind is in your face !
the 17th is another great par 3 but the 18th is unfortunately one of the weaker holes on the course.
In truth there are not that many special holes but there are only a couple of week ones.
As is so often the case unfortunately, the members here seem to believe themselves to be above mere mortals because they belong to a private club.
I know several members who are nothing like this, but i am yet to play a green fee round without a dirisery comment from one member or another.
I understand all to well that we are guests on their course but it appears they have a members list made up of wannabe captains !
I let my scoring do the talking unlike many i have experienced at The Dyke !
Overall the course is a really good one which can change dramatically with the wind from one day to the next.
I just hope that young golfers (without rich parents) are not put off by the attitude of so many that believe this to be the best club around Brighton.
