What the club says: The course at Cowdray Park is set amongst the beautiful South Downs and forms part of The Viscount Cowdray's 16,000 acres estate. Overlooking the ruins of the old Cowdray House, golf was first played here in 1904 and the course has now matured into what is without doubt one of the most beautiful tracks in the south east. Measuring 6,212 yards, the par 70 layout boasts the very latest in fairway irrigation and sprinkler systems and together with its sandy soil, is able to maintain its superb condition throughout the whole year.

Reviewed Apr 16 2019 by Jonathan M - rated 5 out of 5 My home course is looking great at this time of the year. They have repaired the sprinkler system which was damaged a few years ago which will help maintain the course during the year. The greens are very challenging but in great nick and we have a few new t boxes open.

Very strange. Played here numerous times in the past and loved it. What’s happened. They still have the winter markers out around the greens and looks like a mud bath, the greens really poor and bobbling around all over the place. I’m sure it will recover to it’s normal amazing condition but some way away yet.Course (layout/challlenge)

Reviewed Feb 26 2019 by Greg M - rated 5 out of 5 Organised another society event after having a great day last year and we weren’t disappointed. The facilities are excellent and we were made to feel extremely welcome by every member of staff we came into contact with. The delicious buffet breakfast was a big reason we came back and was just as good as before and was the perfect start to the day.
The course was in beautiful condition. There was some work being done to the sprinkler system on all fairways but we were warned about this ahead of the day and it was simply a case of having a free drop for GUR if your ball ended up in these areas. The greens were fantastic and very fast. I didn’t struggle getting players for this one and it was obvious why. I’m sure we’ll take even more next year. Can’t recommend Cowdray enough. Great staff, great views, great course and superb value for money in my opinion.

3 hour drive from the midlands. Wasn’t disappointed when I finally got off the tiny single track roads from the A3. Wonderful club house and made to feel very welcome by the staff! Golf was good, views were amazing and a hilly course! So hard going at times! Some nice elevated tees like on 4 and 5 were standouts! Only negative was the course layout at times meant waiting for a double green to clear which caused a delay for 2 matches. Overall very pleasant but nothing amazing If I lived in the area I’d probably play by golf elsewhere but enjoy an occasional round here!If I lived in the area

Reviewed Jan 11 2018 by Chris G - rated 5 out of 5 Society Day
We had an another excellent day at Cowdray Park. Every part of our day was excellent. A substantial and delicious Breakfast before Golf, 18 holes on a course that was in great condition when you take into account the time of year and the recent stormy weather. The greens were excellent and tested our putting more than usual for this time of year. The Stroke index's had changed from our visit last year which caught a few of us out as we had worked out in our heads where we were going to score those extra stapledord points. Our two course Carvery Evening meal was equally as delicious and plentiful, the Sussex Licensee's GS do love a buffet style breakfast and dinner!!! Everyone at the club is so helpful and accommodating, we return every year and are delighted each time. Never known the course to be closed and is therefore in our opinion the best course you could play in January for a perfect day. Value for money exceptional golf day experience. Many thanksSussex Licensee's GS

Played at this parkland course expecting great things after reading the reviews on this site. Left Completely disappointed and very wet. Being a clay golf course I’m sure I should have expected the conditions after rain but nowhere near worth £60.00. There’s a course just south that offers much better value and customer service for half the price.Course (layout/challlenge)
