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.

Played on a Friday morning. Although we were behind a society and play was slightly slow, we had a great round. Love the course, in great condition, and we had a 2 for 1 voucher so had a buggy and it made it even better. Cowdray own brewed beer after was lovely.

Reviewed Oct 22 2015
Great course with reasonable twilight green fees from 2 pm on the day but still a little expensive compared to local peers such as Goodwood. Views are wonderful and holes are equally pleasant. Members were very pleasant and courteous allowing a single to play through on three occasions without any fuss. Definitely worth a round if in the area.

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...

Used my Open Fairways membership card for a four-ball, £42 each with a buggy. I'd recommend a buggy as it's a very slopey and a long course.
Greens were very quick, but you'd expect that at a course of this quality. Played with a beginner and two low hanicappers, and we all enjoyed it.
