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.

Cowdray GC is a wonderful layout. The fairways and tees are superb, the bunkers are well designed and filled with proper sand and the greens are flawless. The clubhouse is warm and inviting, the food is of the highest standard and the staff are friendly. There is no shortage of things to do on site - and there is plenty to do within striking distance.

The bunkers have all been revamped and look a picture along with the rest of the course. They are well positioned and with the rough brow to cope with too they really do the job of presenting a hazard worth avoiding. Greens are in great condition too. And don't forget to take in the views. This place to me has it all. Friendly staff and members, a great setting, excellent course and gorgeous views.

What you want a golf club to be.
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

Good but could be so much better
Beautiful golf course in some of the finest scenery and countryside in West Sussex. Very pleasant club house and changing facilities, golf shop more of a kiosk than a shop and dreary staff in there, who looked like they'd rather be anywhere else, than serving punters. Some fine holes, especially on the front 9, but very disappointed to find so many unrepaired divots on the fairways and some of the greens. A decent half way house, but closed on the day and some members I met, moaned about the fact it is closed more than it's open. No sign of any marshals and no sign of anyone in the starter hut, disappointing given the stature of the club and it's reputation. Slow play an issue in places, no doubt some of the octogenarian members shuffling their way round with the usual 'thou shalt not pass' attitude. Liberal attitude to dress code, some very casual attire worn by some players I saw, again disappointing.Come on Cowdray. Let's have everyone properly dressed, let's have a couple of marshals out in buggies on the course and let's sharpen up a bit. The club feels like it needs a breath of fresh air, feels a bit stuck in a rut, feels like it's living on reputation. You have a very good course, yet the golfing experience felt me wanting more.

Beautiful views
Two different days of golf- one that was wet and the other that was dry and sunny. Course coped well with the rain which was a deluge and dried quickly for the following day where the greens were fast and tricky- many undulations. Course offers all golfers a challenge so well worth a visit.Reviewer Rating

Quality course
Played Cowdray twice (in very different conditions) over a two day golf break. Stayed in The Lodge on-site which was clean, comfortable and well appointed. Breakfast was excellent! Golf challenging for all grades of handicap - greens are the course defence with splendid undulations, ridges and subtle pin placements. Overall a course we?ll worth playing in a great part of Sussex.Reviewer Rating

First time round here. Lovely course in great condition despite the recent prolonged wet weather. Greens were excellent and rolled well. Nice variety amongst the various holes and an excellent challenge. More of a walk that anticipated as there's a fair bit of elevation change as you go round. Decent value at £40 twilight rate. Friendly in the pro shop. Clubhouse looked very nice but I didn't pop in. Would love to play it again in the summer.

The scenery was beautiful and the course was kept in great condition. It was challenging but still enjoyable. The staff were friendly and the condition of the course was excellent, considering the hot temperatures. I also loved the lovely rolling parkland course, and the club house had great food. Highly recommend this course for those looking for an elite golf experience.

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

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.Reviewer Rating
