What the club says: Both our championship courses were designed by Robert E Cupp, one of Jack Nicklaus’s course architects. The East Course was specifically designed with championship golf in mind. Measuring 7138 yards from the gold tees, this is a formidable test of golf. Unlike the West, the East has two loops of nine holes bringing you back to the Clubhouse after each nine. The West Course was formally known as ‘The Members Course’,and is often regarded as the more scenic of the two courses, but is certainly tighter and more undulating. Surprisingly at 7154 yards it is slightly longer than the East.

Too Muddy
This course should have been closed. The greens were in bad shape and the course was way too muddy basically unplayable if not on fairway.(Round played: Dec 2020 - Score: 96 Handicap: 16.5)









Good couple of days
We enjoyed a two night, 3 rounds package in the spring of 2020. The courses were great, the deal we got was good value for money and I?d go again. The only blip was the evening meals which weren?t great and the member of staff (manager?) in the pro shop who wasn?t especially helpful or welcoming.









Fantastic course worth visiting
Always a pleasure to stay and play here. Great course fast greens and a good bar for after. Would recommend.(Round played: Jul 2019 - Score: 96 Handicap: 19.6)








Mud Bath - terrible greens
This course has drainage issues, it was a mud bath. Balls disappear into the mud on every hole. The greens were in very poor condition with hollotining depressions on all of them. Might be a good summer course but avoid this course in the winter. The course should have been closed, but they will take your money in any case.(Round played: Dec 2020 - Score: 97 Handicap: 15)









Challenging course


















Disappointed
Looks impressive on arrival. Main hotel great and rooms superb lounge and bar did feel like waiting in an airport. Meals were good quality but lack of choice. Played both course. First day championship east. Thought condition of fairways and greens very poor. We were told to play pick and place. Off white tees not really that difficult. Expected more. Second day played west course. Far superior and a lot harder. Course in better nick but not perfect. Greens not very slick. Really need to play this 18 couple times. Course management vital playing these holes. Due to COVID bunkers were poor and some were GUR. East Sussex has a good reputation so I expected higher standards so overall disappointed








The West Course
A challenging course that is in exceptional condition








High standard golf course
Brilliant golf course that makes you play some difficult shots.

















Brilliant Course
Finally got to play at East Sussex National yesterday & wasn?t disappointed. We played the East course & it was challenging but a fun course to play. Greens were in very good condition & it was nice to see green fairways as well. I think the rain the day before really helped to slow the course down a bit. Had a pint in the hotel afterwards & sat in the evening sun. Will be back somewhen to play the west course.








Gregg Geraghty
Great layout unfortunately due to hot weather course was very dry with mud and dust patches all over the place - disappointing considering the sprinkler system they have but don?t consistently use - I would like to think this was down to restrictions on water use but that wasn?t shared with us and for a premium location/facility you would expect them to have their own water supply from wells or capture systems








Very nice location









Fantastic course
Played both courses at East Sussex national. Both were beautiful and challenging. If you play here you will not be disappointed. Lively place to play golf

EuroPro Tour - East Sussex National - Simply Glorious
What a gem - not expensive as golf goes on championship courses, and when I say championship, it is used on the Euro Pro Tour. Both East and West courses are magnificent and to just walk back to the gold tees [Tour] the holes are immense to look down. A solid challenge of the whites [Blues a little further back change the course again but are Member Tees. Beautifully maintained, quick undulating greens, but I would say its setup is a challenge, but if you play a good shot, it is not punishing if its not 100% "on it". The East course [the tour course] has more hardships in terms of false fronts, run-offs, smaller greens in general and some severe bunkers green side. But a really enjoyable setup and a fantastic venue also.








Very nice location
