New owners just taken over the course. There were at least 4-6 greens in very poor condition . Lots of people walking about the course - having picnics, dog walkers etc.

Played here recently - course was in very poor condition. Played off mats, greens were very patchy and the bunkers (not seen a rake in weeks / months). Shame because some of the holes are splendid. \Also, I would not recommend eating there. The food we were served up was inedible and the staff did not even have the curtesy to enquire why most of our party had left some of there food.\

Society golf

Not a bad course value for money wise. Good afternoons golf, but a few blind tee shots which led to sometimes fruitless ball searches. Rough quite deep so beneficial to stay on the short stuff. Beware of gulls pinching balls.

I find hollingbury a good challenge, but it is a shame it is not kept quite so nicely. The course isn't in the best of conditions but the course isn't a push over and unforgiving with long rough if you're wayward.

Reviewed Apr 22 2020

One of the few course that are completely playable after the wet winte

Apart from 2 greens, the 5th and 16th, the course was fully opened and no real sign of the rain that had fallen. Mainly due to Chalky ground which drains exceptionally well. Considering the course was under threat of closure , together with Waterhall (which is now closed for good 31/3/20), the course was being well maintained. Greens were a little long but that is not a surprise considering the winter conditions. As long as it stays open this will be the obvious course to play if other courses are waterlogged.

Good South Downs Course

Very friendly club house. Winter mats are small on all tees. Course drains well being on the downs. Greens need some work. Challenging course in the sea breeze. Long rough can be a challenge. 16th and 17th holes run along the side of a road with no netting or barrier can be a little of putting!

Good for this time of year

Considering we played on the last day of November, the course was in good condition - no mud or lying water. Bunkers dry and greens whilst not the best, still in good condition compared to some other courses played recently. No grass tees in use, only mats. Clubhouse a bit dowdy but quite acceptable. Good value for money.
