Good course, something for everyone
Fairways recovering well after welcome rain. Greens vary in standard. Bunkers need some better quality sand. Really enjoyable course with some splendid views over the coastReviewer Rating

Lovely views
The course was nice and lovely views around Brighton. The fairways are quite wide. It is quite hilly. They could do with some course markers and telling you which way to the next hole. They could also do with some rubbish bins on the tees.Reviewer Rating

Very good draining course for winter play. Clubhouse staff are very helpful. Downside is that non-members tend to be disrespectful by not replacing divots on the fairways.

Challenging course with great views
Friendly , helpful staff and a great challenging course where slope and wind can be tricky.Greens and fairways could be a bit neater but adds to the challenge rather than spoiling it. Fantastic views during the round and from the sunny seating area for a refreshing drink afterwards!

Very windy but dry considering the rain that had fallen
It was a westerly and quite strong. Made the 1st tee shot quite difficult. The 6th and 7th were played into it as well as was the 10th 12th 14th 16th and 17th. All tees in good nick but 2 or 3 off mats. One of two green with standing water but in corners and the rest of the green very playable. Rest of the course very playable and no sign of mud etc.Reviewer Rating

I have been playing at Hollingbury for over 25 years and I have never seen it looking so good or playing better. This is a testament to the dedicated, hardworking groundstaff. All their efforts over the last 2 years are now really showing through( despite covid restrictions and lockdowns ) So if you are looking for a playable, affordable, throughout the year, course with stunning views, look no further! You will be met with friendly helpful and knowledgeable staff to make your day go with a swing.

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.Reviewer Rating

Traditional South Downs Course
Great test of golf on a traditional downland course. Stunning views from most holes. A lot of effort is being put into this course from new owners post lockdown(Very noticeable work on good greens and surrounds bearing fruit having been left rundown) A little walked on by locals not sticking to paths but should improve as more regular golf traffic plays. Glad to have put this on my golf CV.Reviewer Rating

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.Reviewer Rating
