Wish I'd found it earlier. It's a gem!
I'm a 71-year-old 18 handicapper and played it for the first time this week with my son. It was seriously windy, but this just added to the enjoyment. I wish I'd found it 20 years ago! Great welcome from the pro who also gave good advice and on a Sunday afternoon, we basically had the course to ourselves. Like all old courses, it's a bit quirky and the designer certainly knew all about the prevailing winds and where to put the bunkers. Again, the smallish greens are indicative of their age and in most cases they require a run in rather than a high shot, but the original contours make for some interesting putts. On most holes there's plenty of room for the odd wayward shot, but avoid the bunkers - they're brutal and coming out sideways can often be the best option. It's not a particularly difficult course to walk, undulating rather than hilly, and I managed fine with an electric trolley. I had a bad front 9 (three to get out of one bunker which i hadn't even seen from the tee) scoring 51, but a 43 on the back 9, considering the high winds, wasn't too bad. I will definitely return and improve on that on a calmer day. The tightest drive of the day is the one up the hill to the course itself. There weren't many cars in Lewes when this course opened, so take care and the time to enjoy the quaint properties on the way in. Lewes, you don't just have good beer - you have great golf. Thank you.Reviewer Rating

Beautiful backdrop and a very enjoyable course
Decided to visit Lewes as had heard it drains very well in wet weather and have been frustrated by other courses understandably being quite ready after all the wet weather. We were so impressed. The course was in great condition, with firm greens that were fun and challenging! If you like your golf with stunning views and thought provoking greens this is the place. We will be back soon!Only gripe was that the club house was closed when we had finished at 8pm on a hot sunny day!

This is a hidden gem. It has spectacular views over lewes and the Sussex countryside, something that few courses near here offer. Best time to play this course is early morning or early evening.
The front 7 holes are relatively straight forward however the remaining holes can be exceptionally difficult with the prevailing wind. Greens are always in impeccable condition and are really fast.
This course is an absolute bargain and offers so much more than a round of golf.

First time at Lewes GC and what a gem of a course and 360 degree panoramic views to match. Testing 18 holes but very enjoyable and test of skill. Straight shots onto these fairways often don't work. Greens are true and in superb condition.(Round played: Jul 2017

Course was in great condition, especially considering the recent downpour of rain. Excellent greens and fairways, green keepers are doing a brilliant job. Course is short in yardage but deceptively long as a lot of 2nd shots are uphill and require 2-3 extra clubs than you would normally play. We played in quite placid conditions but can imagine it being a brute in high winds given its location on the top of the downs. Amazing views in all locations as well. Would definitely play again ????

Course in fantastic condition and buggies were in use despite all the recent rain.
Fabulous course for playing this time of the year...might consider their Winter membership....very good value at £16 a week now till end of March 2015!!

This downland course is such a good test of your golf game, not prticularly long but shot placement is so important. Do you go for the green or drop it short and let it run on? The greens are excellent and always faster than you think! Fantastic views and good food and drink in the clubhouse make this a must play course if you are in the area.

Its a bit wierd...I have lived in Lewes for over 30 years and I've never played Lewes before. I have heard on the grapevine that its quite tricky especially when the wind gets up. The other stuff I heard was about the excellent greens and tees and superb drainage allowing play all year round. This was all true. Despite some local vandalism where some twat had doughnutted his 4x4 around some of the greens, they were superb; hard, fast, challenging and immensley rewarding if you read them correctly. I dont play long...no woods at all in my bag...but this didnt really affect me adversly on this course. The front nine was difficult for me as I am adjusting to a new swing but the back nine was the best golf I have ever played.
The only negative I could think about was some of the walks to the next tee went accross other holes and there is a blind crossover at one point. However, this is very minor and I would strongly recommend.
Fantastic day...great course

Superb course. For the weather we have had recently this is playing pure. Greens, fairways and teeboxes are immaculate. Be prepared for the wind, it wasnt a windy day but being so high up means there is always wind. Not a long course but one you need knowledge of, will definitely be back.Reviewer Rating
