What the club says: Golf has been played on our downland course since 1896. Excellent drainage and professional maintenance guarantee play all year round, always on the main greens, and usually on grass tees.
The elevated location of the course provides panoramic views of the Sussex countryside in all compass directions. The challenge presented by the 6224 yard course is enhanced by undulating fairways and greens and by the elements. Members and visitors have access to a five-bay driving range and practice chipping and putting greens.

Wow
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

Worth a visit - one of the best around
Excellent course, a little bit of a strange layout which might put me off playing on a busy day as a lot of crisscrossing. Staff extremely friendly and accommodating. Course in immaculate condition despite the rain on the day and week before. Would play again in a mid-week or off peak time. One of the best courses around with stunning views!Reviewer Rating

wonderful challenging course, greens in superb condition, terrific views as the course is situated on top of cliff overlooking the town, very hospitable in both the pro shop and clubhouse mind you driving to the clubhouse is an experience up a very narrow steep hill.

Lovely views, tough course first time
Classic links golf; strong winds as one is very high on the South Downs. Course felt good throughout; greens were true and neither quick nor slow. A couple of blind shots but nothing to stop one playing. I loved it - would like to play here again. Wouldn't fancy it in bad weather as very exposed.Reviewer Rating

Full of character
It's not for the beginner. It's views are amazing and the course is full of character, some real challenging holes, the 18th being one of many.Highly recommend playing it if you haven't played there before.
Greens in good condition but tees were in a bad state.

Nicely tuck away above Lewes
Interesting layout above Lewes. Not the easiest to find or arrive at. Very warm welcome from pro and very informative. Course itself as this was my first visit difficult to gage. The greens were fast and undulating and in very good condition. The tees were well rotated and seeding provided at all par 3's. As there are plenty of public footpath need to be vigilent of walkers coming around the corner. Fairways not the best but considering the chalk features not too bad. A bit scraped up in places. Will definitely play again...oh and not for the feint hearted. Plenty of slopes and borrows to deal with.Reviewer Rating

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!
