Hidden Gem ????
I played this course as part of the Sussex Heathland tour back in July which also includes Royal Ashdown and Crowborough. Unfortunately Piltdown is not comparable to the other two. The layout of the course was fairly interesting but nowhere as interesting or challenging as the other two. All three courses suffered from the very dry spell and therefore were dry and bouncy. This highlighted certain elements at Piltdown which weren't evident at the other two courses. Piltdown has been bold in investing a considerable amount of money on their greens which I am sure with time will reap benefits. However, it is noticeable due to the fairway conditions that Piltdown must suffer from poor drainage in the wetter weather. Furthermore, with dry bouncy fairways, the heather comes more into play for all levels of handicaps. Compared to the other two courses, the heather condition at Piltdown was very poor with all sorts of weeds, brambles and young tree shots in the heather. This was not seen at either Ashdown or Crowborough and can only be a result of poor attention to detail.I would certainly go back to Ashdown and Crowborough which were in my opinion "gems" but upon reflection I won't bother again with Piltdown.

Understated Delight
With its informal rustic seating on the lawn by the roadside, you could think you’re at a country inn, but this is a delightful place to play golf.I found this course easier than nearby Crowborough Beacon, being far less hilly and without the long carry from tees to reach fairways. No bunkers, although the undulating greens are the defence, with most surrounded by run off slopes, so good short game skills are needed.
Not a long course with five par-3 holes, which all play downhill, but a good variety in length of others, so I used every club in my bag. All very well maintained, with ongoing improvements to add to the investment that has clearly been made in recent years.
I really enjoyed playing here. Not local for me, but I was in Sussex for a few days so returned the next day to play again. Well, a former Club Pro stayed for 37 years....

CHARMING
A very enjoyable day on a beautiful course. My advice would be to make sure your short game is in good order before playing here, the undulating greens and surrounding slopes provide a thorough test.(Round played: May 2019 - Score: 87 Handicap: 13.2)

Piltdown Golf Course
Tucked away near Uckfield in Sussex you will find this very pleasant golf course. Along with a lot of courses at this time of year it is very dry with brownish grass so be prepared for a lot of bounce and running balls. A good test for all ability golfers although long hitters will find it easier at the moment. A cosy and welcoming club house with good facilities.Reviewer Rating

A real Challenge
A real good course and well worth a visit.Its a course that you need to think your way around ,not hit and hope.The heather and gorse rough is challenging and playing for position is a test of accuracy.For the high handicappers like me it can be a bit frustrating but nevertheless a great day out and I would recommend the course.Beautiful surroundings and the staff very attentive and friendly.An all round good day.Reviewer Rating
