What the club says: Worthing Lower (Championship) Course is the most interesting of all the Downland Links courses and the best test of golf. The course is excellent, especially around the magnificent series of holes coming before the turn in a picturesque valley known as Deep Bottom that rises up towards Cissbury Ring, the site of an old Roman Fort.
The Upper Course provides an interesting contrast to the Lower Course. With a total length of 5211 yards against the 6505 yards of the Lower, it is a less exacting test for the handicap player. However, its smaller scale requires greater accuracy and allows fewer margins for error.
Both courses command breathtaking views of the English Channel, the finest provided by the holes around the turn on the Upper Course. They offer you a panoramic view of the whole stretch of the Channel from the Seven Sisters to the east across to the Isle of Wight in the west.

Not ideal weather
Played the Lower Course, but unfortunately the weather could have been better. Course itself is in good condition, with many interesting holes. Greens were very good and reasonably true, although there were some interesting unexpected rolls. Must learn to read greens better.Reviewer Rating

What a lovely golf course, not for the beginner that's for sure. The greens were unbelievably hard to read. First time of playing there and would fully recommend it. Never given a golf course full marks, but this course gets it.Reviewer Rating

Lovely course in good condition. Played with a friend who's a member so great deal in playing the upper and lower courses for £25. Excellent facilities too and had a good lunch in the bar between rounds. Greens in great condition though you might expect them to be a little bit quicker than they actually are. No par 5's on the upper course but still a decent challenge and placement is key.

We played the lower course Oct 2014 and were very surprised how gpod a condition it was in.
The greens were a little two paced but still ran true. We were made to feel very welcome and allowed to tee off before waiting members as we were a two ball. Overall a very good experience.

What a beautiful day to play golf on the South Downs. This is the second time I have played the upper course it might have a par of 66 but its tough and very challenging in places especially when the wind picks up. Scored very well for me which was a surprise because my driving was not very good.
