What the club says: The Dyke provides a first class test of golf, measuring 6605 yards from the tournament tees, 6297 yards from the visitors' tees and 5515 yards from the ladies' tees. As with most downland courses, the degree of difficulty varies according to the strength and direction of the wind. With a stiff sea breeze blowing up from the Channel, the wide fairways often seem narrow and the strategically placed bunkers play their part.
Among the attractive points of the layout of the course is the contrast between the long hard-hitting holes on the western side of the ridge and the holes of a more adventurous type on the eastern side.

We had biblical rain on the day. However, the course stood up very well to the conditions. Greens were smooth and quick in pace too. Fairways were still eminently playable. We very much enjoyed the course. Afterwards, the staff were very helpful, indeed the pro took it upon himself to kindly get a plastic bag for my wet gear! Thoroughly recommend going to this club.

Great day at the Dyke
Our annual visit to the Dyke was fantastic as always. Looked after in advance by Brad to get the best options for our society, and looked after on the day by Herbie in the bar. Both are a credit to the club. The course was spot on and so were the facilities and the food. See you next year guys!!Reviewer Rating

Wonderful visit to The Dyke GC
Our annual Seniors group reciprocal day out was a joy. 39 of us enjoyed this great course in perfect warm May weather: sun, and a gentle breeze cooling us down. The course was in superb condition with the greens a little slow but true enough for one to have a good chance of holing a few from distance. The bacon rolls were very good and the sausage, eggs, chips and beans were cooked and served perfectly. The friendly staff worked really hard to us an exceptional day out.Reviewer Rating

The course itself is a real treat, with challenging yet enjoyable holes that cater to golfers of all skill levels. But what really sets Dyke apart are its greens – quite possibly the best in East Sussex!

Society Day in November.
I run a society with over 100 members and I try to provide course local and affordable, but also playable and inviting. I must admit that The Dyke fits pretty much every requirement to suit the members needs. Because it is downland the under foot condition was excellent despite poor weather the previous day. I have always enjoyed the challenging layout, with several par 5's early on, along with some difficult par 3's. The staff were friending and helpful and the breakfast we had before hand was of very good quality. It was slightly more than I would have liked to pay, but the overall day was great. I would recommend this for a society trip or just somewhere to play in the winter time.Reviewer Rating

We held a society day this year, which was initially planned for July but was cancelled (unbelievably) due to fog. The staff at the club were so friendly and accommodating, allowing us to cancel and change the date without any issue. We ended up playing late September in glorious sunshine on the South Downs. There are great views from the clubhouse and the course is a real test in the wind. The speed of the greens were brilliant for the time of year and ran very true. The condition of the course was some of the best I've seen in Sussex through the year. I would highly recommend hosting a society day at The Dyke GC, so much so we are due to return for 2025.Reviewer Rating

Open & enjoyable but not the Braid we were expecting
Lovely setting & great views & reminiscent of Braid on the back 9 at Dunstable but TBH while not finding fault with the the course, how well it had been kept, the greens the fairways, while the views were marvellous, the main defence of the course is the wind & we?d been expecting more Braid like features such as doglegs etc but it was so open it almost became a little bland & not enough distinctive feature holes. On another day when the wind is blowing I'm sure it's far more of a challenge .Reviewer Rating

Mixed open August 2024
The course is in magnificent condition. The greens are quick, but not crazy quick, and they are running true. The recent enhancements to the bunkers, as well as the contouring make the course a pleasure to play. We had fantastic weather, the breeze was not too strong, and the buffet after the round was absolutely amazing actually. Great value for £45 per player. Will hopefully play in the opens again next year.Reviewer Rating

Captains Golf Day
We had 120 captains and past captains hold their golf day at The Dyke. It was a brilliant day, Bradley and the rest of the team couldn't have looked after us any better. From the moment we arrived, they were there to look after us and make sure that a busy day ran smoothly. All the players commended the club on the condition of the course, the greens were smooth and true. The course itself, is an outstanding example of a downland course, it provides a variety of challenges, and the views are stunning. As for the food this was excellent, proper golfers fare. The easiest way to judge how well the day went is to see if they book again, we are already booked in for next year. Can't recommend this course highly enough.Reviewer Rating

Great test of golf
I recently had the pleasure of playing at the stunning golf course located in the south of England, near the coast, and I can't say enough about the wonderful experience I had. The combination of picturesque coastal views and the well-maintained course made it an unforgettable day.The location itself was a sight to behold. As you teed off, you could see the glistening waters of the ocean in the distance, and the sound of seagulls added to the coastal ambiance. The natural beauty of the area created a serene and calming atmosphere that made every swing of the club even more enjoyable.
The course was in impeccable condition. The fairways were lush and perfectly manicured, and the greens were fast and true. It was evident that the staff put a great deal of effort into maintaining the course. The bunkers were well-placed and added a nice challenge to the game, without being overly punishing.
One of the aspects that truly impressed me was the layout of the course. It was challenging enough to keep things interesting for experienced golfers, yet forgiving enough for those still honing their skills. The variety of holes, with some featuring blind shots and others taking full advantage of the coastal terrain, made each hole a unique and exciting experience.
The clubhouse and facilities were also top-notch. The staff was friendly and accommodating, and the post-round meal was delicious. It was a great way to relax and chat about the highlights of the day while enjoying the panoramic views of the coast.
In conclusion, this golf course in the south of England, near the coast, is a gem. It offers a fantastic golfing experience with breathtaking scenery and a well-maintained course. I highly recommend it to golfers of all skill levels, and I can't wait to return for another round in this beautiful coastal setting.
