A great course to play all year round set on south side of the downs. Fantastic panaramic views from sea on one side to the downs on the other.
Unusual start with 3 par 5s in the first 4 holes. Having said that the first 2 are basically the same hole just stretching further from the club house.
The 5th is a delightful par 3 that you only see once you have left the 4th green, and as always the wind direction can make 4 clubs difference !
The 7th, 9th and 10th are average par 4s with neither length nor bunkering featuring too heavily, having said that, the newish bunkers down the left side of 9 do make for a more difficult drive.
The 11th is basically the same hole as the 1st or the 2nd.
Then come 2 good par 4s which require a different shape of shot than most of us are comfortable playing (the draw).
The 16th really deserves its sroke index 1 as it is a par 4 which is often unreachable with driver then 3 wood if the wind is in your face !
the 17th is another great par 3 but the 18th is unfortunately one of the weaker holes on the course.
In truth there are not that many special holes but there are only a couple of week ones.
As is so often the case unfortunately, the members here seem to believe themselves to be above mere mortals because they belong to a private club.
I know several members who are nothing like this, but i am yet to play a green fee round without a dirisery comment from one member or another.
I understand all to well that we are guests on their course but it appears they have a members list made up of wannabe captains !
I let my scoring do the talking unlike many i have experienced at The Dyke !
Overall the course is a really good one which can change dramatically with the wind from one day to the next.
I just hope that young golfers (without rich parents) are not put off by the attitude of so many that believe this to be the best club around Brighton.

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.

First time round here. Lovely course in good condition. Plenty of variety including a few blind tee shots. Greens were decent. Rough is no joke when trying to play out of it. Very welcoming at the club. Would like to play it again in future.

Lovely course with views over the sea and Brighton. The greens are probably are the fastest in East Sussex, fast with lots of breaks. The course is in lovely condition but expensiveReviewer Rating
