2-FORE!-1 Best of Britain: Sussex

Sussex is the home of some top quality golf courses and fortunately many belong to 2-FORE!-1 Golf scheme which features 900 plus courses nationwide and offers seriously discounted gren fee rates.

*Brighton & Hove – This wonderful nine holer is the oldest course in Sussex and celebrated its 125th anniversary last year.

The downland course is always in excellent shape – the exceptional natural drainage owing to its lofty location high on the Sussex Downs, means it is in fact only closed for snow!

Although a nine holer you can comfortably and enjoyably play 18 – there are different tees as you can play from the whites on the front nine and the black tips on the reverse nine.

*Chartham Park – top 20-years-old Neil Coles parkland layout with sensational North Downs views. A must play.

*Royal Ashdown Forest (West course) – Sits in the shadows of the majestic Old Course but is a classy heathland layout in its own right. The West started out as a nine holer in 1889 but was transformed to 18 holes in 1932.

*East Brighton – Stunning par-72 fast-draining downland layout with top views – from the 12th tee, the highest point on the course, you’ll be knocked out by the spectacular vistas of the English Channel.

*Tilgate Forest – A great all-round golf complex and you’ll particularly be impressed by the challenging par-72 course with its combination of tree-lined fairways, tight doglegs and well-guarded greens.

*Mannings Heath (Kingfisher course) – Pictured right: One of the best golf venues in the region and the Kingfisher course is a fine foil for the neighbouring, members only Waterfall track.
