West Sussex has no detractors, merely happy throngs of ardent admirers. It is everybody's idea of what a good golf course should be. In the modern world where length is cardinal, its secrets lie within the noble terrain of heather and pine and the inspiring backdrop of the Sussex Downs. It is the variety, charm and challenge of individual holes that sets it apart, something rarely achieved.
West Sussex's strength is there are no weaknesses. The West Sussex Golf Club was officially opened in 1931, having been designed by three outstanding golf architects, Hutchison, Campbell & Hotchkin. They are acknowledged to have created one of the most natural and aesthetically pleasing heathland courses in England.

Had an overnight layover at Gatwick so took a 40 minute ride to play West Sussex. Great course. Visually spectacular. Not long but tight with Heather on every hole. Traditional club, but the members are extremely hospitable to guests. Very different from any course I've ever played and worth the trip.

Excellent course in very good condition. Very traditional and welcoming club. The club operates a 2 ball only approach, which doesn't work for all but certainly speeds up play.
The layout is superb, a real test of all aspects of your game. The heather lined fairways and well positioned bunkers mean that accuracy rather than length is at a premium.
Staff are very helpful and friendly, catering is top notch.
Would highly recommend a round for those that love traditional, high quality golf.
