Golf courses in Sussex

Sussex offers diverse golf across its varied landscape, from the chalk Downs to the coastal plain and the Weald. Royal Ashdown Forest provides outstanding heathland golf in the High Weald, while the downland courses offer panoramic views across the rolling countryside.

The coast provides links-style golf at Rye, where Old Tom Morris laid out holes on the marshland, and at courses along the shore from Brighton to Eastbourne. East Sussex National has hosted European Tour events, while West Sussex Golf Club at Pulborough offers excellent heathland in a peaceful setting.

The terrain includes chalk downland with springy turf and sea views, heathland in the Weald, and coastal courses on the Channel shore. Sussex enjoys a mild southern climate, particularly along the coast, with golf comfortable year-round. The combination of quality courses and easy access from London makes Sussex a popular choice for golfers seeking variety within a single county.
