Championship Golf Courses

There’s no better way to experience the majesty of the East Sussex countryside than by playing a round of golf at ‘The National’. We welcome everyone who wishes to spend time on our spectacular courses. Our meticulous attention to detail and clubhouse facilities, which are amongst the finest in Europe, make the game even more enjoyable. Both our championship courses were designed by Robert E Cupp, one of Jack Nicklaus’s course architects, with major championship golf in mind. At the time of construction, our East Course was the first of its kind in the country to be galleried – even those not playing feel the superiority of our courses as they offer unrivalled spectator appeal.

The facilities include a 13 acre driving range, with open grassed and covered bays, greenside and fairway bunkers, pitching and chipping areas, three putting greens and a championship standard three hole academy course.
