Golf at East Sussex National

The East Sussex National Golf Club boasts two championship courses — the East Course and the West Course — both designed to challenge and inspire golfers of all abilities.

• East Course: A 7,138-yard championship layout from the gold tees, the East Course has hosted prestigious European Tour events and is a must-play for serious golfers. Its immaculate conditioning and scenic holes make it both a challenging and memorable experience.
• West Course: Slightly shorter and more strategic, the West Course offers a technical test with narrower fairways and undulating greens — perfect for those who enjoy thoughtful course management.

Both courses are maintained to championship standards and wind through beautiful woodland and rolling parkland, making this one of the best golf resorts in East Sussex.

Pro tip: The West Course is a hidden gem - book an early tee time to enjoy the tranquil surroundings and sunrise views over the South Downs.
