Holtye Golf Club

First visit to Holtye after driving past it loads (when you see a course from the road you just want to play it!). Its a really pretty course (9 hole /18 tee) that absolutely makes the most of the landscape with some flat and some really exciting undulating holes ( the 3rd is great). Its very short though and compensates by being narrow in parts.
If you want to practice your irons this course is perfect, you don't really need driver anywhere. Just be accurate.

Practice green was excellent and big. There's a chipping green but is in the trees and was wet and not fantastic.

I would go back but probably only in the summer (see below).

I don't know whether to be annoyed with Golf Now or the club but someone isn't passing on enough information. I got there and 5 out of 9 greens were temporary and you don't expect that. I checked when I got home and the club website does say so on the homepage but the whole point of Golf Now is that I don't have to go and check the ensure of every club i'm thinking of visiting first (otherwise i could just book through the club). Shame, because I had an otherwise excellent afternoon (score 71)

holtye provides excellent all the year round course .
with 100 year established fine fescue grasses on well drained sandstone bedrock. exciting and varied challenging holes.,with friendly and amenable clubhouse and staff.

Holtye is a pretty, nine-hole course that you underestimate at your peril. With trees lining the fairways, patches of heather lying in wait, a smattering of bunkers and unusual ditch-like features created long ago when trees were hauled out of the forest to build ships, there are plenty of problems to challenge players on this appealing heathland course.
Slightly disconcerting, the opening hole runs alongside a public road but only a prodigious hook off the first tee could threaten the traffic. Thereafter you disappear into the woods and the rest of the round is comparatively quiet.
The author A. A. Milne, famous for his Winnie-the-Pooh stories, was a frequent visitor with his son Christopher (Christopher Robin). And there’s a rumour that Sir Winston Churchill played here. Whether the former Prime Minister did in fact tee it up is open to doubt but what is certain is the club was founded in 1893.
Fast draining, well maintained and with plenty of elevation, Holtye offers what might well be the best golfing bargain in the whole of Sussex. After midday on weekdays, the green fee for nine holes is an extremely reasonable £10 ($15), while 18 holes (there are slightly different tees on the back nine) is a barely believable £14 ($21).
