Willingdon GC

Great value for money on a hot deal. A very pleasant greeting from the pro in the pro-shop. The pro was very helpful. I have played this course on several occasions and it was in great shape from tee to green. The greens are always in great condition tbh where the ball always runs true. It’s no surprise that my putts-per-round is always lower on this course. The only slight negative is that there are some holes that cross-cross so you have to have your wits about you. Overall, excellent though.

Tough track for mid to high handicaps

Nice course, well maintained and varied. Tough track for an average golfer though. Fast and tricky greens too

I am a member of the highwoods in Bexhill and could not believe how bad the greens at Willingdon were. Some of the worst I have played. Putting was a complete lottery

Greens very bumpy

Have played here plenty of times before and although I scored my best score here I felt the greens were not in the usual excellent condition I felt they were very bumpy but playable

Great course, excellent condition

Great course, if not a little hilly, but in excellent condition especially given the time of year. Challenging course but good fun.

Oops too many societies

Great course, lovely condition. 4 hours for 14 holes. Walked in and filled my face with some good food. I will return, hopefully with no more 10 minute waits on some tees. Will check with the booking staff next time.

Excellent, challenging (hilly!) course

Lovely course with fairways and greens in fantastic condition. Don’t be deceived by the relatively short yardage on the scorecard as the endless hills and tricky approach shots make this a challenging course.
There are some fantastic elevated tees and stunning views including some to the coast and see. Highly recommended, just be prepared for tired legs and probably a few lost balls!

Great Introduction to Willingdon GC

Great layout. Great condition for the time of the year. Good value for money. Only negative comment would be that the pro shop was shut. Not sure if the assistant was at lunch!
