Fantastic, highly recommended....
A fantastic course in the South Downs , near Ashdown Forest with superb views, all the way to Brighton on a very clear day so I was told.....
This is the 1st of 3 beautiful courses I played thanks to Yonex LPGT/Alex Nicholson/TSG, I did not take part in the competition but discovered the course at my leisure with Linda H.'s company, we had the privilege to be 1st on the Tee.
The course has a links feel, with lots of long carry over rough, heathers, gorse,, deep ravines, very mature and traditional in every way, sloping lies, fantastic greens very hard to master but a real pleasure when the putt sink in one or two. Lots of trees everywhere being so near the Ashdown Forest, The skies looked wonderful, not always sunny on the day but quite hot.
Again I did not play my full game due my injury, and I did not have all my clubs with me...but managed quite a few holes. There is a half way hut where Pimms & nibbles greeted the Ladies, In fact Linda and I made history as we were so far ahead of the groups that we set up the Table, prepared & sampled the Pimms !!!!!, the Organisers (Alex & David) were truly impressed by the TSG Ladies that they (Alex/David) remembered us & invited to their next Tour in Monmouth at very short notice ...That is another review coming up.
The course is tough, the rough evil and the ravines deadly! A true challenge in a superb setting.
The Clubhouse is very traditional with lots of memorabilia, with famous aristocratic names on their boards.
Very pleasant staff all around.
Great ladies changing room on the 1st floor.
The Buffet style meal after the competition was superb,all 1st class , compliments to the Chef for the presentation & freshness of the food.. We had the pleasure to share our meal with Ian Mullins and ladies golfers from very distinguished golf clubs from the South of England.
Large Visitors Car Park separate from the Members.
I highly recommend this course, a must on your list to play. Not cheap but worth it.
Watch out the page game as I plan to post a game when I have free time.
THE END......
