Selsey Golf Club

Par 3s are very difficult because of hazards in front of the greens which need to be carried.

This is a difficult course to 'master' because of its length in places and hazards, but although the fairways are generally wide the penalty for missing them can be significant, ie bad lies, lost balls etc,

Overall I like this course, firstly because of its challenge, its a fairly easy walking course, its moderately priced and its the closest to where I now live. I particularly found it useful helping me regain my golfing fitness after a period of absence due to illness/injury. The negative is that the area is very windy because of its seaside location. Also I've not placed it in wet winter conditions, but hey my home club can be closed to me during the December to March period.

Because Selsey is a holiday destination surrounded by holiday chalets and caravan parks, it gets a lot of holiday visitors during the summer season. Nearby Chichester GC, part of the Maple group of clubs, seems to be the more vibrant and popular clubs with two 18 hole courses and a driving range.

There is a very small pro-shop at the course, not sure if there is a pro based there, but the shop assistant is mainly there to take bookings/green fees and sell a few refreshments and miscellaneous gold accessories. A couple of buggies are available to hire but must be made before 14.00.

The clubhouse bar is very welcoming of visitors. However, hot food doesn't seem to be available except for booked functions or dedicated club functions. I believe a caterer is being sought but won't likely be available until 2025, if at all!

Club house and practice area looked good but I didn't visit due to time. However pro shop staff very friendly and helpful. Course for a 9 hole is great and a proper links. dry as a bone after 2 days heavy rain and in great shape. Cant wait to play again.
