About me: My first sport is running, but when my knees fail me (as they often do!) it's great to get out on the golf course instead. I've been playing about 18 months off and on, and am now looking to get out more regulary and play some new courses!

Up in the gods!

The first challenge of Lewes Golf Course is the extremely steep & narrow driveway to negotiate which leads to the top of the hill and the clubhouse. Its worth it - there are stunning views at the top!

A lukewarm greeting awaited me at the pro-shop, but nevertheless I paid my fee to the slightly disinterested pro and my way to the first tee.

The first is a medium length Par 4 with a wide fairway but a tricky green, and this pretty much set the theme for the rest of the holes. There is some truly stunning scenery up the top with the 8th providing 360 degree views!

All in all a good course, and and enjoyable day out. I'm not sure if I would want to be playing this course on a cold, wet windy day in December. There is no protection form the elements whatsoever!

Like threading a needle!

Pretty course, but very testing, you can hit good shots and still lose your ball! It's narrow especially the back 9.

I dont want to sound negative though because it is a lovely place to play. Just be prepared for a high number on your scorecard!!

A great day out, especially on a 241 for £15.

Retro Buggies, Brave Pheasants & Free Air Show!

I hadnt played goodwood for a while until today as it can be pricey and a bit elitest occasionally!

Having said that today it was superb, it has a lovely feel, well cared for with some nice touches and a terrific clubhouse as you would expect from Goodwood.

Loads of Wildlife out on the course especially the pheasants who will not move off the fairways for anyone! Got treated to a load of wartime planes doing acrobatics on the 6th and 7th - great fun! The airfield and racetrack is very close by so it can get noisy on the front 9!

Superb for the money!

This course is so underrated I felt the need to write about it! It can be a bit scruffy in the winter, but on a summers day it is a joy! It’s a municipal council run course but was designed by Hawtree and has some fabulous holes and provides quite a stiff test.

Holes to note are the signature 6th with a terrific elevated tee shot which requires a 180ft carry over water, and the 2nd and 12th that have magnificent views of the Solent and industrial Portsmouth. The 17th and 18th are tight and testing par fours with a woodland feel. The 13th has an inviting slim “corridor” of trees to the left to go for the green in one if you are feeling brave, and a safer route to the right.

So add into the mix that you can play this course for a TENNER after 2pm and a FIVER after 4pm, it has got to be worth a visit!!

Mature parkland course, tricky tricky greens!

Nicely laid out pretty parkland style course, undulating but not too steep. Large variety of testing tee shots, particulary difficult blind tee shot on the 8th, and a few needing a good carry over water. Greens very quick, and pin positions testing!

Overall would recommend, but come prepared for a challenge!
