Cooden Beach Golf Club

Bexhill-on-Sea, East Sussex, England

Cooden Beach Golf Club's course was designed by W. Herbert Fowler and opened in 1912. The 18-hole layout measures 6,531 yards from the back tees and 6,182 yards from the yellow boxes, featuring five par-3 holes and five par-5 holes. Located on the East Sussex coast near Bexhill-on-Sea, the course is characterized by gentle undulations and springy turf that makes it accessible to players of all abilities. The relatively flat terrain provides an easy walk, though the course presents a genuine challenge through its design and coastal conditions. Natural drainage is provided by internal and external dykes that border many holes and can penalize wayward shots. The primary difficulty comes from unpredictable coastal winds that constantly change the playing characteristics. Well-maintained fairways and greens in excellent condition are notable features, and the course's longevity since 1912 demonstrates its enduring appeal as a challenging yet enjoyable test for all categories of golfers.
