Lewes Golf Club

Lewes Golf Club is a challenging downland course located in the South Downs National Park, East Sussex, founded in 1896. The 18-hole course plays year-round on all-weather terrain with permanent greens, featuring quick-draining chalk grassland that remains playable regardless of weather conditions. The layout presents a fair challenge with wide fairways that require strategic positioning due to slope variations and undulating greens with two-tiered sections.

The course is set within the historic landscape of the South Downs, offering panoramic views across Sussex throughout the round. Its unique elevation and downland setting provide both aesthetic appeal and tactical difficulty for golfers of all abilities. Notable characteristics include fast, undulating greens and fairways positioned to reward accurate shot placement rather than length alone.

Lewes Golf Club has established itself as an environmentally conscious facility, recently receiving recognition for biodiversity initiatives protecting its chalk grassland habitat. The club hosts regular tournaments including a Pro-Am event and Senior Teams Open, and maintains comprehensive practice facilities alongside its clubhouse and restaurant operations.
