RAF Cottesmore Golf Club ☆ Follow

The Griffin Course is an 18-hole parkland layout that forms the primary championship offering at the club, situated in West Sussex. The course is characterized by mature trees and open views, with water hazards coming into play on several holes to add strategic complexity. It is paired with the Phoenix Course, a nine-hole layout designed as a more forgiving introduction to the game with fewer hazards, allowing for quicker rounds. Together, the facility provides 27 holes of golf, combining the classic parkland style of the Griffin with the accessible nature of the Phoenix. The golf course is located at Buchan Hill in Pease Pottage, near Crawley, set against the backdrop of the West Sussex countryside. The terrain supports a traditional parkland style, with the Griffin course offering a distinct challenge through its tree-lined fairways and water features. The Phoenix course provides a contrasting experience, focusing on a faster pace of play with reduced difficulty, making it suitable for those seeking a shorter round or a less demanding test of golf. The facility also includes an on-site pro shop and a golf academy, supporting players with equipment and instruction. The course status and tee times are managed through an online booking system, with specific operational notes indicating that both courses are open for general play, subject to conditions such as course closures for specific events like Captain's Day.
