Par 70, 6,325 yards
Cowdray’s lovely downland layout enjoyed a seven-figure investment in 2023/24, with the upgrade work overseen by William Swan of Swan Golf Designs. It ranks among the best courses in Sussex and is located less than 20 minutes from what many consider the finest course in the county at West Sussex Golf Club in Pulborough, one of just two Sussex courses in the Golf Monthly UK&I Top 100 along with Rye Golf Club.
The most notable element of the upgrade project has been the bunkering, with all bunkers reconstructed and reshaped to create bold new visuals that enhance both aesthetics and strategy. The project has also seen the recreation of the long-lost double green shared between the 7th and 14th holes.
