Editor's Note: Course closed for residential development in 03/2019

Hassocks Golf Club is a pay and play golf course, available to all, from the seasoned golfer to the complete beginner. The 18 hole course is situated on mature parkland in Sussex Weald in the shadow of the south downs, just five minutes from Brighton. The clubhouse has a bar, restaurant and a spike bar, and there are extensive practice facilities within the complex, such as putting/chipping areas.

The course is designed to test golfers of all abilities, whether experienced or novice, due to the strategic placement of the many water and sand hazards. It is set in the parkland of the picturesque Sussex Weald and is 'easy on the feet' because of its relatively flat nature.

Shame About the Mower

Nice course and would defintely play it again. There are sufficient shorter holes to give high handicappers like me a chance of reaching par fours in two, with one or two really difficult holes and some that you have play for position. It was only spoiled by the fact their large mower was apparently broken. This left the semi rough with deep clover resulting in myself and my playing partner losing about three balls each when they should have been easily found. Hopefully the mower will be repaired soon. The only other minor fault was the lack of direction signs as the path to the next tee was not always that obvious.

short course with narrow fairways

Hassocks is a short course but quite narrow so you need to be able to hit straight!- plenty of bunkers and water to keep you occupied! The greens are in very good condition. Unfortunately, the weather let us down and we came off after 14holes - however more importantly I had already thrashed my brother 6 and 5 !!

Very flat short overpriced course

We booked a tee time for 07.38 yet pro shop didn't open until 07.30 & the clubhouse was still closed We paid £21 each online but I would say that was overpriced & think £15 max would be fair. Fairways were not the best a bit weedy & the sand in most bunkers had a lot of stones. Greens were maintained well..

Awful Customer Service in Pro Shop

Arrived to advise person attending Pro Shop that had double booked - Once on Golfnow and once direct with the course direct.

I was told by the attendee that he wouldn't not be able to honor the GolfNow Reservation and that i had to pay an additional £30 and ask GolfNow for a refund on my original reservation.

After speaking with an adviser at GolfNow i have been told they do not offer refunds.

I have basically been lied to by Hassocks staff and paid £63 for a round that should have cost £33.

Ideal for a quick round.

Love this course. If you just want a nice round with a playing time of around three and a quarter to three and a half hours and a fairly flat, short course this is ideal. Would much rather play here for £10-£15 than a better course on paper for £25-£30.

First Time Playing

Ok

The course was clean and tidy, however not playing there before I was relying on the signs to show me the hole layouts. The yardages were wrong on some of them and a few of them were old and didn't have the relevant information. The pace of play was really slow due to a 4 ball out in front and although there seemed to be a ranger on the course he wasn't telling the 4 ball to let people through. Having said that for £20 a round it was value for money

Poor Driving Range

Course is good and not too challenging for a relative newcomer however pre-round warm up poor due to condition of booths/mats or absence of mats on the driving range.

Course in good Nick. Greens a little patchy

Considering the rain the week before the course was in good condition. It used to suffer with bad drainage but it is much improved. Greens were a little patchy but run of ball seemed not to be affected. Will play again during the winter months.

Save this course!

I love this course and play it about once a year.

It improves every time I play and the quality of the fairways and greens put local courses to shame!

It is such a shame that the owners are selling half this course for property development as this will be a great lose to the area.

My only complaint would be the bunkers. Although some are well dressed with sand, others are being left to go to seed which is a shame as many of them are great challenges and improve the difficulty of the course but unfortunately even the good ones havnt been raked in days!

But saying all that it is a great course to play!

Long may it live!

Fun and challenging in parts

Like this course, the greens are kept very well, other golfers are friendly and a good round to sharpen up your game. Also has good practice green and a practice ground for irons.
