Southwick Park Golf Club

Played the course as I'm looking around local courses to see which one I want to join as a member. Considering the cost of membership, the course didn't live up to expectations.

The greens were rough with big gaps in between slabs of turf making putting quite difficult. The long grass around the fairways was so dense, any ball in that direction was lost immediately.

On the positive side of things, the staff were very polite and the clubhouse looks to be in great condition. Prices in the clubhouse seemed reasonable and the pro shop had a good selection for quite a small space. The tee boxes, that weren't still under construction, were well kept and the fairways were being maintained during play.

Personally I won't be looking for a membership but I will come play again in a couple of months to see if the greens have improved.

Not bad.. 6/10 for me

Find it disappointing that they don’t advertise the state of their course on this website but still charge full price. 15 out the 18 holes were temporary green in force. If I knew this in advance I would’ve not booked at the price. Feel like I should be refunded.

Staff were great on arrival and in the clubhouse - course is not too busy on weekend afternoons compared to other courses so a good opportunity to unwind - fishing is also available to golf members

We played this course a few months ago and it was a lovely course, good rate of play and interesting layout. However the tee’s were in awful condition, most were like hitting out of bunkers. We wouldn’t have minded if we were made aware of this before hand but it was a shock considering that it wasn’t even mentioned to us upon booking or check in.

Since last playing you can see the improvements made to the course. New bunkering, Pathways but the greens were in really good conditions for this time of year and how scorched the grass is this summer

Considering the dry conditions recently the course was in good condition with the Greens being superb. First seven holes were played at a steady pace however due to a very slow four ball four holes in front of us it backed up the rest of the round. No marshals on this course to encourage groups to a reasonable pace of play, not many courses now employee on course marshals unless you are on a premium course. Good day though and staff were excellent.

I recently played at Southwick Golf Club and found the course itself to be enjoyable, with well-maintained fairways and greens. The clubhouse facilities were impressive, offering clean, spacious changing areas and excellent shower amenities. However, the experience was significantly impacted by the poor condition of the tee boxes. They were in rough shape, resembling bunkers in some areas, which made teeing off challenging, especially for those who don’t regularly play off tees. While I understand maintenance is necessary, the extent of the disrepair was disappointing and not communicated prior to booking. Had we been informed in advance, we might have reconsidered our visit. Overall, a solid course, but the tee box conditions need attention to ensure a better experience for all players.

Lovely course lots of fun and in good condition

Tee boxes poor

Had a great time

Very enjoyable course with some challenging holes and fantastic views. Pace of play was little bit slow but nothing to do with club itself. Being start of the season the fare weather golfers were out. Will definitely be going back.

Absolutely shocking green conditions on every hole. Not one put ran smooth, ball bouncing all over making it near on impossible to follow a line. I will never play here again. RIP off for the money I paid.

There were no issues with the course from tee to green; however, problems arose once we attempted to land the ball on the green.

For whatever reason, the greens were covered in sand, inconsistent, no spin, feeling almost as firm as the car park.

Good pitch or approach shots were not rewarded, and we often had to play our next shot from the rough at the back of the green—good luck navigating an up-and-down from there!

Putting & chipping on a sandy green presents challenges with judging pace that I wasn't accustomed to.

You can forget playing to your handicap.

I paid £126 for three people, but I didn't enjoy the experience as it didn't feel like normal golf.

If these issues were addressed, I would consider returning.

The groundskeeper should be very pleased with the course right now. Greens were in excellent condition, as were the fairways. Sunny afternoon made it even more enjoyable.

Course was a little damp as we anticipate moving forward into October. Played here a lot being my local course. Interesting holes and pin placements. Greens were ok, but understandable due to weather, but no pitch marks or damage. Play was kept to pace and minimal waiting around. Overall great game today as a four ball.

PS try to keep away from trees as leaves on the ground make searching for your ball is almost impossible, even if you track the flight and landing.
