Nestled in a natural amphitheatre in the stunning South Downs, Willingdon Golf Club is a true hidden gem for golfers in Eastbourne. Designed by the legendary Alister MacKenzie, the same mastermind behind Augusta National, our 18-hole course is packed with character, strategy and challenges that keep you coming back for more.
From the white tees, our golf course is a par 69 measuring 6,094 yards, while the yellows come in at 5,841 yards. For the ladies, it plays as a par 74 from the yellows (5,841 yards) or a par 73 from the blues (5,527 yards). With six par 3s, three par 5s, and MacKenzie’s signature two-tier greens, every round here is a mix of risk, reward and pure enjoyment.
One of the things that makes Willingdon stand out is our clever layout. The natural undulations mean no two shots are the same, and with our chalk base ensuring great drainage, you can tee it up all year round – even when other courses in Eastbourne and East Sussex are struggling with the weather.
Willingdon is also a top choice for golf societies and group bookings. We love welcoming groups of all sizes, offering a fantastic course, friendly hospitality and great food in our clubhouse. Whether you’re looking for a sociable round with your friends or planning a memorable society day, Willingdon Golf Club ticks all the boxes.
Grab your clubs and come see why golfers keep coming back time and again!
