- Andrey GuenovLondon, UK2 contributionsIn Brighton and Hove Golf Club we experienced the very best of British golf culture and hospitality in a memorable afternoon which we will remember always. We visited Brighton and Hove Golf Club on a windy afternoon in September. Before even getting there, we already had a wonderful interaction with Lindsay and Brad, who were extremely sweet and accommodating. On the day, we received a welcoming which was more friendly, sincere, and warm than at any other golf course we have ever visited before. At this course with a history of over 130 years, with breathtaking views, in the homeland of Golf, the very essence of sportsmanship and hospitality which make the sport special were front and center in every single interaction we had with the staff and members. Please understand that from the perspective of a tourist couple who have only played golf a number of months, this was wholly unexpected and moved us deeply. There was not a whiff of distance or a sense of superiority which are unfortunately so common at so many other golf courses around the world. No. Here, we were welcomed with smiles, offered clubs for hire, offered explanations and tips, offered every possible friendly gesture. I cannot begin to express what it meant to us to be welcomed so warmly by such an institution as Brighton and Hove Golf Club. The members which we met - one of whom a semi professional golfer in his youth - were nothing but friendly, warm and welcoming. What fantastic, outstanding individuals. We played a lovely round of golf, helped by the tips shared by staff and members. We had an absolute blast! What a thrill. We will remember it always. Upon leaving, we were greeted by Martin, another absolutely excellent employee and exemplary person - a true paragon of golf sportsmanship. He was beyond generous when seeing us off and made us feel truly welcome. He set us up with a tee time the next day. It was truly a perfect finish to a perfect day, at the best golf course we have ever been at. While we weren’t able to make our tee time the next day (Sorry, Martin!) we are looking forward to coming here again. A true, honest 10/10 experience. I couldn’t recommend it more. Book a tee time early and come prepared for an unforgettable round of golf at the golf course which has kept the tradition alive for literally hundreds of years. I wish them 1000 more years of only the very best.Written September 30, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Atters2 contributionsGreat traditional downland course(JH Taylor) with some serious history, played by some of the greats of the game - Vardon, Faulkener etc.New owners have taken on the challenge from Brighton council and already made some great improvements to greens/surrounds etc. This is definitely one for your golf CV. The views across Brighton and the English Channel are spectacular and even with this course, work in progress, it was a hugely enjoyable experiece.Written August 19, 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Rhod JLondon, UK333 contributionsYou either love links golf or you hate it. This is a very friendly club that I have played a couple of times - but if the wind blows (as it can do on the South Coast) you need your wits about you. The course itself is in good condition and (as you would expect) dries quickly. We had 4 seasons in one day in June but again you have to be prepared for that.
The course itself is an interesting mixture. It's not flat (like some links courses) so some holes are protected from the wind. Indeed on some holes you dont feel you are on a links course at all. But as I say, when it blows, you have the age old problem of aiming in a different direction to where you want the ball to end up.
All the same it's great fun. 24 points was a meagre return this time but that wont put me off and it should not do for others. Good pint of Harveys in the bar afterwards aswell.Written August 24, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The old refreshment hut / ticket office has become The Beacon Hub Cafe Kiosk having been granted a fifteen year, rent-free lease by Brighton & Hove City Council.
The Beacon Hub’s aim is to redevelop the building for education and to develop a community arts programme intended to make the most of the stunning views and beautiful countryside. It’s hoped this will inspire old and young to be more creative, promote well-being through health-walks, sports activities, disabled access and enjoyment for all.
It has to said that, perched on the edge of the South Downs overlooking the sea, it’s a perfect location to teach both children and adults about land and marine conservation.Written December 31, 2017This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
