Overview & Legacy
Nestled in Little Horsted, Uckfield, this premier golf resort spans 1,100 acres and boasts two distinct championship 18‑hole courses—designed by Bob Cupp—plus a 3‑hole Academy course built to USGA standards. It earned renown by hosting the European Open in 1993 and 1994, along with Challenge Tour events, PGA Tour qualifying schools, and regional Open qualifying competitions.
The East Course
A true stadium layout, the East Course stretches approximately 7,081 yards from the back tees. Its design showcases sculpted mounding, generous fairways, and immaculate greens, offering a visually dramatic and demanding experience. Among its notable features is the dramatic 17th: a 450‑yard par‑4 flanked by a winding creek, demanding precise strategic play!
The West Course
The West Course, measuring around 7,154 yards, offers a more intimate yet equally challenging test. Lined by ancient oak trees, serene pools, and gently flowing streams, it blends natural beauty with a golf‑course. A standout is the par‑5 12th, where water and strategic mounding command thoughtful navigation.
